Thanks appreciate it. I know the average ROI should be around 20% for a good player I was just wondering if this level was attainable. I also play live cash about 5 times a week so I have a live bankroll also which helps. Thanks.

20%? Times gone by. 10% would be good for you, and you really need to up your games if you want to make a living. 1000 a month at 10% at $33 = $3,300 per month = not a good living unless you live in Peru!

Seriously, read everything here, all the stickies and poobah posts. This is not an easy life, but GL.

I can take 3300 a month to live off of. I am a 23 year old single guy who lives in Lake Tahoe in a house with 3 Guys. Our rent is only 350 a month. Thats why I decided to take a shot now. I was at a job making about 400 a week and made more playing poker on the side. So I have been doing it full time now for almost 2 months. Before this I had been playing SNG in college and also lived in Las VEgas last year and played a TON. That also helped my game out. Well see how things go but im doing good so far. Keep track of me on sharkscope well see how I do. Ill keep posting on here alot more it is a very helpful website. Thanks for the input. GRIND.

Noodleman: " I'm aware of how bad a 100 buyin downswing is."

In sept/early oct I had a 100 BI downswing too. I reviewed a lot of HHs and played the majority of hands fairly well, with some exceptions... I attribute it somewhat to the games getting tougher, weaker game selection, being unaware of new regulars and ppl calling me extremely light.

My favorite part is his first post claims he's been pro for 4 months. Now it's 2.

Also for those saying he should be happy with 10%, I think he's playing a minimal number of tables and not playing turbos. 20ish% should definitely be achievable.
