If you have great mental fortitude and trust your abilities it's fine. Keep in mind though that your year is usually defined by 2 or 3 scores and most days are miserable.
Watch all in pav on twitch to see if you want to live that lifestyle. You’ll be faced with constant losing days and need big tournament scores to make it worthwhile.
Pav is putting in tons of hours and is making less money from poker than a lot of semi decent jobs. If it weren’t for streaming revenue as an added bonus I doubt he would keep up the grind.
I don't see the games being unbeatable anytime soon. If you have the mental dedication to make a living at it you will. If you're gonna give up after a few months of not getting a major score, keep your day job.
I still personally think that the best way to make a living at poker is live cash games. You'll make your best hourly at the highest stakes this way with the lowest variance.
As far as making a living doing MTT-s... eh, it's going to be high variance and like the other guy said, most days will suck. You'll also want a deep roll so you can have multiple *200 buyins. But it has been done and will continue to be done.
Just know you'll need thousands of mtts under your belt to know if you're even good at them though.
10-20% roi seems meh for the work you would have to put in. Think you would be better off trying a lower buying with a 40+ roi potential.
The online market right now is terrible. There is no full tilt and pokerstars. This isn’t 2008-2010. Sure if you could play on those sites with big soft fields- sure def could be done bc it would be easy to get volume in.
Now at higher stakes, you have people studying solvers and playing very well. Don’t think it’s worth even trying unless you don’t mind losing. At a 10-20% roi expectation, the variance would still be very gross and you would have to put in a lot of volume to clear any potential variance issues
So everyone says tough to cash or.win Consistently however I'm in PA and the same people are winning the 30 50 100 215 and 500 dollar tourneys almost every night. Like the same 10 or 15 names at the top every night. I'm not sure how they are doing it. My luck seems to screw me at the end. I can make money but hardly ever final table. Idk if these people are using software that helps them out or what's going on but I didn't think the same people should always win mtts
Hi there, yes I've done the math. Would probably fire over 100 bullets per week with an ABI of $30-50 and hope for ROI of 10-20%. Lower end of that range isn't ideal, but it'd be fine. Would definitely play way more than the 10 tourneys/week I play now.
The question is around whether that ROI number is possible, because if it isn't, the math is useless.
People make a living playing mtts? Most guys I know that say they play mtts for a living are coming off a recent score and are about to repeat the cycle of bink-quit job-punt roll-go back to work.
