1.1 million for 9th? **** that.

You don't even make double the buy in until 4th place.

Payout is not bad, nobody seems to be factoring the rake/donation.

Also it is essentially a 45 man.

I have played and studied poker recreationaly for 2 years. Online where I was a breakeven tournament player and losing cash game player. I never applied myself. During that time I also played live cash games and several tournaments. I have been profitable at both, grinding $20 an hour at 2/5 in a highly raked game but for a small sample size. I still feel I make plenty of mistakes that I need to correct, which makes me think my $20/hr winrate could just be run good.

Anyway, I have always been employed and had earned decent money. I am 24, on 100k a year but as every day passes it appears I will soon be out of employment. The company I work for is losing money by the month due to the current global economic climate, there simply isnt enough work for us to do. My days are filled with 'doing time' in the office. I am now unhappy in my job which I used to love due to lack of work/things to keep busy. The future of the company depends a current negotiations to secure a short term but lucrative contract. We are underdogs but in with a chance. If it fails, we will fail and I wont be able to move anywhere in my industry. I'll be back at square 1. I am now considering whether or not I take on poker full time and attempt to make something of it.

I guess I just want to hear people say they do it. The room I play in (only one in the state) is pretty juicy but there are a few winners in the room I can tell. I wonder if theres room for 1 more full time winner? I have no doubt I would need to travel to play 5/10 and higher. There is a 5/10 game that runs a couple of days a week but its not sustainable.

I would be underrolled but not broke, something like 20k for 2/5. Is playing 2/5 for a living doable? It seems rough.

Just looking to hear experiences and advice from people who do it. Thanks for reading

you can make 50/hr playing 2/5 NL without any big hassle. But you need to be a good player, study hard, and ignore many things that people seem to focus on.

so if 50/hr is good for you, and you think you have the skills to play it, and you have a 100bi bankroll, then go for it.

Otherwise, Id suggest getting another job and saving up a smaller (30bi) bankroll and just playing as an amateur

The payout structure is fine. Really top 6 should get paid. But that would have been dumb. So top 9 got money that's cool.

He was real real old, no sadness in him dying it was his time.

Its sad to see young people die before their prime but to have andy griffith pass isn't sad. He lived a great life to an old age and we should all be so lucky.

I guess my view is everybody dies.
