How much $$ do the top online players earn?

[I am fish]

I suppose those running bad would be less likely to continue.

This is silly logic. Shouldn't there be just as many people who can make that much EV-wise but are running bad as those who are running good?

i talked to schneids...his reasoning is as follows:

include only those that can (expect to) and (actually) do make over X amt /year.

his memorable quotation to me was "2p2 comprises a bigger portion of the winning players than you're willing to give credit for"

that said, im still torn b/c 200 seems low and high at the same time (PS, we're talking imo about LIMIT and NL ring game holdem players imo...which shouldn't change much b/c your expectation in the tourney circuit isn't gunna be 100k for the most part)

There is no way in hell this is close to correct. Think of it this ay. Any solid full time pro playing 20-40 limit or higher, 5-10 NL or higher, or $200 SNG's or higher is pulling this in, and there are A LOT more than 200 of these ppl. Also, many players playing lower could consistnetly make over 100k/ year. Now add the good recreactional players who still pull in several hunred and hour, and the figure simply cannot be that low.

Schneids,

At 30hrs/week, you gotta make $60-65/hr to make $100k. You really think less than 300 fullish-time online players are averaging over $60/hr?

how could you name nikla without his life partner lakerman [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[ggbman]

I didn't know lakerman was 2+2?

[Schneids]

Laziness and tedium makes 30 hr/wk an unlikely expectation of most online pros, who are just that because of not liking normal lifestyle expectations. 30hrs/week lmao. Maybe I'll revise my guess to 300-350.

[TStoneMBD]

100k is easy. i could name a ubergiganticload of people from twoplustwo who easily have $100/hr+ winrates. i could name many with $200/hr+ winrates. many with much higher than that still. whether they put the proper hours in is their own prerogative, but many do. 200 100k winners is way way too low.

[CanKid]

The hourly rates are there for big years, but not many can grind away for that long consistently.
