For micro- and low-stakes players, what do you see as the pros and cons of concentrating on one type of NLH (e.g. MTTs, 6max cash, FR STTs, etc.) versus playing a mix of NLH versus a mix that includes other games (PLO, stud, etc.)?

What differences are there, if any, in what it takes to succeed in the highest level cash games and on the major tournament trail?

When people think / dream about making a living from poker, what hurdles are they likely to ignore or underestimate?

If it's not too much would you give a very brief description of how you started and what the journey was like to reach the high stakes games.
Like what stakes you started at, how much you needed to play/study and finally weather there were any levels you found harder to beat than others.

I won't be sending this in until Thursday - so we can take more questions for a couple of days if you have any.
