Default $15 sit and go\'s pokerstars- way to make a living

I was just wandering if anyone has any advice on making a living 8-tabling $15 pokerstars (turbo) tables. Ive been doing to for about a week and overall i place in about 1 in 3. But i think i can do this for the rest of the year earning at least what i would in some labouring job 8am-5pm although i am fully aware that a week is nothing to go by but i usually feel i am the best player at the table and I NEVER tilt (-:.

I do not pay tax on my winnings as I just transfer my winnings to a friend who pays me cash for them.

So if keep at it will i drive myself crazy or be happily smug for not having to work for a living. I would be looking for a min of $10 proffit per hour.

p.s should i play on party poker instead and join a rake back program?

I wouldn't play $15 SNG's for a living.

If i were to take up doing it for a living it would be illegal yes,, but i know of many ways to avoid having to deposit money into my bank account and therefore don't need to pay tax or claim and if i do take up 8 tabling 15$ sit and go's as my source of income i will not be paying tax- which yes is kinda illegal.

What on earth does this have to do with trying to play low limit SNGs for a living?

This thread could get interesting.

earlecement,

wow a whole week! I'd recosider this whole thing until you've played a few hundred SNGs. You could be in for a big shock when that 30 buyin downswing that lasts for 500 SNGs hits.

Don't listen to the haters. You've stumbled onto a mini-goldmine.
