Limit holdem.

Say you win 2 bigbets per 100 hands and you play 50 hands per hour.
That gives you 1 bigbet per hour.
If you play 8 hours a day that gives you 8 bigbets per day.
That gives you 240 bigbets per month.

If bigbet is $0.10 that gives you $24 per month.
If bigbet is $1 that gives you $240 per month.

If you are a beginner and follow SSHE you should be able to beat the $0.10 game, but you'll need more experience and study of SSHE to beat the $1 game.

You can see that to be a professional you need to play at higher stakes than the small stakes.

Some people multi-table and use PokerTraker with a Hud together with bonus whoring and can make a lot more than $240 per month at th $1 bigbet game.

How many bigbets per hour you make over the long term (10k hands or more) is a good measure of you skill. If you get PokerTracker you can learn much more about your playing skill.

Good Luck (what ever that is!)
