How hard or easy is it to make a living via poker, if you just want to make enough to live normally? I mean, where you just want to make the equivalent of $100 to $200 a day, not try and be a millionaire several times over. Do people do that, just play enough to make a basic wage?

That isn't necessarily true with poker, and even if you're a proven winning player it can be incredibly demoralising to have a losing month even when you feel that you're making good decisions. If you have the mental fortitude and the bankroll to weather the swings and not let them affect your game, then by all means, give it a try. I've never really thought about doing myself. I was always curious if there was a class of poker players out there who aren't playing to become rich, just playing to make enough to live comfortably and avoid a real job. Even if I did decide to really make a go at poker, it would just be for fun money. I'm in Canada as well, so no real red tape either, as far as I know. I've got the online option, and 5+ casinos within a 20 minute drive of my place.
