Default Question For The Pros

If you make your living playing poker, I'm guessing you play the high stakes tables. Most of the people playing these tables know each other, and if someones consistently losing at these tables they would probably play at lower limits. Who does your money come from, if you play with the same people all the time? Sorry if this question's already been asked, I couldn't find a post relevant to it though.

just because someone is consistently playing doesnt mean they are winning, also some players will multitable lower limits with success and lose money when they try to move up, so in a sense these lower limit players can somewhat fund the higher limit games.

Everyday there are new people 'taking a shot' at the big tables. Those gamblers who want to play the big game, or the small times who are tilting.

Really? Is it totally out of the question to even dream of multitabling for a living at the 600nl tables? This is what I would play if I went pro. Everyone seems to grind limit but is NL just too risky cause of variance to plan a living on? Even with a 50 x buyin bankroll? What is the biggest downswing in terms of buyins anyone has had playing normal/good/tiltfree poker with just plain horrible luck losing set over set or kk vs aa etc.?

yeah especially multitabling at lower limits its basically nut peddling and waiting for solid edges, theres alot less variance than in limit where its impossible to consistently get your money in as a very big favorite

Well, I imagine when Sklansky's NL book comes out we'll see some stats, but this isn't just my opinion here.
