I'm curious to know what kind of spending habits we as pauper players have within MTGO. I expect the average of this group should be quite low.

I drop $50 in my account each month for use in card buying, playing games, all that good stuff. I also sell back my rares from drafting, and try to play a little bit of the finance game.
I would guess that if it weren't for spending a little more due to research for the podcast, and entering into a lot of events and 2-man queues for the videos I do, I would be able to be close to infinite. But, hey, I love you guys and I am willing to do it.
I'll occasionally go on a Limited tear, and that can eat through the bankroll pretty quickly.

I am nowhere near breaking infinite. But I play mostly limited where it is harder to accomplish than in constructed. I usually buy two draft sets and manage to do 3-5 drafts with them and the prices. Usually I sell all rares, if I don't use them in Commander. Also if the rare is worth 0.1 I wont likely sell it.
Just today I bought cards for 40tix, but that is rare for me. I won some money from betting last night (my favourite team AC Milan beat Arsenal 4-0 and I got my money back with 70x multiplier) and decided to spend some of it to build another Commander deck and buy one playset of pauper staples.

I don't spend a whole lot on Pauper. At this point, I've got pretty much everything I need, so I'll just buy a few cards here and there. And I've yet to get into the really competitive aspect of the format, so I don't use tix for 2-mans or dailys, for example. This will probably change however, but for now I'll vote for less than 10 tix.
My spendings on other formats - Modern mostly - is something else entirely though. But it's a format I'm quite invested in, so I don't mind.

I spend on cards right now since I'm picking up pauper staples, but I'm sure as that spending drops off some tix will be redirected into Daily Events and 2 Man queues.

So far I've spent 59 managed to make a mono b rats suicide zombie and suicide vamp deck and have a janky b/g infect deck and still have roughly 20 to 30 tix left mostly been running practice rooms to get the hang of the format before I start sinking 'em into dailies and 2 mans

A note of advice, M12 boosters (the prize from pauper events) have dropped below 3tx, making the winnings from dailies less profitable (and I definitely don't recommend 2-player queues). This generally happens between the last expansion and the core set. Thus, unless you expect to be consistently going at least 3-1 every other event you play in, I recommend against it until M13 comes out. May I recommend you try some Player Run Events (PREs) if you can find one that fits your schedule? They have prizes, sponsored by different MTGO bots, but are free to enter. community.wizards.com/go/forum/view/75846/135082/Magic_Online_Player_Run_Events

Thanks for the tips I still have a ton of playing and tweaking to do before I'm even remotely feel I have a shot competitively. At this rate m13 will likely be live by then lol.

Just a question then since I'm new to MTGO is the payout for the Pauper queues always Core set boosters.
