Making a living off One Tables

[MrShawn2U]

I am just curious, as I know there are lots of people who make thier living of online poker on these boards. Do you think playing tournaments, mostly 1-2 table formats, can allow you to make money? Or do you think playin cash games is better?

I've found that the easiest way to win at poker is to put your entire bankroll on to one table and go all in every hand preflop.

[MrShawn2U]

Yeah, id bet you do very well that way. Any real players have anything to say here?

[kyro]

Yes, you can make money.

I suggest using the search function near the top of the page. You should be able to find some decent threads on ROI, expected rate, and such.

One tables by a mile. Spend one hour every two years winning a higher step, spend the remaining time on a beach in Thailand.

You think the OP wasn't able to figure that out? You think that makes your post any less worthless as an answer to his question?

I don't think the right way to start out here is as a tool, but that's just me.

i think this is a terrible, terrible post.

most players who make a living do so by grinding out regular winnings day-by-day, not by going for the big win.

[mosdef]

you can make a living either way. hunt for ROI threads for SNGs and go over to the cash-game forums and look for win rate threads to get a feel for how much you can expect to win per hour played IF you study and get good.

are you thinking of going pro? concerned about whether it's a realistic idea?

Sample bias. Most people here are gonna say STT. Find your own way or poll a larger audience.

Oh, and go all in every hand with your whole BR. I like that strategy too.
