I'll be 20 tabling 10NL before I go back to a normal job.

Well, right now I multi-table $25 and $50 NL and I tend to get right around $20/hr. I think, like the first reply said, that NL 100 is right about where one can really start to make a decent wage though, like in the $30 to $40 per hour range.

My goal is the NL 200 games simply because I think that is the point after which the games have too many pros.

Find a live game and play 1/2 NL live you'll kill yourself quicker.

If you're young and still in college I think its fine but as for a real job playing $50nl thats a joke in my opinion. You'll barely make ends meet and it will get old quick.

if you think about it. a winning player could do fairly well multitabling. you can certainly be making more than 10 dollars an hour...more like 25-30 if you were just 6tabling.

if you dont have a family and put in 30 hours a week, youd be doing pretty alright.

To be able to pay a mortgage and bills and feed a family WHILE saving for investments would probably be considered a living in my opinion.

Yup, and it's important to note that although poker will always be about in some form, the game focus and texture will change, if you can't adapt you'll be made redundant.

I've seen the squeeze placed on low fixed limit players.
Many who were happy with 2k a month and didn't move on are now finding themselves in trouble.

NP making good money from limit providing you adapted.

NL will face different changes. When the TV boom subsides the constant influx of new plankton will dry up. Also weak players will ultimately tend to drift into other games. There has always been an underlying trend from NL to FL. Perhaps a new game will crop up for those who go broke too quick in NL, but the pressure to move is always there.

The games will not remain as soft as they are, so make sure you understand the underlying concepts well. When you do I don't think you'll be playing NL50

It depends on how many tables you play on. If only 1 then I wouldn't think it would be sustainable. Post stats.

I agree with you. I think the live game by me is exactly like NL 10 in terms of player quality but the time charge is lethal.
