Default Even if your an online pro....

How many years could you really do it for before burning out?

As a recreational player, the idea of multitabling for 8hrs a day has zero appeal for me, as it smacks of being a miserable existance.

I'm not a pro but I think a lot of them don't play for 8 hours a day.

I wonder how many hours an average winning live pro puts in...

No one plays 8 hrs a day long term. And if any, very few.

3hrs a day (averaged over 30 days) multitabling can put you up around 35-45k hands/month... more than enough for most pros.

Ever stare at a computer for 10 hours straight?

I could only imagine how long it could take!

I'm not a poker pro, but I stare at a computer for 10 hrs straight for my job and it's very true that there is only so much you can take.

Apparently, though, at least ten hours a day.

I do this 4 cdays a week anyhow working a support desk, and have done for the last 7 years. compared to dealing with the daily retards I see on the tech support desk everyday I reckon the life of a multitabling pro is pretty cushy. if I ever get good enough to beat the game for more than my current salary I'm out of there!
