I've heard this many times. I think it requires more explanation than that. Why is the $100 number so significant?
I think any significance is imagined. If one makes $100/hr. at a full time job, that is over $200k/year. Even if you subtract out fringe benefits such as health insurance, etc., that is still about $180k/year. Discount that by some reasonable variance probability (since we are making up numbers, lets choose .8), that is a job that pays $144k/year.
It doesn't sound like the OP is making anywhere near that, so he doesn't need to make that much for playing poker full time to be a net financial benefit for him.
Me, I make $310k/year + benefits, so I would need to make substantially more than $100/hr at poker for it to be worthwhile (probably around $250/hr).
Point being, it all depends on one's particular circumstance as to how much one needs to make in order for it to be better than working a job.
