Re: *The Definitive Hourly Rate Thread*

[ QUOTE ] hmmm...so all these people here making 500/hr make a million dollars a year playing only 40 hrs per week? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm also convinced a lot of these numbers are pure [censored]. $500 an hour = $960,000 a year playing 40 hours a week $200 an hour = $384,000 a year etc Are people really making $400k a year at $200nl. Give me a [censored] break. [/ QUOTE ] Nobody playing 40 hours/week plays NL200 for a year. Hardly anyone at NL200 makes $200/hour. And finally, poker players don't play 40 hours/week. Anything else?

But I'm glad someone finally elected a person to speak on behalf of ALL poker players. Oh yeah, there is one more thing...can you teach me to be a smug as you?

[/ QUOTE ] very few individuals (don buttons) can play poker for >40 hours a week. it is much more mentally draining than a "normal" job. i would venture that despite playing 40 hours a week you don't get in very many hands. playing 6-12 tables is a lot more difficult than 1-2 tabling for a longer time. that's why most people on this forum don't talk as much about hours, but # of hands. the numbers are entirely reasonable. just because you are unable to do something, don't assume other people can't. also, you're not going to get good responses acting like a douche.

Re: *The Definitive Hourly Rate Thread*
for whatever it's worth I easily play > 40 hours a week, but even though a good chunk of my time the past few months (until this month with the MTT challenge) has been 6-9 tabling nl cash, I don't think I could sustain 40+ hours of that. I'm going to try to add more nl cash hours when this chllenge is over, but I think to sustain 50 hour weeks I'll always need some stt/mtt/plo/stud8.
Detox, I guess you could call it. It's much much easier for me to play a few hours of cash and then wind down with a session of sit and goes or a few multis than to play cash for 8 or 9 hours in a day. Cash nl has to be the most mentally draining form of poker, except for mid/high stakes plo. Generally, (I realize I'm not the first person in this thread to say this), just because $X/table hour x y tables x z hours = eleventy billion dollars and people can make $X/table hour and people can play y tables, and people can play z hours, very very few people can do all three. And the people that can make a lot of money fast and move up until they reach a point where they lose their ability to kill at least one of the three pieces of that equation. Except for a very very very very few like the top hsnl machines.
