[Micturition Man]

Didn't really read the thread, but yes, you can make very good money (by real world standards) playing almost any form of online poker at fairly low limits.

The only qualifier I would add is that in my experience, almost nobody actually achieves the theoretical potential of low or mid-limit grinding. People basically just burn out before they can play 8 tables for 40 hours a week for a year.

But like I said the money is still good. Probably not nearly as good as pre-UIGA, but good enough.

I used to get into arguments about this on RGP several years ago in the early days of online poker and people would always try to throw a monkey-wrench into my figures.

I remember Andrew Prock used the weird a priori argument that "anyone who can make $300k a year playing online poker could make a lot more in the real world". I guess the implication was that nobody was making that much, and if they were they were just wasting their time anyway.

Ah fond memories.
