Re: Going to try playing live 1/2 for a living....
I appreciate your more positive outlook, but what makes you so sure on this? Do you or someone you personally know make this much at this game?

Re: Going to try playing live 1/2 for a living....
when i used to play the foxwoods 1/2 almost exclusively, i used to make this much. and i dont think that im very good.
also, you dont need as big a roll as people are saying for this game. the variance is smaller than in limit... you can EASILY win 4 out of 5 times (depending on your style of play). unless you have a lot of living expenses... as long as youre paid up on your bills, $4k sounds about good. dont listen to pseudo-bragging idiots who claim $50k/yr isnt a livable wage. it should go without saying that if it sounds good to you for whatever reasons, then itll work for you personally. and the best tip i could ever give anyone for these lowlevel NL games is two words... LIMP RERAISE.

Re: Going to try playing live 1/2 for a living....
on a side note....
when i would play the fox 10/20 limit sometimes, i would often find myself playing with 2 or 3 late 20s pros. i would always be amazed how they would talk down about the 1/2 nl (which, of course, they never played). amongst a lot of midlevel limit players, the 1/2 games are thought of as somewhat of a joke... a kiddy game. they would get excited when theyd scoop a nice $180 pot, and then claim theres no money whatsoever in the 1/2. they would look over at some total dumbass with $1200 in chips in front of him and say "the charge is just way too much". it still amazes me to this day
