Listen - I have made 22K (pounds) so far this year fom poker - around 40K dollars. My last job paid 16K a year. Wages in Northern Ireland are not very high but the cost of living is low. By playing poker I also get generous state benefits which takes my annual income to far more than I could earn in a proper job.
I can usually make 200-300 a day easily but not anymore.
Here is the final hand that I will ever play on Full-Tilt
