Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
The kind of people who make the 250k are either
a) people who run good in the 5kNL+ games b) people with redargoe'esque work ethic in 3/6 through 10/20 c) people who grind hard in the HU games, 2/4 through 5/10 d) people with a tournament score(s) obviously im in category d

[/ QUOTE ] 625,000 is a [censored]-ton of hands. In fact, here's a dumb prop-bet-type Q that might infuse this old topic with a little new life: Which # is greater: <font color="blue"> A) The number of online cash game players who will clear $1,000,000 in 2007 (cash games only, no donkaments), or B) The number of players who will play more than 1,000,000 cash game hands this year.</font> I say A) in a rout.

I think I disagree, or at least I think it's closer than you make it out to be. 2,800 hands / day every single day of the year is a G-R-I-N-D. When I was grinding out some Party Points thing that required a ton of hands a few years back, I struggled to average 500 hands / hour over the course of a playing day. (granted I'm anal about table selection.) 6 hours / day of that every single day of the year is an absolute ton, and would take a lot of mental fortitude. I think the number for A) is between 100 and 200. If the number for B) is larger than that, I don't think it's by a whole lot... (how many hands -- approx -- does it take to achieve supernova at Stars?...that might give us a clue)

Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
I've already cleared over $250K JUST at 2/4 and 3/6 NL full ring. That's not counting my 6 max play or donkaments or live play (and I'm up in all ldo)
I think the guys saying you "must play 5/10+ or have insane work ethic" are just plain wrong.

[/ QUOTE ] and how many hours have you put in? at 5 ptbb/100 that's about 500k hands... which is certainly possible but there are VERY FEW players that can maintain 5 ptbb/100... especially when considering that to play that many hands you will be multitabling during off-peak hours etc
