I do play for a living. All money I earn playing poker goes directly into my bank roll. I have only played 1/2 nl live with one tournament. Of course with variance the amount of money you earn will vary. Last month i made a measly 1200$ with little over 170hrs played. This month though i chopped a mtt, hit quad 9s was extra $500 high hand on top of a already 600+ pot. Ive been running good this month and hands have been holding so I've made $4100 for march so far with a couple days to go.

It varies. December I was actually down money and January was just above even. Very important to have expense money saved and separated from your bank roll!

I started bankroll with 10k five months ago. Is now $17,839. Averages to $1,567.80 a month at lowest nl stakes of 1/2. Thats about 15% a month. When I get to 50k I will move up to 2/5 and believe I will make good money. And yea sorry terryk im sure you are loaded from poker putting me down :)

From poker? Nooice! I sacrificed n saved. I pay rent off of my savings separate to my bankroll. I only consider it "playing for a living" because it's the only income im generating at the moment.
