Ok.. do the math... Please tell me how long it would take to build even 5k...

Starting at .01 winning a HEALTHY 3 bb/100 and playing 1k hands per week..

Moving up in stakes to next limit once you have 400 bb as a bank roll....

lets see the math, and that assuming HE NEVER has a losing streak.

The people supporting this are absolute fools, I would venture to say that anyone supporting this argument is playing no higher than 3/6....

And if your playing 3/6 or lower...
1. You arent a good player
2. You arent earning much of a living from poker


I would think you could probably collect 10 cans per hour (50C per hour) and maybe stumble accross a nickel or dime on the streat in that time as well...

SO unless you are making 60 bb/100, my argument and logic are correct that you would be better off collecting cans for a bankroll.


BTW, you guys are morons

If the OP is a winning player at 1 cent 2 cent, and enjoys playing it, then playing online poker at 1 cent 2 cent versus playing World of Warcraft, or Civilization 4, or whatever the kids are playing these days is +EV for him, and +Utility as well. Would you be ripping into this guy so much if he admitted that he just plays play money for fun? I am however against this for a different reason. Its goinig to sting very badly if this kid works his way up to a few hundred, and then finds out that he can't cashout because he's underage.
