good find with the Goldman Sacs thing, pretty funny comparison 7M for some top employees and were wondering about a mere 500k

How many hours do you think the average Top GS employee works? ~70 a week.... ~80 a week.

From what I can see the general poker community is young and lazy when it comes to putting in work hours. Your standard big 4 accountant right out of school is working 60+ hours a week during busy season.

If the majority of the on-line poker world put in a real 40 hour work week, the number of 500k+ winners would skyrocket.

No it wouldn't. The number of tags at each table would jump quite a lot and so the games would be much tougher.
