Keep the poker questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: I want to try and make a living off poker. I cant find a job in this hard economy and I have been hearing alot about great poker stories. At my local casino there are 10 and 5 dollar tournaments every week. If I can play those I wouldn’t be spending as much. Also what about the sit and go tables. There it seems a little more relaxing because you are not on a time limit. You can fold many hands and use that option to fold. But what limit should I set like o 50 dollars a day?? Do I aim for bigger amounts a day when my bankroll grows??
Answer: It sounds to me you need a lot more experience before you start playing poker as a job. At the very least find a part time job and play poker on the side. If you prove to yourself that you can make a consistent profit over a long period of time maybe then consider playing poker full time.

You haven’t mentioned anything about actually knowing how to play or being any good at the game. That’s sort of a requirement.
Doesn’t sound like you have any experience, just based on that question. You are better off saving your $50 per day for food and gas.

You don’t know what you are doing, you are one of the people that makes a professional life style possible. You should invest $50 dollars in books before you start.
