i play not high limits for me

1. Poker and Bonuswhoring is less/ even risky

2. In the moment i make more on the market if you have 200 K its hard to make more with poker

3. Poker is in average -EV ( rakes) the markets +EV /economic growth)

4. 10% is easy possible if you analyse yourself and i dont trade usually i hold a company longer than 12 month ( taxfree then here in germany)

don't forget the people who trade lots, then comission and slippage= the rake.

1. Most likely poker, but all depends on your stock selection, or how you play poker.
2. same as #1
3. Market it easier to beat.
4. ~50k ....profit avg 3-4k a wk

Making 1K/day on 200K (50Kx4) of daily margin buying power, is not "unreasonable", if you know what you are doing!!!
