I play mtt's full time and it is definitly an up and down ride. I get a little cash stud in from time to time as well. I was very fortunate to take 2nd in a tourney for 300k in January so life has gotten a lot easier. Prior to that I was grinding out wins at $20-$50 buyins, and the occasional larger buyin staked. Playing full time is incredibly stressful if you dont have a ton of cash stored away and a very sizeable bankroll. The transition from fun poker to job poker is very difficult. You have to be incredibly disciplined and also have to manage yourself emotionally on days where you family members(i.e. wife) are stressing you out.
