Making $150/day playing poker

[thatpfunk]

With a bankroll of $1k

Party $50nl 6max
Reasonable wr 5bb/100 (PT bbs) = $10/100 hands

4 tabling= ~300 hands per hour

5 hours per day to avg $150

5bb/100 is very, very attainable for a semi-decent player

(it is a boring, boring grind. i vote for a part-time easy/fun environment job and poker on the side)

People, he's asking for $150 per day, not hour.

I was able to do this by playing .5/1 limit and NL 25 after one month of playing by playing 1k-2k hands / day. It's not that difficult although it is quite boring.

I'm interested in how you can earn $150 playing 1-2k hands of 0.5/1? I make it that you would need to average at least 7.5 BB/100!

Looking at this as someone who aspires to winning at this rate, I cannot see doing so sustainable playing below 5/10. To average $150 at 3/6 would involve many hours playing many tables - very tedious. At 2BB/100 it would require 1250 hands a day. Possible, of course. Enjoyable, hell no.

People interested in making 'serious' money through poker generally aren't concerned with how enjoyable it is.

It's a grind.

How is playing 4hour hours a day of poker a grind?
Maybe its tiring if you have a job- which I dont, but tiring is different than boring.
I really dont remember the last time I played less than 40 hours of poker in a week

Ok I looked over my September stats where I was primarily grinding it out at .5/1 limit and NL 25 on Party / Paradise. I was apparently on a good run (plus bonuses):

NL 0.25 15.7k hands @ 11.55BB/100
NL 0.50 4k hands @ 13.72BB/100
Limit .5/1 9.4k hands @ 5.4BB/100

If you cut those numbers by half, that's still a decent amount of money. I truly appreciate being able to play poker because my previous job was much more of a grind.

Online poker requires you sitting in front of a computer all day and pressing buttons, it's not that bad.

I would never suggest that it's particularly hard work.
But once you start playing a lot, you realy aren't doing it for fun anymore.

When I want to have fun playing poker, I play $5 SNGs with friends. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Great post!

To learn the game and do it over the summer, would be quite a challenge, especially considering every day op will sort of be playing on scared money.

Go to school and get a good education. Then you can make much more than $150/day and be doing something productive. Hell, you might even meet someone and start a family, buy a boat and go wakeboarding. Maybe you can take your family on luxury cruises while on vacation, or explore the arts and fine wine in your community. There's so much to do, why worry about just $150/day?

Don't forget to bonus whore!

$150 a day sounds easy when you are running good. Once you hit a losing streak though (especially at low limits), it becomes very hard.
