Default Re: NL 1/2 Making a living?

Yeah, the issue here is going to be win rate and financial security. Presumably you can learn to beat the game for some about fairly quickly since 1) 1/2 NL is soft and 2) You've already put in time online.

However, be aware the 5BB/100 @ live 1/2NL translates to about $2.50 per hour, which is absurdly insuficient. You're going to need more like 45BB/100 to support yourself. That's a pretty quantum leap in how well you'll need to be able to play the game. Being a whitechip "pro" sucks, man. If you want to make your living playing NL, I think you need a realistic plan to be playing 5/10 as quickly as possible.

Seccond, do you have a sufficient roll to cover this? Can you have several losing sessions AND pay you monthly nut in Vegas, and still be sufficiently rolled to continue playing?
