is there such a thing as an online tournament poker pro ?

Baltostar,

your figures are obviously totally out of the window. Bax made $537k from january 2006 up until today. This is from Stars only, no other sites (don't know which he plays myself) or live.

I think I "might" be able to live with making $380k a year...

It's the $/hr figures that are important. To figure that you need (1) some good stats on total profit for a large sample size of tournies played (we have that) and (2) you have to make some assumptions about avg hrs per tourney, and avg # tables played at once.

I don't think I'm far off in my calc of $100/hr.

Do the math. Bax is making in the neighborhood of $100/hr from online tourney poker. I know a charge nurse that makes $100/hr. Most charge/OR nurses make up towards $100/hr.

The key point is that Bax is the best in the business. It's all downhill from him.
