Amazing how many smart people on this thread completely miss my point.

My point is not that Bax does or doesn't "make enough". I was attempting to establish an expected $/hr for one of the best players. That's a valid meter for understanding how profitable online MTT can be.

My point is that amount of profits those at the top-of-the-game are pulling in totally incongruous with what I would have expected, and, given the top-heavy nature of any gambling puruit, implies a relatively modest existence for middle-of-the-packers.

It's just surprising, that's all, with all the TV coverage, all the emphasis on money, lifestyle, babes, bling, etc. -- especially by some of those who frequent these forums and post photos of their cars and houses and brag about their trips, etc.
