Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
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. |

Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
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. |

Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
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. |

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

There will be a few who play 2/4 nl who have made $250k but not just from 2/4 nl. |

Re: How many people will make more than $250,000 this year playing pok
I think there is a difference between what's possible and what people actually do.
Earlier in this thread I claimed that some 2/4 NLHE HU players could clear 250K this year and someone else replied that players who are capable of doing that would move up, which I think is a valid point. Certainly, it is possible to win 250K at 2/4 nl and some sick human being could possibly do it at 1/2 nl but anyone who is capable of doing it, will NOT do it, because they will move up and win more there. |
