Possible?

So let's say I have played online and won from stakes as high As NL400, Could I make a living starting at 2/4 or 3/6 LimiT with a 3K bankroll, planning on playing 16 hours everyday until I learn reads and tells then move up to the Nl games once I hit 6k. ( I know people gonna say 18 hours a day is impossible right? I did it for over a year built a 100$ roll into 20grand got involved in drug's and blew a bankroll it's been a year ready to play again just live. My rent is 250$ and I woudnt drive far, my car is paid off and I dont see many outgoing expenses then gas that takes me 4 minutes to get to laughlin casino's.

My other question are, are these low stakes beatable due to the rake.
This is a serious life change to pursue my dream I just need to know if it's possible. So basically If I could make 1000$ profit in these low stakes monthly. I did the math it would require me to average a $2.25 cent profit each hour. Is this possible Im not familair with casino play? I know you might say 2$ is so cheap why not go get a job? Because I dont consider this work and I would be playing 16 hours a day 4 free and I know once I get the roll up I can beat these NL 2/4 games and make some serious money with the dedication I have to this game.

Looking forward to some knowledegable replies.

You just had one thread locked and you intentionally start another one of the same kind? You're getting banned, lol.

More importantly, how much will you be tipping the dealer?

Playing 16hrs/day will leave you w/ 6hrs max to sleep. I'm guessing you're very young and figure you can do it. Still, after 3 weeks max you're going to be a zombie and if you don't turn into a zombie I guess you're one already.

If you can handle those hours just get 2 jobs for $10/hr @ like at Starbucks and McDonald's or something.

And now I'm wondering why I even responded to this post.

Wait, this is your dream? I play online for a living and I think vegas games are eaiser from what i've seen. The 2-5 NL games are a joke and even the 5-10 can be really good at times. I dont think I could be a live pro though do to the bordom of not multi tabling.

Although 3k$ is a bit short...I think it could be worth the risk to start at 1/2 NL...which is really beatable, whatever rake/tip there is. I know 2/4 limit is a loose passive tourists game. You sure have an edge to beat the game like you mention...but it's gonna take longer to build your roll.

I share your dream btw, which you can see in a post I made recently : NL 1/2 Making a living?
