Re: 1/2 limit as a job
I actually tried this a long time ago. I was doing very well (over 3bb/100) but you'll never be able to move up in limits because you'll constantly be withdrawing from your winnings to pay the bills. I now have a job and grind 1/2 and 2/4 and I make some good money on the side ( with a nice MTT every now and then). Keep your day job and make the extra money on the side til you're ready to move up in limits. 1/2 is just way too small. Save up and at least play 2/4...

Re: 1/2 limit as a job
Well I did thatlast year for around 3 or 4 months and constantly taking shots at higher limits with success. Getting in 600 hands an hour. A 30% rakeback at 1/2 is around 3$ per hour ( 1.5 BB ) so you'll make around 18$ an hour only in rakeback if you can 6 table. I just need to mention two things.
1- My winrate at 1/2 was around 3BB/100 over a 120k database before doing this, so I was making way more than 18$ per hour 2- I live in France so basically I was making as much as an engineer makes here almost only from rakeback and a 1BB/100 winrate.

Re: 1/2 limit as a job
[ QUOTE ]
$4000/ 41600 hands = 9.62 cents/hand or 4.7 BB/100. [/ QUOTE ] Where did that 4000$ come from? He said 1000$ for a starter a month. Build up living expenses for at least 3 months before you quit your job. Don't think you can get in 160 hours a month month after month. It is not doable. 100 hours is a good amount. You need to study(poker) at least 50 hours a month too to progress. I do at least and it is working well.

Re: 1/2 limit as a job
How the hell could one not live off of 4 tabling 3/6? If all one needs is 1000 or so a month? All I spend a month is $500. Anyway it just seems like most of you need $2000 + a month to live or something? I live in a closet in a house with 8 people and just go down to the campus and play on my laptop for free. I just sold a lot of stuff and am going to start doing just this (2/4 or 3/6 FR that is).
