1400 hands / hr??!
guess i was way out of my element.

I don't care to do the math, but what does a winning 50NL regular who plays 150,000 hands / month make in such a month?

about $60 and 48247523 FPPs I think.

Best month was like 6-7K. Worst like 2K. Time for another shot at 100NL soon [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

And maybe 1400 was a bit too high to be true. 12tabling ya can avg a bit over 1K/hr. I'm sure 12/10 nits like Soldatti and piscogay could easily do 16+ tables.

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.

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

Anyone who makes 10€/hr?

I was friends with a guy who worked for Bodog and could see player statistics. He said basicly noone made >$250K per year on that site.

I think a good midstakes grinder can run at 5PTB/100 with almost no table selection at 2/4 and probably 4/100 at 3/6.

1000-2000 sounds about right to me. I think lots of the $25/50+ guys play on multiple sites so there are probably less of them then we think but they are making more like $1M+ per year. Count tourney donks too... just winning the Sunday Million is like $250K right? probably a lot of people made +$250K this year that are -EV at 1/2NL.

Even a 12 tabling 1/2nl player with a weak winrate could clear 250k.

If he plays just 5 hours a day (3 when waking up, 2 before bed, not that hard....still leaves him like 10 hours in the day to do whatever). That's 180k hands a month.

180k hands a month with a winrate of even 2ptbb/100 = $14,400 in profit at the tables. Rakeback on FTP for example would be 27%, making his rakeback per month $7k for net profit per month of $21,400.

Comes out to $256k a year. Might seem far fetched on the surface but playing 5 hours a day on avg if you're serious about the game isn't all that far fetched.

So someoen 6 tabling at 2/4 nl with a decent winrate shouldn't be having a hard time clearing 250k. Guess the question though is how common is it to have a decent winrate at 2/4nl.

[sdfsdf]

lol, there isnt a single 1/2 player who has made $250k in a year

[Rainclouds]

I even doubt if there is a single player who plays 180k hands a month and wins.
