I think you can make 2K a month at the 4/8 LHE games in vegas (avg 2 BB/hr @ 40 hours/week = 640/week

Nobody's true winrate in a live 4/8 limit game is really 2BB/hr.

and wtf you intend to live on 2k/month???? this isnt the 60's...a reasonable living is 6k/month...lets you eat pizza on weekends at least. Yes you can sleep in a culvert but seriously get a trade etc...

For a relatively young, single person with no dependants, 2k a month can be plenty in certain locales. Of course he said Vegas, and I think with a roommate it would be enough to live off of there too, with the huge meals you get for cheap prices and lower cost of living. Also there is the ability to improve your game and move up stakes to make more.
