There are many who do well playing full time and make a lot more money than I, so when I say advantage, I mean that it's easier for me than for them. But day in and day out a decent full time player will have a much higher win rate than I can boast of, with fewer hours per session. Wanting to cultivate a few spots for longevity to avoid the time spent in travel, means giving up part or all of +EV at times for the sake of camo. This is not an efficient way to make money, but like I said, profit was only part of my goal. I enjoy meeting people from around the world and having some entertaining dialogues at the tables. I also play rated at some places and this gives me some very nice comps. Playing for a living, I would not risk playing rated. One back off can prove disatrous.
