I doubt that's true, unless you're playing about 10 tables and about 50 hours/week.

There may be people who can do that, however in general I'd say this isn't the case

I have a hard time believing that the number is so low.

Between 8-12k hands a week is a standard 'work week' for a pro online poker player, imo.

The necessary winrates at 30/60 is about 1.5BB/100.
The necessary winrate at 10/20 is about 4bb/100.

That doesnt even count rb, supernova bonus stuff or other benefits. With all of that, and playing more hands a week, it's perfectly reasonable for someone to be doing it at 15/30 or 5/10NL.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, even if you were CRUSHING the game, it seems like it would be hard enough to get enough hands in.

What part is funny? A winrate of 1.5BB/100 at 30/60, or playing 10k hands a week?

The 1.5BB/100 can even include rakeback/fpp... which gives you more wiggle room for your table winrate.
