Default You guys that play 30,000+ hands/month

Are you all pros? Or college students?

If not, how are you getting so many hands?

3 tables of 6 max = 300 hands/hr.

30,000 hands = 100 hrs, or 25 hrs/week. Not much more than a part time job, especially if you can spread it over 7 days.

4 tables of full ring = 240 hands/hour

30000/240 = 125 hours

125 hours/4 weeks = 31.25 hours/week

But do you have a regular job too?

I get like 350 hph, but I usually can only fit 50 hours of play in per month.

This month I got 73, which was a record.

Way back when I was a grad student (3 weeks ago), I was averaging around 17k hands per month.

I'm a college student 8-tabling 2/4. It's not THAT hard to get the hours in.
