Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1503126, member: 40397"] Glad to hear things turned around for you. I'm just now going over this thread and noticed your earlier question about what limits would it take to sustain the income you wanted. You asked if you had to be at 1/2 to earn that kind of money. If you're good enough and can handle the volume, you can make six-figures playing 50NL. But you have to be crushing the game and have the discipline and fortitude (and bankroll) to achieve that. I just play part time, after work and on weekends. When I'm focused and disciplined and playing my A-game, I can be a solid earner. When I was playing primarily 50NL, I might make $1500 in a month just playing part time. But then the next month I might lose $2000. Rakeback and bonuses helped a lot, but it was still very swingy, and I've just come to accept that I'm prone to burn-out. So generally when I start swinging wildly, I take a hiatus, do some studying and leak plugging, and will often jump over to SnGs/MTTs just to change gears and blow off steam. I often find that doing so gives me some fresh perspective and gets me out of that burn-out phase (the main reason I don't think I could ever grind for a living) -- this burn-out leads to impatience, boredom, tilt, and all sorts of problems that inevitably feed and multiply my swings. Point I'm making is that variance is a beeyotch, and combined with your personal character traits, the swings can be brutal regardless of limits. So you can certainly make a living grinding the micros if you're built for it, but you can also take a beating. Whether you can attain a specific earnings goal is entirely up to you and your game. Nobody can really give you a recipe. 50NL is .25/.50. 100NL is .50/$1 [/QUOTE]
