i think this is a terrible, terrible post. most players who make a living do so by grinding out regular winnings day-by-day, not by going for the big win. [/ QUOTE ] meh, he was trying to be funny. he failed, miserably.

Re: Making a living off One Tables
also, $25/hr is plenty to live on if you dont have wife/kids/mortgage.
In a 40hr/week setting, thats $50k/yr, and those of us who play SnG as sole source of income find no problems in greatly surpassing 40hr/wk. Not saying everyone does, but if you needed a few extra hundred bucks a week, it would be no great strain to put in a 50hr week, or even 60hr week. Its no great strain sitting on your ass in front of a computer. Edit: I dunno about iceland. Maybe you need more $ even without big finanical obligations, maybe you *should* move to one of those "cheaper" countries. Wanna come to Argentina with me?

Re: Making a living off One Tables
I would be the first to admit I am not ready to go pro, but in the future maybe. But yes I am wondering how realistic it might be. I dont know if online poker is a viable way to make a living?

[/ QUOTE ] It's pretty simple really. lEV = h * hr - expenses h is hours/mo you're willing to play (like 20 for me...yes, 20 per month). hr is hourly rate, expenses are...expenses. And lEV is your EV of living for the month. If it's positive, go pro. If it's negative, get a job.

Re: Making a living off One Tables
It's all poker, if you play it better than the others you make money. Personally I get bored, so I go through phases. Sometimes I will play only sng's for a month, or only limit, only nl ring, etc. Sometimes I mix it up and change constantly. Once a year or so I will decide to learn a new game, omaha h/l was the last one, pot limit omaha may be the next one.
Lately all I've wanted to do is play MTT's, which I've been doing 2 to 4 at a time, 5 to 10 hours a day. The last few days have been really frustrating, with lots of chip lead then just miss the final table's happening. So, I'll probably play some sng's for a couple day's, or clear that party bonus at 5/10 limit. The point is, you can make a living at any of it, you just have to put in the hours and play well. Saying I could make 10% more at limit (true) is pointless, because after a while I'm so bored with it my hours a week drop a ton. There's always something else I'd rather do once it gets too boring. I play whatever interests me at the time and try to get 30 to 40 hours a week, playing when I'm reasonable fresh and interested. If i do that the money takes care of itself. Steve
