One more thing I'll mention.

You guys seem to think donkament winners all of a sudden win regularily? I wouldn't doubt if half the players who manage to cash donate it more about half the winnings back if not all.

I guess I misinteprated the question. I thought it was saying how many players consitantly win year in and year out 250,000+ ...

Sure you have the players who win donkaments, but they eventually gambooool it back or invest.. Doesn't mean they win that much yearly.

I think this is a good point when describing the WSOP winners or whatnot that luck into a huge payout. I'm sure some of them end up donating it back. But probably not a huge percent. 250k is a lot of money -- I don't know how many winning players are going to luck into 250k while being mediocre players overall. (Also note that while some crappy players may make more than 250k, some great players with bad luck will make less.)

Also, with online play being what it is, I think a lot of the 250k folks are there not because they're getting lucky at 25/50NL but because they're multitabling 20/40 limit or 5/10NL. Variance is going to play less of a role for these players; if they make 250k in one year, it's unlikely they'll make much less than that in any other.

Smart Money on here makes close to half a mil a year by 12 tabling 1/2 FR. So i suppose a lot of ppl are making 1/4 mil.

That's so sick, but I can see how it's feasible (maybe?) to nutpeddle 10blinds/hour at 12 tables for $240/hr, if you were the king of low limit NL, and didn't go insane after the first 20 minutes. 12 tables . . . you kids these days.

No way, such a huge gap from 250k to 1 mil. I would guess around 1000 people will do that this year. Remember that many people who might regularly make this much donk a nice chunk back playing higher games when they are on life tilt, drunk, etc... such is the life of a poker player...

No way. I'd buy quarter-million, but not half-mil.
