Hey Buzz:

$500/day? Yoikes! Let's just put it this way:

1. I was making $16/hr working for the man (and was one of the higher paid in my company)

2. I have a wife and neither of us has plans for children

3. I can live comfortably on $500-$1000/week, but I'm fairly frugal

I don't really earn my living playing live O8, since Foxwoods only seems to have the 4/8 with half-kill going and I'd probably like something a bit higher than that.

But online, where I can play 2-4 tables of 10/20 or 15/30, that's just fine.

Earning just 2bb/100 hands means I can make $40-$60/hr fairly easily, which sure as hell beats $16/hr, even if you factor in health insurance and such (plans are to get a high deductible health plan for emergencies, and pay for any of the smaller stuff)

I've been fortunate that last month I made $50/hr and this month I'm doing over $100/hr. If I can continue to consistantly earn $50-$100/hr playing at this level, that would be great. I can pay off our debts and get the hell out of Taxachusetts (where a nice home typically costs 300-400K) and get us down to North Carolina and get a nice home for 150-250K instead.
