Playing where?inter 300/600?I'm not sure about that number you need a ridiculous winrate to make this much

According to an article in a British newspaper he made £500000-600000 (I don't remember the exact number) on Ladbroke's alone last year, so I wouldn't be surprised if the number is correct.

I believe he's made almost $5 million playing the highest stakes on-line exclusively.

It could be done in a year if you can clear 1.426 BB/hr from a $300/$600 game (assuming you play 16 hours a day, 365 days a year, heh), or equivalently, in two years with that rate playing 8 hours a day.

I don't know what kind of timeframe we're talking about here, but if it's two years or more, it certainly seems possible.

Is there a good source where I can learn more about erik123's history? How are his reported winnings "reported"? Did he announce them or is simply because when you play that high, people watch?

I fail to see how that fact does anything aside from reinforcing my point.

Bonus points for the condescending tone, though.

Yep Erik is salmon on lad. And yes, he has been raping the highest games on Inter for years. Acouple of weeks ago he went on a real tear winning $250k in 3 days. He's a sensational player.
