I'm currently playing $1/$2 6-Max LHE on FT, and I'm doing ok, slowly building my bankroll and clearing their bonus. The thing is though, I'd like one day to make a living playing poker online, and I just can't see how that would be possible playing limit. Am I wrong about this? I was playing £0.35/£0.70 on CryptoLogic and getting about 9BB/100, and now on $1/$2 on FT I'm down to 2BB/100. The difference in quality as you go up tables is very noticeable, so I'm thinking if I were playing $5/$10 limit, how much could I hope to win? Say 2BB/100? So that's $20 per 100 hands. At the moment I work as a programmer and earn about $150 dollars a day - therefore to earn a similar amount (which still isn't a great income) I'd have to play on average 750 hands per day. That seems like a hard way to make an easy living, as they say.
So my question is, does anyone make a living playing limit? And if so, how? I'm starting to think that I need to move to no limit, even though I don't like it as much as limit; there seems to be more people playing no limit (presumably because of TV, WSOP etc), and it seems like the quality of players in small stakes no limit games is actually quite poor compared to limit, and therefore it should be easier to make money. Do people who make decent money at poker all play no limit?
