Making a living out of poker?

Hi guys.

Would be interested to know what games the part time/ full time pros play on this site.

I more interested to know if u stick to one form (e.g. Limit cash holdem) or do you mix it up (Limit/ MTT/ SNG`s)

Also, what kind of $$$ limits do you play?

Thanks guys

Interesting thread, and it will be interesting to see if there is any full time pros that post here, my guess will be 1 maybe 2 if we are lucky.
Personally i wouldnt consider myself any-way pro or semi pro, even though i do make a nice yearly income playing, but no where enough to pay my way, perhaps when i get to $200 NL that will change but for the moment i play mostly $50-$100 NL ($50 mostly) and usually $24 MTT;s on FT.

I've never considered myself part-time pro, but I do make money off of the game and I do play quite a bit. Maybe I qualify?

For income, I stick chiefly to limit shorthanded tables (mostly three-tabling $5/$10, taking the occasional shot at juicy $10/$20 tables), but I'm now also spending quite a lot of time at the $50 NL tables at Party, practising. When I mix it up with SnGs and such, it tends to be for fun, not for money.

I`m Not a Pro by any means, but i do consider it a form of a part time job, im retired and was making an extra $`100. a month, give or take a few bucks, but it did add to my monthly money,, UNTILL our Government got involved, now i got over $ 400. all together at different sites and Cant get it,, i wish it was all at Stars so i could play our Bi-Weekly game,,,,buck

At Full Tilt, you can see the pros playing. They are shown with red names and the tables are shown in red in the lobby. From what I have observed they tend to play 6 handed $10-$20 nl games. Most seem to play two tables at the same time. They don't start with mega bank rolls (about $1500) and do not appear to bully the other players. The play seems quite restrained with big bets being respected. If there is significant pre-flop action, you tend to see only 2 players contesting the pots and on showdowns they tend to be holding premium hands (E.g. QQ, AK, etc.)
