| oh we're talking about limit, musta missed that part... thought we were talking no limit. No limit of the same stakes is way more profitable then 5bb/hour. in fact, a no limit game of half the stakes would probably yield a higher profit. |

Just think about that claim for a second. Maybe a little longer. Do you realise what you're saying yet?
You don't automatically have a higher winrate at any given level just because its NL or FL. Some winning NL players might lose (and frequently do) at FL, or vice versa.
Sustained longterm winrates may be slightly higher at shorthanded NL games than shorthanded FL games, but its way more likely individual skill is the deciding factor. |

| Fire, I think he means 2/4 limit vs. 2/4 NL and so on when he says "the same stakes". |

| what i was trying to say is that you can't get donkeys to go all in limit, unless they're really shortstacked. So a donkey in no limit will give you more money in limit. |

Guys please all come back down to earth.
Any adult living in a western country who had the skill, aptitude and drive to make a meagre living at these small stakes you are discussing would either,
1. be in paid employment earning significantly more or
2. become so bored that he would soon find paid employment earning significantly more.
Only exceptionally gifted players who would be classified in the "savant" range of people could make a living playing on line poker.
People who make a living playing poker play with real cards at real tables and face to face.
There are so many gamblers happy to lose $500 at a casino for a night of fun playing poker. They have no idea who is sitting at the table licking their lips in anticipation of these recreational gamblers sitting in their games.
You just dont have the amount of people willing to lose such large amounts in short periods of time online as you do at the real tables.
If you are new to all of this print my words out and review them once a month. Whatever you beleive this advice to be worth donate that amount to charity. |

Well I missed it too. Probably because it's in one of the most useless threads ever to hit the LHE section, and I include ridic & deadmoney's brags in that category. Please lock it now, before it gets any dumber. |

I'm thinking at least 20 tables, 32 hours a day. Good luck. |
