Keep in mind that Prahlad may be the single biggest cash game winner in the history of online poker. I'd guess his roll is 5-10x your $3 million figure.

I have a hard time believing he has a 15-30 million dollar roll. Only a handfull of people have 20 m plus rolls.

And on a $20 million roll that would be entirely accurate.

It was him that threw out the $8 million dollar number, not me.

When the railtards were yelling at him he fired back like 2 days ago said he had a 5 million dollar roll. Don't know if he's full of crap or telling the truth.

KKF's posted winrate implies an annualized winrate of $1-2 million if I recall correctly. This was at 10/20 with a ~2.5 PTBB/100 hand rate.

Prahlad has been playing in the biggest online NL games for as long as possible (and logging some serious hours) and I'd say his winrate (PTBB/100) is at least that 2.5 figure. It's not a stretch to me at all to think that Prahlad has been making $5-7 million a year for the past 3-4 years.

How is that possible considering most of the larger games went up 50/100 NL+ in the last year. I know a 25/50 NL game was going on when I was in college on UB (about 2 years ago) and that was barely full most of the time. I can't see him making that kind of money over that period.

Wouldnt surprise me if zweig had a 20 million roll. He doesnt act like a degenerate gambler who plays above his bankroll and he has destroyed 25/50+ since 3 years ago atleast.

You guys are right...hes got a 30 m dollar roll.

4 years of play at the 50/100
30 hours a week @ 50 weeks a year = 6000 hours
say 200 per hour = 1,200,000
say 300 per hour = 1,800,000

3 tabling?
@ 400 per hour = 7.2 m

the handful would include the biggest cash game players in the world. Ivey, Reece, brunson etc...

30-100 m for the biggest players is a guess and I would suspect many including harman and chan are on the low side. Pure speculation.

Your high end estimate of $300/hr is way too low. You realize you can make $100+/hr multitabling 1/2 NL right?

Prahlad friedman does not have a 30M roll.


You don't understand how poker earn works. Prahlad is closer to being 5M in debt than he is to 30M.
