The average vig to stay on tour and play the events is $450-550K per year. The grinder openly told me his vig is $50k per month..........so translate that to poker return, unless you are making $1.5M per 3 years (without cutting a backer in) then you are losing money...

Is this figure accurate? What is the least amount of money a circuit player could go through? How the hell do circuit players afford these costs?

its prob accurate for some of the players who have huge outside leaks. but i think someone who has minimal outside leaks could travel the circuit for a fraction of the said amount.
