Does anyone else find it very, very surprising that there are a decent # of responses and only 4 people have made more than $500k in the last 12 months????

the only people who make $500k+/year and say anything in this forum are HSNLers who got bored w/ their [censored] forum.

no way man, we're talking pre-tax. Average 100k hands/month running @ 4ptbb/100 @ the 3/6 and there's over $500k w/out even taking rakeback into consideration. Are all the good msnl players really that lazy that they don't put in 100 hours/month???

a year ago i was playing sng's *shudder*

i had maybe 40k lifetime hands of cash nl under my belt, all at 50x max buyin at party.

poker is much better now. among other things, now i can stop playing with 5-10 minutes notice instead of 45 minutes notice. it felt very antisocial if friends or roommates would turn up at my place and i couldn't stop playing. and making a lot more money doesn't hurt either.

yes?

i think with the games the way they are, doing this is much, much more difficult than it used to be.

And JFish, didn't you have a $100k month??? You have to be one of those who's made $500k, right?

edit: You don't have to answer if u don't want to obv, I'm just very surprised by all of this....

im up ~200k for the year. ive taken a bunch of time off (all of jan and feb, most of march, half of may) so its not a full year for me. theres really really really really little chance for me to hit 500k.
