All sorts of questions
While I know this is not feasible for me, I'd love to hear more about this. How long have you been supporting yourself with poker? Where do you play? What limits? How many hours a week?

I have been playing full time for about 3 years now (I owned a business and sold it). Here is a breakdown of where I play:
25% online (PartyPoker) 25% Live N/L Tournments (Tues & Thurs at a social club) 25% Foxwoods (10/20, 20/40 or 30/60 limit) 25% Taj or Borgata (10/20, 20/40 or 30/60 limit) I play on average 7 hours a day. Some days I make out great and other days I suffer. If I feel like I am having a bad outing, I cash out immediately. I do not even think about it twice. I have lost big by thinking I can break a funk. Last year I made 75K playing and that was the best I have done so far. It takes a strong mind to be in to this day in and day out. Also, I am married, so it takes a understanding and supportive spouse.

That's all well and good, but why don't you like oreo cookies??!?!?!
Kidding. Congrats on the success. Has playing for a living taken any of the fun out of it? |

At least from what has happened to me is it all becomes mechanical. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE playing poker, but it does get annoying at times.

What do you play online? My guess is mostly 15/30 limit (full ring)?

 This was a LIVE game and not online. I placed 4th in the tourney and did not come in the money...darnit. So I played the ring game and came on top

Funny, I find myself a better tourney player than ring player. I just don't have the patience for ring games as generally I feel the players are a bit stronger than tourney players, even sitngos. I guess tv exposure has a lot to do with that, since they don't really show any money games on tv, and the weak players find tourneys "cool" to play in.
