Default Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok

[ QUOTE ]
Even a 12 tabling 1/2nl player with a weak winrate could clear 250k.

If he plays just 5 hours a day (3 when waking up, 2 before bed, not that hard....still leaves him like 10 hours in the day to do whatever). That's 180k hands a month.

180k hands a month with a winrate of even 2ptbb/100 = $14,400 in profit at the tables. Rakeback on FTP for example would be 27%, making his rakeback per month $7k for net profit per month of $21,400.

Comes out to $256k a year. Might seem far fetched on the surface but playing 5 hours a day on avg if you're serious about the game isn't all that far fetched.

So someoen 6 tabling at 2/4 nl with a decent winrate shouldn't be having a hard time clearing 250k. Guess the question though is how common is it to have a decent winrate at 2/4nl.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm pretty sure that no-one has made more than $250k from just pokerstars 6max 2/4 nl this year for example. A handful might be close, especially if you include rakeback. There will be a few who play 2/4 nl who have made $250k but not just from 2/4 nl.
