Samoleus,

you come up with an hourly rate and a number of hours per week that over 3 years translate to 5 million dollars 4 tabling. However, party have only had 10-20 NL for, what, 9 months? So even if your 2200 an hour was true it would only be pertinent over the past 9 monhts and thus your total winnings in this game would be WAY less 5 million. So what was the situation - prior to the party 10-20 NL there was another game that you could 4 table for 25 hours a week and make the same hourly rate?

James,

I am a novice NL player. I play limit full time at the moment. I would like to mix in some NL. I want to make lots of money so that I can provide a comfortable life for my future wife and children, if I am blessed enough to have them. One of the two primary methods of learning NL I intend to employ (the other one being playing), is to read posts in this forum. I do not have the time/inclination to read every post so I will have to develop a filtering system. If a poster really had been as successful as Samoleus had claimed, over as many hands as he claimed, I would be faced with overwhelming evidence that he is an exceptional player who thinks about the game deeply and clearly. I would thus pay special attention to their posts. If this person had invented his winrate but I took it at face value and tried to emulate his way of thinking it could cost me a lot of money, which I don't want. It would also increase the chance that he is making other stuff up, such as the very hands he posts.
