I have recently been injured and will be out of work for over a year,but luckily i can still click my mouse ! I was wondereing if any you guys think its possible to make $150 PER day playing 6 max cash games.I have $1000 bankroll on stars and mainly play 10c/25 c 25c/50c . is there anyone out there that can make this amount in a day playing micros and if s how many hours do you play and how many tables at once.going to be playing poker full time now so any helpful comment will be appreciated ty.

I think expecting to make 3-6 BIs as your daily average for over a year is an absurdly unattainable goal regardless of your skill level. No, I don't think you can.

Take shots at 1000nl

At 3bb/100 (for ease) thats $1.50/100 so 10,000 hands per day. So assuming 50 hands per hour thats 200 table hours. Even 10-tabling thats 20 hours every day. That's assuming its all at 0.25/0.50. So I'd say no. Either you need to be crushing the 50c game for 6bb+/100, 20-tabling or moving up limits for this to be possible.

All these figures are estimates though, if you can find fast tables where you get 100+ hands an hour then it might be possible at these stakes. POtherwise I'd say no.

Poker is a game of variance, so dont expect round sums every day. Usual good player wins about 70-80% of days imho.
Then if you play +5ptbb on 50NL you will go for $50 for every 1000 hands or 10table*hours. I think strong guy on NL50 will earn $150 for 6-8 hours on 6-8 tables.

I think your goal is realistic, but it needs many hours a day.

Then good poker is not money but education.

I hope you ll do your best, GL!

As long as you put in a solid effort volume wise, and you are a winning player overall, you are going to make money.

I do not think putting a $150.00 a day goal into this equation is the best thing to do....what if you play 3 days and break even, then will you feel that you are a failure?

Variance comes and there is no way to avoid it. You can play your best poker for a session, or for the day, and still be in the red, and it will happen.

How will this affect your mindset? What if you put in the volume and only make $450.00 for the week as opposed to the $1050 you expect to make? What will this do to your mindset and motivation for the upcoming week? How will this affect your game, and the choices you make?

Just put in an HONEST effort volume wise, and put in the hours, let the winning take care of itself ( and it will over the long run for the winning player) do not focus on the daily, but perhaps look at it weekly, bi weekly, monthly....THOSE should be the factors that you strive for and focus on.

Success will follow.

$150 should be an daily average goal not a daily goal. You'll never make money everyday and especially not $150 a day at 25 or 50NL.

IMO: Your off for a year, collecting disability, etc. I'd assume?
So maybe you're not doing this for an income(maybe I'm wrong please let us know)

But in that situation if I were you I'd try to play as a "pro" and move up limits, not give myself an amount to make per day/week etc.
You have a year to become a pro basically, if that's what you want to do, use the year to learn and become sharp before worrying about the results

there are people who make that at 5nl somedays.. on avg maybe 50-60$... so at 50nl if your beating it i dont see why u cant make 150 a day or alittle less on average

lol , 150$ at 5nl ? Gl with that. You should probably focus on getting your game up to higher stakes to make that 150$ a day eventually.

Which people?

yes lol at me playing 300k+ hands at nl50... I had humm some small "problems" moving up It's not a lifetime graph as I lost my old DB which had pretty strong results.





add to this about 6.7k of rakeback.

So to OP : the major variables I see there is :

1- your psyche (setting a 3bi goal per day is a double edge sword, for example : playing when too tired, forcing things, risk of falling into a results oriented trap)

2- your strategical skillset (you opening this thread makes me believe you could not be ready for that kind of challenge, but I might be wrong)

3- what sort of volume you think you gonna be able to put in - playing a winning game.

anyways, gl with the challenge and gl with your health.

edited typos, sorry english is my 3rd language...

after posting this thread i deposited $100 into full tilt,just to get a wee shot at rush poker 25c 2 tabling, i was up $85 last nigh then won $14.50 ON STARS playing 1 6 max 10c/25c.On the rush tables i basically only played good hands good position,and played my usuall tag on stars,nothing fancy,and today i am up over $80 for 4 hours just playing 1 table 25c rush poker.is it just me or is rush very soft a lot of opps seem to be calling 4x bb pf raises with a lot of poor holdings. all in all a good two days, i have also dropped my daily target to $80 wich seems a little more realistic... so maybe rush poker is the way to go. whats your thoughts on rush as i have only played there two days but already i am hooked. ty for all your comment guys

one bad hand and its all gone bro

For me rush is way way harder than normal 6max but to each his own I guess, as to the monetary targets it's like I said a double edge sword no matter if it s 80 or 150. This has been discussed before, dont be hard on yourself with these targets, be hard on yourself with : staying focused, playing an A game, preparing yourself for the game etc. It's the only way to go IMO, also you wont be able to blame failures on anything else than your mistakes wich is pretty solid as it lets you isolate and correct them.

This said the monetary target challenge worked for some players, by adding this motivation to grind hands each day.

after thinking it out canoodles i agree totally, so i have dropped my target to $80 to average over the 7days this should hopefully help pay the bills and i am also switching some of my roll to full tilt to play rush ,my freinds says the 25c tables are very soft uk evening time ..ty

maybe its just begginers luck , i think i will keep playing tight i guess but i did find the last sessions not to hard and there is defo plenty fish ..ty

checked that site out bro ! its great. i put in my poker username ******* and all sorts of stuff came up.pretty cool almost like getting spied on lol ..ty

yes christoph this will be my main source of income. i also love betting on football but will need to wait for the world cup to start so till then and between the finals and next season pokers all i got .... ty

Keep us posted on your RUSH progress. I would like to see what you think of the game after 100-150K hands of it.

I do not know how many hours of poker you plan on putting in per week, but I thought you mentioned that you would be playing a lot of hands per day, so at RUSH poker you will have this volume in no time.

8 to ten hours per day 6days then tourneys on sunday . ive set a new target the equivilent of £400 about $600 weekly.i will defo keep you posted on how i am getting on at ft. i am off to visit my wee granny for a few days so hopefully back on the tables saturday.. until then good luck buddy

I didn't bother to read what everyone else wrote, but I very very highly doubt that you will be able to obtain this playing a 25NL / 50NL mix of 6max. You will have to play at a very high winrate and put in lots of hands. Maybe a top level player could complete this for a month or short period of time, but obtaining this over the course of a few months or a year is a almost impossible task.

gl to op

Another problem of de "making $x per day" target is that you play more hands on days where you are running mehish and you only play a few hands on days if you run hot. Since running hot kinda puts most people in a better zone it's a waste of your zone to quit that day so soon.

Not the best explanation, my excuse is that I'm only sipping my second coffee of today and am not yet fully awake .
