As a side note - if you're self employed you can find lots of ways to pay way less taxes than you would in a 9-5. So if a SSNL player is pulling 50k/year from the tables, it might be the equivelant of someone making 60-65k a year at a regular job.

I think at 200NL, it is certainly possible, but I would not want to do it.

You may pay less taxes, but poker does not offer health, dental, or a retirement plan, so that may be awash.
