"It's nearly impossible to be a tournament specialist in the States unless playing high stakes. Even in Vegas, the full schedule of tournament series supplemented by dailies isn't a viable profession. Yeah, you can make money doing it, but not nearly as much as you can make playing $1-$3 no-limit. If you want to be a tournament specialist, move to Mexico and grind online. If your cash game has holes, it's time to plug them."

During the height of TV and online poker a few years ago there were very regular tournaments in Vegas, but most casinos have cut back their poker rooms and tournaments. Back then my friend bought into a tourny at Caesar's and they had cameras everywhere. Not so unusual for the time. It's all about the cash game now, which is many hours of grinding with a sufficient bankroll as the article points out.
