Sure, there could be problems, and you need to be smart and flexible, but it's simply not the case many people can't get through life on $2 million.

Especially when you consider that most people don't earn $2 million when working their entire lives.

Lol to that. I'd like to see how much you crush it for. Would love to see that PT screen shot.

As far as Empire Maker2 goes he is obviously a very good player but I'm not so sure a ultra tight style is going to get it done at the bigger limits these days. I have a lot of repect for him when I do sit with him but there is certainly no fear factor that I feel compared to when I've sat with some of the other successful higher limit pros. Again. I think he's a vgood player so don't misinterpret this. Not impressed with gambler2k4 at all btw on many levels.

it depends on the table you're at. with my past image I can play a session at 10/5 and get tons of action.

That's not true. The median income in the US is around $45k. That's somewhere around 45 years work to earn $2 million. If you start work at 20 and retire at 65...

why do you say that? I didn't mean he could take his winnings, put it into a savings account and live off of it for the rest of his life. I meant that with his lifetime earnings from Party INVESTED correctly he pretty much doesn't have to work another day in his life.

[/ QUOTE ]
Using the $2 mil example, I'm going to say it would be extremely difficult to retire on that at 20, especially if you plan on having kids down the line, owning property, etc.

Just buy a bunch of real estate and thats it :/

At a savings rate of -2% or so, how long would it take to save $2MM while earning $45K per year?
