Ok mike
Now that you have spent 5 months learning the game - now its time to master it.
Take some of that 90 hours you are spending to do a couple different things.
If you have the luxory of not having to work and have money - just go on to step two.
STEP ONE
Get a job and start saving money for a bankroll so that you are comfortable. You can use your weekly earnings to play poker with - but just make sure you stash some away anyways.
STEP TWO
Start to play all different kinds of poker instead of just Hold Em. When you do become a pro and are having trouble making money with hold em and are having a bad streak - you will want to have a few extra games that you know well in your back pocket. Try Omaha - Razz- 7 Card Stud. These can help you to become a more complete poker player and can help you with your Hold Em.
STEP 3
Read all the poker books you can get your hands on. Doyle Brunsons SUPERSYSTEM and SUPERSYSTEM 2 are must reads as well as CARO'S BOOK OF TELLS. Read Phil Hellmuths book and Dan Harringtons book. These will give you the ins and outs of what you have figured out already having played 12 hours a day for the last five months - but will fine tune your knowlege and even give you some hints and plays that you have not used or thought of.
STEP 4
When first learning to play ring cash games - start at lower limit - LIMIT Hold Em tables. This will help you in your betting once you get to No Limit. Sit n Gos are an excellent place to have a good chance of winning good amounts of money. I would recommend that you only play in 18 player or less sit n gos
STEP 5
PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY

Depends on what kind of person you are.
Some players never learn from their mistakes, while others learn fairly quickly how bad their play was.
There are players that know fairly quickly how the table is playing and adjust their game. Others ask to see the other players hole cards every single hand at showdown and still don't know what's going on.
Personality plays a part. Some players don't have patients to play poker. Don't matter if they think they're beat. They just have to see it.

If you play 90 hours a week and have to ask: No, you most certainly will not.
You really need to find something else to do. And likely get professional help, because 90 hours is on the entirely wrong side of the fine line between dedication and addiction.

I agree with David G that it's cruel to hold a Texan for 90 hours a week but the real question is...Why does the Texan keep coming back every week?

No you will be broke and single.
Go get a job and meet some people. You shouldn't do anything 90 hours a week.

That depends on the cards and the people you are playing with and how you play the cards you have.
