If you are so sorry about it, why not just go back and edit your original post instead of writing a new one to apologize?

Re: NL 1/2 Making a living?
 

I played 1-2 live for a living for about a year before I started playing internet poker. My overhead was small and I was young and single, so it wasn't that difficult. I payed my rent upfront(6 months) and started with a bank roll of 5k. I did play some 2-5 when the game was good but, 90% was at 1-2. It was a great life experience and i would recommend it for that reason. However with rakeback and multitabling the internet is far more profitable. If the internet dies i will be out in vegas as well. Good luck!

Thanks all for the tips. Wasn't expecting to be answered. I plan to start all of this in September. From now on, I'll just continue to build my online bankroll as well as my live one.

As for the blog, it's a very interesting idea...

C ya all.

how much did you make in those 6 months?

Re: NL 1/2 Making a living?
 

U can make a decent earn an hour in the game , i dont know maybe 15-20 bux, but then u build ur bankroll up and move higher. I started playin for a living 10-20 limit in 2002 prolly makin about 25 or 30 but then i built up my bankroll and play as high as 150-300/ 200-400. Tstone MBD started at 1-2 NL and now plays as high as 500-1000.

People on this board always think "turning pro" is a dumb decision, but if ur dedicated enuff u can do it. Id say give it a shot, i wouldnt trade my job for anything and have been very successful. Although there are a lot of pitfalls u can fall into, blackjack, partying sportbetting etc... if ur good enuff ( and 5/100bb is) then id say go for it . I know a great NL player earn back to back 30k months in 5-10 and now plays as high as limits as there is.

For the year I made 50-60k, I had a roomate who also played and he made over 100k. He did play a bit more 2-5 though.(he also has a 20k month) I never had a losing month becaue I was playing a low variance style.(NIT) I know its not alot of money but it was fun, no resposibilities, low stress. I was fortunate to run good early which obv. helped.

Re: NL 1/2 Making a living?
 

Ur post just motivates me even more now. I can't thank you enough. I'm very dedicated and serious about that and I think I can avoid the aforementioned pitfalls, hehe. I'll just build my live bankroll now so that I will be ready in case of a slow start when September comes.

Thanks for your comments, big boost there.

I am glad my post was helpful, feel free to pm me wtih any future qestions. Also stay out of the pit/sportsbook. I did see a lot of winning poker players go bust because of their non poker leaks. good luck
