Too bad you are both pussies and never give action to anyone. Only reason you are making that much money is because of how soft the games were. You should prolly invest all your moneys now and and retire from poker.

How many 2+2ers made over 500K last year and are on pace to make over 500K this year?

Surely not that many, right? Maybe 20?

Regarding fund managers...

This is way off topic but there is a lot of evidence that they really don't contribute anything. They provide superior returns but only if you fail to adjust for increased risk, and they pretty much rip off their customers in terms of fees.

If they were in fact providing abnormal returns they would at least be making the market more efficient, even if they were still ripping off their clients. As it is I really don't think they do anything except add a little volatility.

(There are some outlier funds that really do seem to provide abnormal risk-adjusted returns, to be fair.)

BTW - My main source for this is a recent New Yorker article, but people in the press and academia and other areas of the financial world have suspected this for years.

Lol. Neither of you ever play me or anyone else that can actually play. Sitting in 10tables 24/7 and sitting out against 49 of 50 opponents qualifies in my mind as not giving action to anyone. Fwiw id love to play some $100k headsup challenge $25 $50 or $50 100.
