Daniel Negreanu's Latest Cardplayer Article

[pyedog]

Was anyone else annoyed by the math in this article? The player is making $2K per week playing 5-10 NL as the best player at that limit (which seems low considering the best player could expect a winrate of $50-75/hr at those stakes). Then he moves up to 10-20NL against much better players (thus obviously his earn rate shouldn't even double, but should only increase by about 50%) and all of a sudden he's making $10K per week?

It seems like those figures were pulled out of nowhere just to glamorize the player who is taking a shot at the higher stakes. But I did think it was an interesting article nonetheless. As you can probably tell, I'm a nit, in both senses of the word.
