Expected Income from Poker

[mce86]

Let's say you are an established winning poker player. Your winrate per month ranges from 2.9 PTBB/100 up to 7.2 PTBB/100
If you plan to play 30,000 hands per month, you should expect to earn on average the following amounts per month/per level.

Online Pro Expected Monthly Income(30,000 Hands):
NL200: 3480-9480 ($41,000 to $113,760 annually)
NL400:7000-17000 ($84,000 to $204,000 annually)
NL600: 10440-26244 ($125,280 to $314,928 annually)
NL1000:17400-43,200 ($208,800 to $518,400 annually)

Do you guys fine these numbers to be realistic, and is anybody maintaining these over the long term? These numbers seem ridiculously high to me!

I'm sure numerous people are.

Not every winning player is beating the game for ~3ptbb at those levels, either.

Also, do the calcs for 80k hands and get back to me for 400nl, kthx.

These are definitely within reason. Your winrates are pretty high (2.9 PTBB/100 at NL1000 is like, ridiculously excellent and 7.2 and not achievable). 30,000 hands however is easy to triple for people with good work ethic.

Some of these winrates are too high but alot of ppl are putting in way more hands and probably making alot more money than you predict

I think what your describing would be the winrate of a very very good player.......the average winning player would have a range much lower than this I would think....this year my worst month was 2.5 and my best was 5 at limits ranging from 2-4 up to 5-10 nl, and I still feel I'm definitely an above average winning player. but I 8 table, and put in alot of hands (correlation: not always playing my best).

80,000 hand at 2.0 ptbb/100 is 6400. 3.0 would be 9600.
