Making a living at the microstakes limit holdem online
 

Hi,

is it possible to make a living at these stakes online and if so what would you reccommend as a good way to do it.

An eample of what i mean would be to say you play 4 tables at X/X stakes and play until you've made 1 times the amount you started with. Or maybe play 2 tables at X/X stakes and play for 6 hours a day?

I'm just researching what would be the best way to do this and if anyone would care to share how they go about it.

thanks

Simon

i wouldn't even try it at micro stakes. you wont be able to make a decent ammount of money till you hit 3/6. of course, it depends on your standard of living.

why would you want to anyway? after a few months, you will wind up hating poker.

Back in the glory days of Party I would 5 table and it was fairly rare to make 100 bucks or more in a session, that was .50/1 for 3-4 hours. Granted, I sucked, but I can't imagine that I sucked so much that someone could consistently make that much at those stakes in less time. Play the game because you like it not because you want to eat.

BBB did it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But, then, BBB is an especially talented player with years of experience behind him.

My goal is to make 3k a month playing poker at one point. Considering I have made 3k in 2.5 years playing micros for 175k hands, and discounting learning curve and getting to $1 stakes, calculating rakeback (which isn't included in my first numbers) and assuming the same 3bb/100 winrate I would need to play about 100k hands a month.


25k hands a week, 5k a day at 100 hands/hour at 6 max means I need to play 5 tables at a time for 10 hours a day. If I play 7 days a week I could cut it to possibly 4 tables 8 hours a day.

I think 60 hours of micro poker week in week out would drive anyone nuts.

I think it's quite possible to live off your microstakes winnings it just depends on where you live. Move to ethiopia and you might have a chance...

i did it at 1/2 - 3/6 online but i played a lot and bonus whored a lot and my living expenses were pretty low. i hope to write about it in my 5k post (on bigbadbabar) pretty soon. i'd say it's pretty much not feasible at this point though. feel free to pm me for more info.
