People survive on minimum wage and other low paying jobs. I think you could make a living playing 3/6 to 5/10 limit if you're willing to put in the hours. I think it would be a horrible job but possible. Maybe fun for a year of your life after school, but after that...

Yeah, who would want a job where you sit on your ass all day, indoors, guzzle free beer all day, work flexible hours, watch tv if you want, get a free lunch included, have no boss to report to, have the ability to move to another workplace if you don't like your "co-workers", and can never be fired?

Sounds like pure hell.

How long have you been playing poker? If I had to support myself on live poker and was playing 5-10 limit I'd go nuts, you're better off being a waiter or something. Seriously, it would be so stressful.

[/ QUOTE ]How is live poker stressful? I've played online poker for 3 years for a living, and I can understand how 12 tabling 8 hours a day can be VERY stressful. However, I'm just now making the transition to live game pro and I've noticed no stress at all. Obviously it sucks to lose money at times, but you're basically just sitting around, drinking, watching tv, talking, folding a bunch of hands, and playing one hand that requires a litte thought every 15 minutes or so.

I'd find it pretty damn stressful if I was playing for a living. I hate downswings now, I can't even imagine the stress I'd have if I needed that money.
