Re: Which Format is Best for Going Pro? (Online and B&M)
SNG's = limited liability - possible to make a living
MTT's = very hard way to make money without sponsorship
Cash limit = "bread and butter" poker i.e., big game at Bellagio with all the top Pros playing $4k - $8k -- like work, a long hard grind
Cash PL/NL 9/10 handed = bigger bankroll swings and very profitable if you can keep a cool head and play a little more conservatively
Cash PL/NL 5/6 handed = more hands per hour = even greater profitability - need to be more aggressive and bluff more
Short handed PL/NL is probably the hardest variant here, but the most profitable. To play in these games successfully, you need to be able to LOSE to win big. If you're afraid to put all your money in the pot with a "stone cold bluff", then forget these games.
