I play cash no limit (casino games, not online) pretty much exclusively, and I can honestly disagree with the OP almost entirely.

The swings are not that bad - if you are a pretty good player and can make good decisions in the marginal spots. If you can't, you will get chewed up in the games I play (usually 2/5, $500 max buyin).

The odds are hugely in my favor - I can get someone all in drawing to 20% or less roughly once every 4-5 hours on average. Yeah they'll hit sometimes, but I can fade the varience (as anyone who is playing professional or semiprofessional should). Anyone who is playing for income, by definition, is going to be playing enough hours to neutralize any individual hand's luck factor.

Also, you always want people to chase you down with their bad draws. I personally love it when my turn shoves are called by a flush draw - I'm making a ton of Sklansky Bucks/EV each and every time.

And also, you won't ever make a decent living playing microstakes. You need to be playing at least medium stakes games to make any sort of good living.
