Default Re: How much $$ do the top online players earn?

it's hard to say from the 2+2 community who's pullin g down big bucks. i know it ain't me. i'm with the guy trying to make enough for the mountain dew at the quicke mart.

in "ace on the river" barry g. says that playing online at the 150-300 level for 40 hours a sweek with a marginal advantage over the game(i think he said 2%advantage) you should make $150k per MONTH! he said that's what he would expect from a 'pro' that played at the highest stakes online. that puts you at $1.8 million a year.

that seems like crazy talk, but he did the numbers to back it up. he also said that wasn't good enough for him so he has to play live so he can make some real cash.

The problem is these games don't even run all the time, and it's very difficult to put in 40 hours a week at these limits. That said, the top top players who put in 40 hours a week are definity going to make over a million a year. Hell, putting 40 hours a week you might be able to pull a million in the party 2k games.
