Re: anyone making a living from SSNL?
Wow, it's funny how many people want to be/are teachers here. I think that given poker has no benefit to society, a teacher is an ideal profession if you want to have a feeling of self worth, and poker is perfect because teachers get paid [censored].

Also, that's the whole plan, I'd be very greatful if this continued for just 2 more years, I will have made enough to put myself through the rest of college.

Re: anyone making a living from SSNL?
What's all this talk about 8pm to 4pm !?
There are more players logged on to PartyPoker at 2pm then there are at 3am. You absolutely do not have to start working in the after-dinner hours. I think one could perfectly justify a 2pm-6pm, 7pm-11pm workday.

Re: anyone making a living from SSNL?
[ QUOTE ]
Just because you cant doesnt mean others can. I've been playing 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the past 4 months. Before that I was averaging 90-100 hours a month. I went pro in march. The hours are easier and easier to put in as the months go on. If mortals cant play that much poker...maybe me (and quite a few others) are just immortal? [/ QUOTE ] well if you actually are doing that, im not sure to congratulate you or what... i cant imagine myself being happy while living a life like that. most of my point was that people take a hourly rate from a month of playing, multiply it by a lot of hours, and decide that is how much they could win in a year. usually this gives them a number that is way off because there is so much variance and it is much harder than it sounds to play 5+ hours a day. right now i play poker on a very part time basis, 15-20 hours a week tops. i have other stuff to do, and make more than enough to have a ton of money to spend doing that. if youve read any of sklanskys "happiness EV" stuff that basically describes my approach. maybe ive got too much going in other areas to play poker 8 hours a day. probably because i'd kill myself if i did.

i dunno how anyone could play ssnl as a full-time job id stab myself within the first week [/ QUOTE ] I quit my job and started going to graduate school full-time. I have been trying to play enough poker to pay my mortgage, etc . . . I pretty much hate poker [and life] every 3rd week when I hit a 4-5 buy-in downswing. I used to think the idea of pro poker player would be cool . . . these days I consider just taking the extra $2-3k/month in student loans and playing poker for fun when I feel like it. But I don't handle variance as well as many I suppose.
