Think your bonus is unrealistic?

I don't see what the big deal is really. You get a food/water IV, and a bedpan. And you give yourself a break every 3 hours (but only five minutes, times a wasting). You don't answer the door, the phone, or anything. In case of a fire, take a laptop with wireless connection to the nearest place where you can plug and play.

Yeah, Thats ONLY 8 hours a day, EVERY DAY, 10-tabling . Should be a cake-walk.

I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers.

26255 points * 20 raked hands/36 points (10/20+) = 14,600 raked hands. 50 raked hands/hr = 300 table hours. 10 tabling = 30 hrs.

Not a walk in the park, but not exactly 8 hrs a day for 7 days.

So your under pressure to perform like this for each week for 8 weeks running (and if something out of the ordinary happens in your life on week 7 you shoot yourself in the foot?) for a whopping $100 a week????

This isn't directed to or about anyone in this thread, just a general observation:

People talk about the 'freedom' of being a poker player, setting one's own hours and taking days/weeks off, etc... it would seem that following a program like this is strikingly similar to being locked down into a full time job.

I think in general, there is more freedom than this. I could never do it either way, but I guess it's not for everyone. Please see the 362723457 threads that discuss the pros and cons of "going pro."
