I'm pretty sure that it was Gdollaz who made the post I reffered to, but I'm not positive. I know SEABEAST plays 400nl-2knl so I don't think it was him who made this post, although he has made similar posts.

I'd say 3-5000.

[/ QUOTE ]
Are you saying right now? Or people who if they got coached etc.. have the ability to? Because honestly given the current conditions of the games there is no way their are 5000 people can beat 5/10

[/ QUOTE ]

what? Are we talking about 1pt/bb winners too?

Id go ahead and say there are 1000 people who can beat it for 3pt/bb +

[/ QUOTE ]

i know there is no way we can prove this, but if 1000 people can beat it for 3 ptbb, across all sites, at this current state, while four tabling, over 500 thousand hands, without playing ONLY when it is all fish, or only playing pure fish hu, i swear to god on my entire life i will cut my whole left arm off

[/ QUOTE ]

Wasn't the screen shot enough in the FTP thread that there are only a handful of people who can beat 6max for >3PTBB longterm. Let alone 1000s.

More than 1000 have the neccesary skills to beat it IMO, however that doesn't mean that it's in their best interests to play that high. For example there's probably a heap of small stakes grinders whose games are at a level where they could eek out 0-1ptbb/100, but with that winrate they'd have such sick downswings/breakeven runs that they would never stick around.

I would suspect that there are many thousands of people across all poker sites earning a living at 5/10 and up. There are probably quite a few high stakes live players that could beat it too.

i've always wondered about stuff like this, but i think its really hard to put a number on it. I guess if anybody knows, its the poker sites, since theyre the ones with the databases and such.

This is a stupid question.

If the whole world tried it, you'd have over $2B. If only 20,000 regular players exist in the poker world, you have < 1000. It's entirely dependent on the field-base.

The REAL question you want to ask is what % of players that try to beat 5/10 could succeed... and you'd have to further define things as well.. i'md runk but i think i talk some sense
