coming from someone who used to play this game for a living. It all depends on what kind of lifestyle you wanna live. You can grind 180s all day long and get by on a roll of $2000. But if you want to make any sort of decent living playing cash or mtts, you need in the 15-$20k range.

If i were just starting out, what I personally would do is save up $1,000 and put it online. Continue working my job to pay my bills and not touch my money online, within 1 year I would most likely have over $10,000 and be able to go pro doing that. But everyone has different skillsets and different issues and priorities.

It all depends on if you are going to play live or online. If online, it also depends on what country you live in.

your best bet to make $200 on average a day is probably mass multitabling sngs playing everything from a certain buyin all the way down.
