[/ QUOTE ] I think this is pobabably correct, but this is not enough to make a living. You must remember you will need to
pay for all your benifits, i.e., health insurance, social security, and taxes. It would be better to get some sort of
job that would give you benifits, and play poker part time. Until you can move up to higher limits. Otherwise you are putting your security in jepordy.
A safe bankroll would be one that gave you say a 1% risk of ruin. Thus never bet more than 1% of your bankroll. What is your average Max bet at 1/2 No Limit? If its $50, I'd want a bankroll of $5K. You may be willing to acept a higher risk
of ruin, say 2% and uses as a bankroll of aprox $2.5K
with a maximum bet of $50. BTW theses are rough estimates.
Poker is tricky and it i hard to be precise.
