I'm a poker player as well, what kind of money is there in DFS? Have played season long fantasy for years, but never made the switch.

It's huge. I've made roughly 900k from DFS the past 18 months with no large tournament scores. I truly believe I've run below expectation, losing on many of my bigger days/weeks and lacking major tournament wins. High stakes players can easily make into the 7 figures a year, crazy industry. Compare that with poker, I had a great 2011, made maybe 450k that year, a decent 2012 (maybe 100k), and roughly 40k in 2013 and another 40k in 2014 playing poker before switching over to DFS, it's a hard industry to make big money nowadays, that is unless you are getting in juicy private live games.

I was a winning season long player too before DFS. The transition took a few months, but there's no money in season long, and big money leagues are annoying to have that much locked up for a season at such higher variance. I'll just say that you won't be a big winner overnight and it will take a lot of work, but you should pursue it.
