Imagine Enrique getting rid of that mole!

As far as people saying anyone making even 100k from poker would be able to make the same amount of money in the corporate world is ridiculous. Not all top poker players are highly intelligent, and they certainly would not immediately start out at a comparable salary. It would take years and years of hard work to achieve the same earn, and think of the opportunity cost associated with such a sacrifice.

I'd guess (admittedly wildly) that there are a dozen or fewer mtt pros that have maintained a 500K annual win rate over the past 3 years, strictly from online mtts.

I'd be surprised if there was one person who has made 500k 3+ years in a row strictly from online mtts.

Annette_15? She's up nearly $500K so far this year, too.

D,

"the comparison to some corporate employee is ridiculous, especially in the propaganda style way ElD presented it."

It's less a comparison and more an observation.

Too bad you are both pussies and never give action to anyone. Only reason you are making that much money is because of how soft the games were. You should prolly invest all your moneys now and and retire from poker.

But think of the payoff. Making nice money sitting around all day doing little other than read/post on the 2p2 Forums.
