Matt24 said:Yeah, there is such a thing, many people are doing it right now. I'm making a great living for a 23 year old right now at the time being. I dont really know what most pros make, I know one guy who pulled 60k in last month from the 15-30 game. My goal for this year was to make $100,000 and so far I should hit that easily, so that should give you an idea of how this can be I play 8-10 games at a time and have rakeback at all and get back over 3k a month just in rake alone(this should be more like 5-6k this month), plus there is another few hundred in bonuses plus I have signed up a few people under me as their affiliate, so I'm getting around 4k each month guaranteed. Without rakeback, this job wouldnt nearly be as appealing, it adds so much security. Most of the pros are playing bigger games than me, I've been griding out 3-6 while playing some 5-10 and 20-40 at a smaller site. I also played some 15-30 for a while(swings too nuts for me right now), but now just moved up to 5-10 pretty much as my main "Party" game. Last month was my best month online and I added a 4th place finish in a World Poker Classic event to seal it as a huge month for me. I made this choice back in September and so far its been a great choice but I would say its not for many. I have a super amount of discipline and I would say that is the #1 thing you need to make this work. I always get in my hours.

Fishhead said:I think by exclusively keeping my mindset geared to NO LIMIT, it has aided my game significantly.
QuickLearner said:I'm sure that you are correct. The transition is harder than most people think. I consider no limit hold'em a completely different game from limit. I plan on learning how to beat it but don't really have the time to devote to the task. Maybe I'll start next winter.
