20nl-50nl
50nl-200nl
300nl-500nl

obviously its all dependant on hours played/no of tables etc but who cares,  just throw some wild monthly estimates out there.

Also sub-question - would it be possible to make a living at 20nl? ive been thinking about this and i think the answer is yes. By make a living i mean make more than minimum wage.

    I dont know about nl50 and upwards, but its a good question and I`d be interested in replies.

    As for making a living at 20nl, I spose it would be possible multitabling but you would have to put the hours in.  Most of the time during the daytime on this site you will struggle to get 4 tables running of 20nl.  There just doesnt seem to be enough traffic.

    20-50: £10-20k
    50-200: £50k
    300-500: £150k

    Basically randomish guesses:

    I took the midpoint of each range, assumed on average making 1 buy in a day 5 days a week for a year. And then added a bit on.

    He's a trainee lawyer indentured to ClaimsRus ......... they are prone to exaggeration, so he's getting in some practice.

    Meh I never normally play this much. Got banned from driving for a month so leaving the house has been a hassle and can't play much live etc hence the volume online. Tbh i've played for so long know that it's never that much fun. This month i've only been kept going by running so badly. I've literally been the cash point for all regulars, so sick. KK for whoever has AA, all draws bink against me on turn and brick when I have gazillion outs. You know the usual lol. The more I get brutalized the more I wanna grind. Next month I doubt i'll play as much. Have also started feeling really unfit this month due to all the sitting down!

    With the mini view tables I think racking up the points is alot easier now because 9-15 tabling is so much easier.  I managed to get 18 tables up a few days ago and didn't start timing out on any until I started reading forums/trying to take hh's down lol.

    I always thought that BB = big bet, which is 2 big blinds.

    so on a 10/20p table one bb would be 40p per hour.  Personally I would say 4bb is much more a realistic target, meaning 1.60p per hour.  10 tabling would be £16.00 per hour which is way above min wage.  So yes, I believe you can make a living at this level. 

    I also think it is possible to make a living technically from 5/10p but anyone good enough wouldnt stay at these stakes anyway.
