" while many full time pros have a lot less better things to do with their time then play shittons of hours."


Yes...I agree with this.


think of the tourney leader types on Stars.

What would you think is the number of people who put in more than 50 hours per week on Party or Stars??
I bet it's pretty high.

While layness and the inability to get in the hours is an issue for some....others are simply addicted to this stuff and put in 50 or 60 hours or more per week.

Pretty pathetic? Yeah, maybe. That's a LOT of hours.
But they are definitely people who are doing this.


I think that Schneids was correct we he said perhaps he should have made the cut-off $150k instead of $100k THEN saying 200 players might be not too far off.


but $100k isn't THAT far-fetched for a lot of players.

Lets just look at 25 hours a week though:

1250 hours per year (50 wks).
So that would be $80/hr for $100k.


If you can make a little more than 1BB/hr per table while 8-tabling 3/6 then that's $40/hr.
This might only be a win-rate of 1.3BB/100 really.

Tack on some rake-back and bonuses for perhaps another $25/hr (that's just another $3/hr per table for rake-back) and you're most of the way there to $100k a year.

And this is just 25 hours per week at 3/6 for a $65/hr rate for $80k!!
Up this to 31 hours and you have your $100k.


As Sklansky mentions in SSHE...making $50k a yr at 3/6 is not a big deal.
Thus making $100k/yr at 5/10 isn't so impossible either. And if you can 8-table 3/6 then it's even do-able down that low too.


I think there are plenty of disciplined players with good rake-back deals who are pulling in close to that $100k range.
but maybe most of these are really in the $75k-$90k range and I'm just generously rounding up for them.
