Red, how did you arrive at these figures? Are they just guesses? Your guesses are obviously off, as there are several 6 figure winners at Party poker each month.

The point is... Only the Top 200-300 at Party Poker out of 50,000 SNG players... Are making a "living wage".

Again, where are these numbers coming from. The Leaderboard is composed of players playing MTTTs and SNGs and it would be very difficult to extrapolate much information from that.

Also, the vast majority of players on party are not trying to make a living wage from poker.

The vast majority of "Pro Poker Players"...
Make an erratic "subsistence living" of $1000-$2000/month.
Do that for 10 years and you'll be a divorced alcoholic.

Again, where are your numbers coming from? By trying to extrapolate data from the Party Poker leaderboard, you totally ignore ring game play as well as all the play on other online sites, as well as B&M play.

In "near zero sum" games like stock trading or poker...

Stock trading is not a zero sum game, and as a successful day trader, you should know that!
