Online Poker Tournament Rankings

Do you play poker for fun, to subsidize your income, or for a living? What stakes do you play? If you play on the net, how many tables at once? How many hours do you play a week? Just curious - I am considering switching from B&M to the net and trying to figure out if the change over is worth the time.

While there is huge difference between On Line Poker Players and B&M Poker Players, I am curious as to what you think about "what stakes must one play to make a living at poker"? Each poker players "nut" is different (personal living/operating costs) On Line poker can involve multi-tabling, but On Line Poker is subject to more cheating than B&M Poker.

Ask yourself, are you willing to lose all your chips with QQ in a three handed game? Depending on that answer, several ways

I have a 10K "poker" bankroll. How high of blind structure should I play if I am a no limit specialist? (I am trying to win 40K in 3 months and return to the mountains where I live)

I play cash games only - no internet, 10/20 Blind

I have been doing this (playing poker) for over 30 years. (then returning to the mountains) I fly in to LA, or LV, play 10/20 Blind N/L. My usual start up poker bankroll is 10K. My personal cost of living in the mountains runs around 40K with all insurances, licenses, heat, etc. I make enough in about 3 or 4 trips of poker playing a year, to live the rest of the year in the mountains. Where I play poker depends on poker events. Poker tournaments are always Krazy with side games (Bellagio and Commerce
