prkp,

Here's one thing I'm curious about that just plain doesn't add up for me.

dealer pay based on $24/down rate: "$267.28 for the day"

WSOP dealing: "We depend on the WSOP to make up for the rest of the year to keep us all fed till January. This 45 days of hard work is atleast 2/3 of most of our incomes."

Working 6 out of every 7 days during those 45 days, that adds up to $10k for the 45 days. Something doesn't seem right here.

Im not sure exactly what you are asking here. Are you going by a post that I made an example of a normal day of dealing while they were on an "up/down" rotation? and what doesnt make sense? the numbers used or days worked or what? I really would like to answer the question if I could and im not trying to come across as a smart ass lol

if 10k is 2/3rds of your income then you make a total of 15k/year. you can't travel constantly, cover your own expenses, and live on 15k/year. so something doesn't add up. correct me if i'm wrong, but this seems to be diablo's point.

My assumption, and she can correct me if I'm wrong, was that the 2/3's number was a bit of hyperbole intended to indicate that they depend on making a lot of scratch during the intensive period of the WSOP to make up for the fact that a lot of the rest of the year is a lot slower, not that this was some exact percentage of their annual income.
