How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing poker?

i can only speak for the limit side of things.

there are tons of people who have the hourly rate to make 250k, but just wont end up putting in the necessary hands. im not even talking about unreasonable 50 hour work weeks. even 30 solid hours of 4-6 tabling is something that becomes a huge drag. i could have kept pace for 250k if i was pushing in 50k hands a month, but somewhere along the line, 50k hands turned into 40k, which turned into 30k.


it's very possible to do it at the lower midstakes, but is unlikely to happen unless you're extremely dedicated and very hard working. i cant see the number exceeding 250 (for limit hold em).
