How do you make a living playing poker?
One question i have is..how do professional poker players come up consistantly? say they arrange to only play with a certain amount per day, like 1,000. If they play for several hours, eventually wont they get a bad beat and loose that thousand? My question is: How do you avoid bad beats that deplete your days bankroll after playing for such long hours?

- Its because we always play for the long run number 1, and number 2 we never risk more then 2-5% of our bankroll at any one time. Poker is a game that takes a ton of twist and turns, when i sit down at a table i set a limit for the day of what i can win or what i can loss in any given session. If i sit down with 500.00 dollars at a 2-5 no limit game and i double up then i go home. Or if i loss my buy-in i also go home. I don't think of it in terams of im down 300.00 dollars so i have to get it back, all i try to do each hand is make the most sound and solid play according to the infromation i have at the time. I know if i do that, then in the long run i'll make up any money im down plus more. I never chase money, and i never play over my head. I have a big enough bankroll that i can play 10/20 games, but if i have a few bad days i'll soon find myself back to 1/2 no limit games. I never feel like i have to play higher limits at all, i play in the same 2-5 or 1/2 no limit game and i do fine grinding it out for profit. Don't ever feel that you have to play in bigger games if your not up to it.
