~100 is a good number bc you NEED to be making a lot of money for the bad aspects of poker to be worth it.

For example, im up like 80k in the last year at poker. However, from early february to april i went basically break even at the tables. I was able to pay my bills thanks to rakeback, but i was cut really close. Thankfully, i made a stackobills in january and was able to weather it out (had a 30 bi downswing, plus was in full time school and didn't get to play much, yada yada).
