I make my $2500 a month playin 3 tables of 15/30 at a time. There is still no way to average $150/hour. The books say you should make 1BB/hour playin casino poker. This is true. Now what most people do, is figure.. well, you only get 30 hands/hour in casino so I can multiply that by the 100 hands im getting online. You can't make as many BB's per/hand online because other players are doing the same thing, playin mutliple tables, and if there not, they are playing much tighter then they play at a casino because they get to see many more hands. Therefore your competetion is in general much better. Then when you add in your playing 3 tables, you have less reads on people then you would in a casino so you either going to pay off more losing bets and laydown more losing hands then you would in a casino. So your BB/hand goes down even farther. I think making $50/hour playing 3 tables 15/30 is about as high as anyone could average. The 30/60 games are much much tighter and anyone that plays those has a horrible game selection. Half the times, the good 15/30 games have higher avg. pots then the 30/60 games.

I'm not going to waste any more time arguing this point with you. You make numerous bad assumptions. First of all, playing 3 tables online you should get closer to 200 hands an hour than 100. There are many 15/30 mulitablers who average 2bb/100 hands playing 4-6 tables. So at 4 tables that is about $150 an hour. You can search the other forums on here and find about 10000 posts which back up the points I'm making here.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't get involved in trading, but I definitely think you need a reality check. Your poker career has probably not been as successful as you think, and the fact that you know so little about the kind of results good poker players are getting makes me think you aren't the kind of person who really does their homework.
