Friend of mine did this in the heyday. He’d have, like a dozen games going. Hunting and playing “soft players” (as the GP calls them).

I don’t know how long he played, he certainly didn’t mention a grind as described here.

But, he netted enough to buy his then new $30k Lexus.

A lucrative hobby if nothing else.

Your story reminded me of a case I personally know of a guy who was a very disciplined poker player for a period of time and one day won a sweet €90000 prize in an online tournament after a lot of effort. Apart from poker, his life was a mess (living with his mother, no even a driving licence, no serious job). He spent the whole amount on partying, hotels and cocaine. He never got again any substantial money from poker and his life is still a mess last time I knew.

Moderation in all things, including moderation...but also cocaine. Many have come, few have passed
