if I asked you if you were a "winning" poker player (whatever that means), would you need to play 50,000 hands before you could answer

You are not serious are you? Winning 60 /hr/ at 15-30 after 300 hrs at 15 - 30 does not equate to a win rate of 60/hr All it means, if it's true, is that he played his "rush". come back afte 2k or 3k hours and show me the result. Maybe he'll have somehting then. I hear it all the time how these fellows are makeing 250k a year playing 15-30 online. I've never once seen anyone back up those numbers.

Hi Vince:

I would say that $60 per game is high. But I am told that in some games you do get over 80 hands per hour. If that's the case then this number might be achieveable. But the claim of $120 to $200 an hour if you are multitabling does seem achieveable to me.

Best wishes,
Mason

Maybe you missed the point of the last sentence.

He never says that he graduated. I'm sure that escaped you, so I thought I'd point it out.

Really! $200 an hour at 15-30? That's a mere $8,000 (at 8 hours a day) a week. 400k a year. Impressive. Mason, have you been sipping the passover wine again?

You got me Vince, I did miss the point you were making. But i'm pretty sure being admitted to MIT can pretty much stand on it's own merrit. Anybody they admit probably has the ability to graduate and get a degree so i really don't think it's particularly relevant whether or not they actually got one. Didn't you see Good Will Hunting?

I went to Cornell and the smartest guy I've ever met failed out.

can we please get back to arguing how much you can make in the party 15/30 here in the mid-high stakes PL/NL strategy forum?
