Quote from thecalip:
I don't believe anyone can make a living out of playing poker or anything online (better sport is different). You will have a slight edge over some loose players (referring to poker), but on the long run the dealer is the biggest winner. It is in the host's best interest to distribute the money equally so everyone will stay. The more people stay and play, the more fee they collect.
You do not know how false this is, when I was playing I met several people online that I still keep in touch with to this day, and when I went to vegas 2 weeks ago to play some WSOP events and sit n gos I met a lot of them and this is all these people do - play poker. I have 3 very close friends locally that I met through party poker that still ONLY play poker for a living and do nothing else. Believe me, you can definately make a living playing poker online.
