Making $150/day playing poker

[housenuts]

How easy do you think it is to average $150/day playing poker? Obviously if you play higher stakes then you can make that in one big bet. For a student of the game, and someone willing to learn, how long do you think it would take them to be able to make this much per day? What do you think would be the best way to accomplish this goal would be?

You can do this easily playing a crapload of hands at .5/1 or NL 25.

I don't think easily is the right word for .5/1.00. If you made 3 bb/100 you'd have to play 5K hands a day. I'm not sure that 3BB/100 or 5k hands a day is an easy thing much less both. Achievable? Probably. Easy? No.

Yeah, 80 table hours in a day would be a feat as a one off - let alone regularly.

[Robk]

it depends, how smart are you?

Similarly, read and post in the SNG forum and play $10+1 sit-n-goes on Party and you should easily make this if you play a crapload, especially if you are able to move up to the 20s and 30s.

Play 40 $10+1 SNGs a day. Four-tabling, that's about 5-6 hours of work. If you can sustain a ~30% ROI with ~45% ITM, you're where you want to be. This is far from impossible in the $10+1 games. Hang out in the 1-Table Tournament forum for clues.

However, you will be playing a very VERY boring game. It's also easier then you think to go on tilt, when variance puts a foot in your ass after 20 games and you have 20 more left in your quota.

The $20+2 game is hardly different from the $10+1 game. Move up as soon as your bankroll permits it.

I agree, patiently sitting for hours on end playing "idiots" poker(them, not you) at 10+1 on party or ultimate bet could make this a daily win...

better to ask this question in terms of hours
