Humbly disagree with both the above. Anyone who plays for a living, or steady income, plays limit, plain and simple.

You can probably multi table 3/6 and make that much a day if you are good and can play for a few hours.

Pshabi could probably tell you better, I think he was multi tabling 3/6 for a good while.

At the "One big bet and hour" theory that is generally accepted as atainable if you play 3 tables then 5 hours a day would get you right around $100 +/-

I am sure it's tougher than it would appear though.

Good Luck with it.

I was thinking 4 tbls 25nl every time a doulbe one bail, and start again with $25 over and over thoughts?

also solid play with no bluffs

[Tony Cheval]

No.

NEVER 'bail' on a winning table, setting a 'stop-win' limit is a terrible idea.

[thrash1294]

I think with this plan I make steps 4 steps=$100
that way I would not have to risk a big stack which could set be back to square one. and with low buy-in the risk would be less. I dont want to get half way up the staircase and be knocked down to the landing on one hand.

so I guess this could be called the staircase plan...

Though I understand the temptation, ratholing here is actually the worst way to go about this. Should you double up at $25 NL table, you want to use your larger stack to your advantage, forcing your opponents to lay down when otherwise they might call.

How to best make $ really depends on your individual strengths as a player. For me, it would be a couple hours at a 3/6 table. Individual results may vary.

Print and save pshabi's post, as it is very important. Have stop limits if tilting is an issue, but you can't/won't make $100 a day everyday. So some days you'll need to make $500 to make up for those other days when the cards aren't falling.

thanks 2 tone good input

All and any advice welcome

[Tony Cheval]

Far better would be to:

1) Learn to recognize when you're starting to play suboptimally,

2) Have the resolve to stop when you are doing so, then come back when you're ready.


God knows I could do better at these.

While it might be a majority of players that play limit for a living, I personally know a handfull of people that clear 150k plus a year playing NL ring games. These are just people that I know for a fact they clear this much, not including some people that claim to be making that much. They do have tremendous down swings that a limit player might not have as much(though I could be wrong), they also make an absolute ass load while running good.

[thrash1294]

Well Itried it for 2 days $25 nl 14 hrs total profit $236 then 2 day limit $1/2 17 hrs total profit $147.

limit is much less stressfull. but I may try 2 days with 2 limit tables and one no limit and see how it goes.

totals above include rakeback

[Talking Poker]

Obviously, it goes without saying that those are far from significant sample sizes... but GL. Keep it up.

Oh, and maybe it will work for you, but I hate mixing limit and NL play - I never do it.

[eejit101]

I cant mix the two either. Nice figures so far, gl keeping that up.

[JDMcNugent7]

i know of 100's of people that play strictly NL as their job.
If they are better at NL than limit I don't see how u can say everyone who plays for a living plays limit - it just makes no sense.

[eejit101]

I know about 4 guys who play online NL for a job.

Stirctly the "maths" guys play limit, the people who read the books, take the time, the serious guys.

JD is a wonder kid, he seems to be able to put people on hands, bet the correct amount each time, he plays NL, he earn $10million a week or something

[thrash1294]

Ok another 8hrs playing limit $1/2 3 tables and -154 ouch donkeys killed me.
