I think you can make $15-$25 in 3 hours on any reputable poker site. This profit can increase up to 2500 and 4500 per month
At 50NL, even part-time winners can earn around $1,000 per month. This is my personal opinion.
Somehow you'd need to be playing for 130hrs. per week, at a winrate of $8/hr. Even playing 7days /wk. that's still 18hr. 40min. per day. A player would need to be very focused to have that kind of endurance.
What is your current winrate? (typically given in bb's/100
hands for cash games... and ROI % for MTT/SnG)
Playing 50nl, 4-tabling Z00M (approx. 800 - to - 1,000 hands/hr.) with a winrate of 4bb/100. (not including rakeback), you could earn ~$20/hr.
You'd need to put in 225 hrs. per month to profit $4,500/mth.
And honestly, it's tough to break even on those tables & I'd suggest that only a small handful of players have a decent winrate on them. (rake kills!)
I personally believe that MTT's is the way to go in today's
online poker world. (this is coming from a guy who has played both... but focused most of my play for the past 5years on cash tables). I don't strive to move up to higher stakes though. Dealing with variance is difficult but I believe there's a much larger % of fish on the MTT tables... ones who are making lots of mistakes and are easily exploited. On the cash tables these types are much fewer and father between (just my opinion).
I don't know about the 50nl Z00M tables (& haven't played 50nl for awhile now), but at the lower ones 5nl, 10nl, & 25nl there are some regulars who are putting in that kind of volume (on
partypoker)... but even there... those tables aren't super busy all day long. There are periods in the day where there are much fewer players and would be much more difficult to get that kind of volume in.
I am personally starting an MTT challenge & hope to be profitting ~$1,500/mth from it, while playing part-time.
