This is for all above average players. If you had 3k and couldnt lose it...how long would it take you to make 25-30k. Just curious and had a bet with a friend that on average it would take approx 6 to 8 months. Your thoughts??

3k and I couldn't lose it? Say one spinn on the roulette takes 30sec max.

3k->6k 30sec
6k->12k 1min
12k->24k 1min 30sec

So about 2 minutes. But I problaby wouldn't stop until I was at something like 100 million k's

Ok, so Ill be more detailed for ya lol Playing NL Holdem only. What limits and how long would it take the above average player to cear 25-30k.

Kind of a brag thread, but I could do it in 5-6 months playing my usual NL200-500 + big rakeback.

Some of the best / harder working players can do it under 2 months at these limits.

Interesting. TY for the reply. Interested on how many tables and when you say 200-500 NL, you are talking about the buy ins and not the blinds right?? lol

You have too many variables to get any numbers that will be meaningful to you

- How profitable is a player at a given level?
- How does that profitability change as limits go up?
- How does that profitability change as concurrent tables go up?

Even if you knew all of this very well, there's always going to be a reasonable amount of variance. For players with a small profitability, this could have a big impact on how long it really takes.

Regardless, at my current rate it would take years. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Well lets take an average winrate of about 5PTBB/100 hands thats 10BB/100, say you play half your hands at 200 and half at 500, so that would be $35/100 hands. The take, I dunno, 30,000 a month. That's 10,500 a month.

I play micro stakes so I'm not sure if 5PTBB/100 is a optamistic/pessamistic winrate at these levels.
