all u have to do is keep your expenses low. i make $2000+ a month on average. half the people in this country make less than that and get by ok.
sweet article as always from Daniel. what was yr modest nut, grump??? personally that is y i c poker as a 2nd job or supplement to ppls income
Clearly Negreanu has never met TBC...
I don't agree with TBC's numbers. The median household income in this country is ~$54,000. The median individual income was $26K a few years ago. Minimum wage is $15,000/year. Minimum wage is about to be $15/hr or $30,000/year in Seattle.
But sure, if you can find a way to live on 2K/month it's not that hard to play 200 hours a month and make $10/hr.
Not said in Negreanu's article: I believe most pros make their money on books and endorsement and actually lose money playing poker.
