Hey Sponger, just like you, I have no clue how much anybody makes per hour. I don't even know how much I make per hour, so how could you know who makes more or less than I do?

FMP.

Also, to actually answer James282's question. Yeah, it was just a guess. But uh, doesn't it seem likely?

Anyhow, people like bicyclekick and james282 make "seriously big money", I guess you kind of need to lose the value of money to play like that.

I have no idea exactly how much these two guys make, but there are certainly many people in the top 50 (or whatever) list of what 2+2ers make per hour that are in between and above them in rank.

I guess you just listed them because they are some of the most high profile? I dunno...

These are the only two guys i know of who play like, big stakes(Bicycles posted some PT $ stats) and i've seen some discussion about james's winnings/Level.

Don't want to repeat unless i got it wrong/Chinese whispers etc.

Yeah, your probably right... others who keep hush may make HUGE BUCKS and just want to keep it quiet to not attract unwanted attention/pms and whatever else.

I consider 100K to be pretty big cash though.

I mean, I am sure that there are people on this board who have a higher hourly than I do. Some of these people play as much as I do and therefore make a lot more $ than me. Some of these people play a lot less and therefore probably don't. I can think of a few guys I know personally that could easily make as much or more than I do but who barely play at all because of other reasons(these people are "pros" too fwiw), but you'd never know it from reading the forum. There are also people who have had big tournament scores who have pulled amounts that make my winnings seem meager. I guess my point is, I have pretty intimate knowledge of a lot of the top earners on this site's winnings for the month/year whatever just through conversation with them and I still have no clue where I stack up. I have no clue how much I've made this year! I'd be very interested(just for the sake of curiousity) to have a compiled list of all 2+2ers winnings/hands for the year just to see if people are really putting their money where their mouth is, and if there really is THAT much money in online poker. But alas, these options are not available, so I suppose all we really have is guesswork in threads started by people who wonder if it's possible to make 100k in a year haha.

can you make 50k, 100k+ per year in PROFIT?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am up over $50K net this year, but not all of it is PROFIT.

I spent most of it on beer, pot and hookers.
