How many hands do you play per month. If it's anything less than 50,000, feel free to give an explanation as to why you play the amount that you play.

I suggest answering in the following format:

1. # hands played/mo.

2. game/stakes that you play

3. any additional information that you deem as helpful in explaining your work-load/habits.

Thought maybe I should clarify "FULL TIME:"

- you depend on poker as your MAIN source of income.
- you don't have another job that takes up any significant amount of time durring the week and/or month.

Playing 50,000 hands a month would drive me insane, and broke shortly thereafter. About half that is all I can handle.

I played 45,000 hands of 5/10 and 10/20 SH last month. I was either 4 or 5 tabling most of the time. And I played a LOT. There is no way I could avg. over 50,000 a month unless I would, at least, 6 table SH.

I play about 15,000 hands a month (about 500 per day) of PLO between $25 and $100. I am a full time student. With bonii and rakeback I net about $2k per month.

i play however many i feel like ( 20k-50k ) of 6-8 tabling 5/10 and 10/20 a month. i have very little in terms of expenses and a large amount saved up so i haaven't really been worried financially in a while.

20-25K when I played 3/6 and 5/10 SH LH. I've switched to $100-$400 PLO now, and that's a slower game, so it'll be a little less now.

About 30-40% of my income is bonus whoring.

I get through about 10-15k hands a month, 3 tabling short handed games from 10-20 to 30-60. Playing larger amounts than that drives me nuts.

i play ~20,000 hands a month at 10/20-20-40. workload is fine and I enjoy poker as a full-time job.

Yeah for me 50K hands/mo would be very hard because I'm pretty anal about table selection. I get about half that many in, and play about 4-5 tables of 15-30/20-40 for a couple hours each day.
