This is actually a topic that interests me. What stakes do you think you would have to play in order to be a decent online player. I remember a person on 2+2 that was playing 3/6 4 tabling for a living.I mean if you play 2/4 and play 10k hands a week at 2BB/100 = 800 bucks a week so play 12k hands and there ya go.for the pros out there how many hands do you like to put in a week?

if you 4 table the short handed limit games and get in anywhere from 1200-2K hands a day 5 days a week, 1K a week isn't hard

ive never had a job, in three years at uni. i always played poker for money. but it was more play poker and get money as a by product. i always spent it on booze and having fun.if i go broke, i go broke, its happened a few times and i scrape around.will be worse when i have to pay rent, cos im going to have to move out cos me and parents dont see eye to eye.my biggest win to date is 100 rebuy on ladbrokes, 12000. i paid off credit cards, 6k, and got drunk ALOT.ive got a system where i can play hu sn goes on stars and almost guarantee i can make 1000 in about three days. but i have to play and concentrate extremely hard for about 3 days str8.i think theyres so much money in hi lo.so im goin got play that at 1 2 and try and play very tight and make 1000 a week.i was talking to a player on stars who has seen me playing and says i could EASILY make 1000 a week playing hi lo. he seems to do more than alright.i hate it whjen people say, espescially pro's, dont do this, get a job. like they can moralise.i know what an insane game it is. and that you can go broke but im prepared to deal with it as i have done before.if it fails after 6 months.. ill get a job.whatcha think?

it really depends on what you're looking for. i'm sure 40-50 hrs/wk of 4-tabling 3/6 is fine for some, but it does get terribly boring playing limits that can be dominated by relatively robotic play. if you're really in it for a living long-term, you're going to need to mix things up and improve to keep yourself interested (this isn't a blanket statement, but it applies to most people). 1k a week can be done a ton of ways--4 tabling 3/6, 10/20 live, 2-tabling 5/10 LO/8, tournaments, whatever--but it requires a ton of mental fortitude to really play for 40 hrs every week. i found that out last summer, and i'm not planning on going pro until i'm sure that i can beat at least 4 different types of games (still need to work on my NL cash game, i think) for at least 1-2k/wk.but just remember, also, that you're not going to be raking in 1k a week. you'll be getting 5k some weeks, losing 4k in others, etc. it ain't a smooth ride.

I put in around 25 hours per week of 3 or 4-tabling. When I play NL, I play 2/4 and 3/6. I'd say I can reasonably expect to make $1,500-$2,000 per week. If you're a decent enough player and play it as a part-time job, I think $1,000 per week is reasonable playing 1/2 and 2/4 NL.

k, I do do this for a living, and the way you go about life is a recipe for disaster in trying to play pro. I've been playing for years now and only started doing the full time thing last october. The amount of money that you are starting off with is pittance and you are basically praying to the varience gods. What you should really do is have a job for at least a year and build up extra money via that while playing online to see how much of a winner you are. You should also curb the drinking and don't come up with a "system". I personally do do a fair amount of drinking, but that seems to be an emphasis for you, and from where I'm sitting, you come across more as a degenerate then someone who has a winning plan

yeah I think you need 6 months of living expenses and probably 600BB-1000BB to be on the safe side.I am looking at like 30k

lol, thanksim not a degenerate at all, i never play drunk. im a student so naturally im going to be drinking.i understand your opinion/cooments though. and i DO understand that i am actually praying to the varience gods with $400.but i can usually parlay $40 into $400 quite fast. so i think ill be able to tak e a few shots till i get to $2000, and that should be enough if i can avoid a sig down swing, to play NL 1 2... specially as in hi lo and omaha hi, there is not as much variance, imo, as NL holdem. cos theyre more about the nuts.i also think im a rational person, and definitely believe i have them ental fortitude to play at least 40 hours a week.i think people are very critical in this kind of sitaution. i have no kids, no responsibility. im 22. im living life and having fun no matter what, so i see know reason if i beleive im good enough to take a shot.ui see no rerason for the negativity, unless your trying to give m,e a sharp awakening, which im not sure your doing anyweay, as your comments are negative in the first place, therefore i would assume youwere a more negative/pessimistic than positive... therefore why would you be giving me advice. i cant imagine that people that call a young student having fun a degenerate, really want to help him in any way.

[TheWatchMan 0]

On a serious note its sounds like you dont have a grasp on BR management. 1000 is really not much in the big picture if you want to play for a living. You managed to luck out and catch a heater with your initial 30 dollars DO NOT continue to move up in limits or YOU WILL go broke. Now that you have a nice roll to start from imo you should not be playing above 1-2 [limit] i like to use 500 BB for your limit you could probably get by with a bit less but imo the standard 300 is not enough for online play especially if your multi tabling. dont drink while playing ...

i think that what kdawg is getting at is that it takes a LOT of responsibility and preparation to really go pro full time. if you're committed to gambling (and yes, it remains gambling no matter how good you are) for a living, you need to REALLY prepare yourself. that means 6-12 months of expenses saved up, very distinct plans in terms of playing time, etc., and a very, very large bankroll. i think what kdawg was saying is that your posts thus far haven't indicated that kind of preparation.me, for instance: i've been playing semi-professionally for 2 years now, making significantly more than 1k/wk on average, and i am still not committed to going entirely professional. i still worry about my stamina with respect to long sessions and tilting (i don't like that i still have to take the occasional 2 weeks off to right myself after a bad run, and i have trouble pulling off more than 17 hours at a great live table to be at), and i don't have enough saved up to really make a go at it.what kdawg's saying--and he's right--is that when it comes to making a choice to GAMBLE for a living, one had better take as many precautions as possible, and your posts don't really indicate that you're doing that.

thanks pro, good advice.thing is im gonna be playing NL and PLand im not planning on moving up. but if your gonna be playing, you may aswell play 1 2 for me.until i get 2000$ im not concerned about BR management. when i hit 2k, i think playin 1 2 it would take a serious downswing to lose it playing omaha, seeing as its nuts orientated.when i have 2k i will think about BR management. what youh vae to understand is atm i dont care about security and stuff. when i have about 2k ill try and ensure i wont go broke.i also hate throwing out all this honesty to the lions, i cant take it!

[profxavier9 0]

get a job stay under mom and dads roof until you have 20kish...

ack, maybe you can nut peddle at 1/2, but o/8 is a much more complicated game than nut peddling if you want to maximize your profit.

when i have 2k i will think about BR management. what youh vae to understand is atm i dont care about security and stuff. when i have about 2k ill try and ensure i wont go broke.

then you're not playing professionally--you're just playing for fun and extra money. that's fine, and nothing to be discouraged unless you're really trying to eventually become like the guys you see on tv.

F uckit - you have no bills and no responsibilities. I say hang your balls out, sit with your whole roll if you have to; take a shot.If you go bust & have to move back in with ma & pa, so be it - that's a ten thousand dollar story.After that, you can learn to type and get a real job and take up golf like the rest of us.
