Here is a way to find out if you can make a living. Play for 6 months and figure out how much money you made at poker. Is that enough to cover your expenses without hurting your bankroll? Better yet, look how much you made last month, was that enough to cover all your expenses plus increasing your bankroll?
 
If it's not, don't be disappointed. If you keep progressing maybe in a year or two you will be at the high stakes tables and you'll be able to make a living without any compromises. At this point, maybe concentrate on increasing your BR.
 
Good luck if you decide to make a make poker your living.
 
 
As far as Chris Ferguson's comments about WINNING 2/3 of the SnG's....can someone find that and post the link?  I think that might have been taken out of context.  The top players are finishing 35% ITM for SnG's and MTT players are doing well if they finish 15% ITM.  I think you need a sample size of about 1000 games to see where you are really at.  Anyone can go on a heater and catch cards and have their cards hold up on 60/40 races.  The real test of a player is how well they handle the 10-15-20 game losing streaks.  I'm almost positive I'm not the only one who has experienced something like that.  Oh by the way, as good as Chris Ferguson is, he is not immune to downswings.  On his $0-$10k challenge he went up to $27k then went on a major losing streak all the way back to $9k.  This is Chris Ferguson, I mean CHRIS F'N FERGUSON......$27k to $9k.  If it can happen to him, it can happen to all of us.
