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.

I was advocating that. It would just increase variance because you were putting your roll at risk more. But it's the quickest way to double through. I can't believe how many guys would cold call my allin or pot bet for a 3 outer or less.......

Excellent post and great advice.

I remember reading someplace that you should have a bankroll of 15 buy in's for NL assuming you're a winning player.

[otter]

Some good advice, some bad advice. As far as the win percentage she was probably quoting 40% as a limit result. NL win rate should be much, much higher. At least Greenstein told me that...ahm, in his book (he was around 70% I think).

In addition the variance should be lower in NL than limit.

Wow thats amazing. I didnt know local burger joints paid above minimum wage, let alone gave benefits. I worked at a theater and the asst. managers barely made 2k a month, and this is in LA. Im curious where youre from. I may need to move.

Why would someone grind it out live for $35/hr?

If my online winrate starts dipping below $200/hr I start to get worried...

Hooray for you, pat yourself on the back a little bit more
