Default Is it possible to make a decent living in SNG\'s

Does anyone here make a living off of SNG's?
Is it possible? (at say the $200 Buy-In Level)

It is definitely possible to make a living playing 215s.

You think not what? That no one multis the 215s? Watch the steps and see all the people that 4 table the $1065 buy in.

Sure its possible.

Get a big bankroll for living expenses, a fat roll for playing the 30s with and have fun.

Playing SnGs for a living is sooo much fun!! All you have to do is shake the Bi-polar chemicals released in your brain on a daily basis.

Not everyone can do it. And it has as much to do with poker as it does money managment and stress managment(my biggest leak)

Take it from a Stupid Sucker.. Its easy fun and delightful.

Cash games get boring, SNGs are full of excitement.

How many games do you play a week and a day? How many at a time?

I'm a student, so I don't technically make a living playing SnGs, but I made $3K this month playing the $22s. My ROI is about 15% and I played ~800 SnGs (the other $400 came from rakeback). A really good (30%+ ROI) full-time player could probably get in at least 1200 SnGs per month which would provide an income of ~$8K per month. Some of the full-time high-limit SnG pros make at least $20K a month.

The problem with going full-time is that Party SnGs might be almost totally solvable mathematically which means that the game may soon be overrun by bots or people using computer programs to assist their play.

Let's not fuel the paranoia by making statements like this.

And to answer the OP, yes you can make a living playing SNGs . . . even at the lower limits, but you have to multitable.

It all depends on what you consider a living. A $22 player with a 20% ROI can make $36K a year 4-tabling. A $22 player with a 15% ROI can make $54K a year 8 tabling. This is all assuming a 40-hr work week.
