Default Re: Settle a bet: How many internet players will clear $1-Mil in 2007?

FWIW, there are 4 25/50 PLO games going just on Stars right now. I think anyone who beats that game solidly should be able to make $1,000,000 a year if they just put in a decent number of hands. Add up all the European sites, and I'd guess that at least 15 to 20 players make over 1MM just from PLO.

Overall, I'd still say that the total number of players winning that much is under 150, but I really doubt it's under 50. Something between 75 and 100 sounds right.

Under 50 for sure. Across all sites there are what, only a few 50-100+ games going on?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's doable at 10/20 and 25/50 though. Probably even 5/10.

[/ QUOTE ]

Samo made 6 million at 10/20!

[/ QUOTE ]
LA is up 600K at 5/10, apparently, so far this year.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who's "LA"? Even assuming a solid winrate of 5 PTBB at 5/10 (basically $1 / hand), you're telling me he's played 600K hands this year (averaging 75,000 / month)??? Sick if true.

I think # > $1M is greater than 25...and certainly under 250. I take under-125 all day long.

[/ QUOTE ]
600k hands in 8+ months isn't a big deal. to many, ( not me) it's slacking.

Dunno the "record", but I'd not be surprised if someone like nations or rainkhan( in SNG's) has played 250k+ in one month.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have always assumed nationz (5/10 on FT? if this is who you are talking about) was a certainly losing player. Am I wron here?

[/ QUOTE ]

def not the same person......nationz is such a clown

Well you could start by listing some of the obvious ones, (sbrugby, bennyamine etc.) I'm sure we could come up with at least 20 that are known to us.

under 20

and those 20 dont include either of these guys

excluding tournaments (MTTs and SNGs) seems very arbitrary to me.

The high stakes datamining available for FTP should settle this bet conclusively. Def. under 50.

I don't think so. It would be a good amount of them - but depending on what you consider high stakes, I think there are probably some MSNL or $2K NLH/PLO guys that would reach this mark. You are also leaving out a few other important sites here, ldo.
