Actually, 225 tournies is a pretty good representative sample size. Bax's total tournies for 1st 5.5 months of 2007 is 569.

Bax is tracking to make $300k pre-taxes from online tournies in 2007. $300K is about the avg starting salary of an options trader on the street. No wonder Strasser is headed in that direction.

Yeah no way do you make 300k starting. I have friends who work for Goldman and Bear Stearns and I know they don't make that much.
Also, OP have you ever thought of quality of life? The player you are talking about has kids and being able to play at home might be a huge advantage to him rather than working a 60+ hour week on wall st.
