Why do people who only win 1bb/100 think they can go pro?

1BB/100 at 5/10 and the authors 250 hands an hour is equal to $25 an hour.

I think 1bb/100 with 250 hands an hour is poor. If you were playing 500 hands an hour at 1bb/100, that's acceptable, but 250 hands is 3 tables of 6 max, or 4 tables of full ring. Being able to play 8 tables of full ring or 5-6 of 6 max is essential to being pro at 5/10ish limits, I think, because then you can hit the "50-60k" goal (his goal) with 3-4 hours of play a day. Statistics say that people are only "on" for about 5-6 hours of their workday. At most, that should be the amount of time you are playing poker a day if you want even close to solid play.

I play bad though so I have to make do with the skills that I have. Each and every month I am thrilled if I am at 1 BB/100 in ring games and 10% ROI in SNG's.

I call [censored] on the fact that everyone that reads 2+2 is at 2.5 BB/100 like most claim and 20% ROI on SNG's. I put forward that in limit poker anything over 1.5 to 2.0 is just running very very good.
