20+ year winning micro/low stakes player at mainly Pokerstars but have tried and played all the main sites.

Honest truth online poker played at micro/low stakes is a great hobby and can be a great side hustle for some extra money. Making a living playing online and having a decent quality of life is hard depending on how one defines decent quality of life, where they live and how much that costs. Most countries that I think the majority of use would wanna live in you'd likely have to make 60k-100+ depending on what ones current quality/standard of living is. In Canada I'd need about 80k-100k(tax free). Likely can't make that much grinding hours daily and multi-tabling 50nl and if I didn't have a day job and depended only on poker for a living.....the wording of our tax laws have me too believe the tax man sooner or later is gonna come looking for his cut. So yeah I'd have to play at least 100nl and possibly 200nl online. I think that's a very tough player pool.

One would likely be better playing 1/2, 1/3 or 2/5 live for living over trying make a living playing mainly online. Live low stakes being a lot easier then online. The thing about live is now you gotta grind all day for hours sitting next to sweaty, old, stinky and smelling douchebags and a player pool likely half full of assholes and jerks. Doing that day after day after day after day for hours everyday......doesn't sound appealing to me.
 
Cheers!!!
