Can it be done

[PShabi]

Well, every bonus possible is listed at . I really don't think many "pros" are bonus whoring for a living though. I could be wrong.

I know if I played 450 hands / day at 5/10 6-max. I'd "only" make 28k if I was winning at 2bb/100.

Have you ever played 8 hours in one day? Doing it 5 days a week for 52 weeks out of the year would make me want to kill myself. Not to mention, I'd have to by a new wardrobe to fit my fat ass from all the weight gain.

First thing you need to do, is figure out how much you have to make to live. Compare that to the limits you play and find out what your winrate would have to be over how many hours.

Also, in addition to bonus whoring (or maybe instead of, depending on your limits) I would look to set up rakeback accounts at sites I have not played at before. Rakeback + bonus is available at sites like FT, UB, Interpoker, etc.

The last thing in the world I would want to try to do is to break into "professional" poker as a tourney player. A long drought and the added pressure of making the rent would make that miserable and your chances of success are slim. (I'm defning 'success' as making a comfortable living).

I wouldn't even think about doing this unless I was playing cash games full time.
