First of all, remember that even though I love CardsChat for many reasons, this is a site for recreational players. Maybe there a few pros who make a little money by contributing but most if not all people responding to you in this thread are recreational players. This means they do NOT make their money playing micro stakes poker.

So, now to the question, people can and do make a decent "living" playing poker professionally. You must be willing to treat it as you would a job. You need to "work" regular hours and this includes hours of study and preparation for playing.

I was in a unique situation, I became disabled, so my living expenses were covered by my disability insurance. I never really worked hard enough at poker, I am slightly profitable and I enjoy playing. I don't enjoy grinding low stakes tourneys for 80 hours a week. I had dreams of being "pro" until I realized that I am too old and do not have the desire, so now I just have fun and play as much as I like, I am not moving up in stakes as fast as I think I should, but I have definitely improved and that is OK for me at this time.:D Having fun is what I enjoy most
