Vegas tho
Also most cash game players just simply dont care about MTTs. I'd suggest less than 5% of full time cash players played any part of ispt.

I am sure the number of people who play MTTs for a living must be well over 100. I am ranked just inside the 100 on pocket
, I'd say at least 90% of those above me must be full time, quite a few below me and several who aren't ranked. So I'd go for something like 250 for online MTTs alone. I guess there must be more than that play cash for a living and a few less play STTs these days + a smattering of live only players who make a living. So all in all about 1k.

Out of interest Doobs, what does your typical schedule look like?

I can't start until around 8, but weekday:
Stars
8.30 50 rebuy
8.35 25 hyper turbo plo8, 100 plo8
9 big 150
10.15 100 turbo
+ more occasionally the hotter 50 and 75 and if I start early enough the 7.30 50 plo8
I will sometimes play others if in the mood and sometimes throw away 500 in the weekly plo8 on a Wednesday.
Stars.fr
100 at 8pm
100 turbo, 50 turbo and 30 turbo.
Sometimes the 8.30 200 6 max
Ongame
50 rebuy at 8
Sometimes 50 turbo at 9.30 and 100 turbo at 10.15
Sky
Whatever the 8pm game is and sometimes the mini and sometimes the 9 pm.
Winamax
8 pm 100 euro game
8.30 high roller and most days the 50
9.30 100 Payback turbo
10 50 turbo
11 Le Go Fast 50 Turbo
Sometimes the 20 Euro crapshoot.
I poker
Sometimes play the 50r and the deep stack turbo. I am not a fan, the structures are just a little too good for the prize money. I don't want to be still up at 4am for a few hundred dollars.
I try and keep below 12 tables nowadays, so only open more than that by accident.
Some days I may just play a few turbos and the ante only on stars which is about 10. It usually happens if I am knocked or the kids are playing up or if I am playing on a non core day.
Sundays things get binned for the more special Sunday biggies.
I drop the bigger ones on bad downswings. When I am working I lose everything that finishes after 2, though I think even that is too late, so may get stricter next time.
I only really play proper schedules on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Kids get me up at 7.

Seems to be some confusion between "Profession" and "trade".
They are very different things. Don't ask me the difference though, I don't know.
Think one is posh, like Tal, the other is more sort of common, like Vinni, or Jeeves.
