True Win Rate thoughts: Why can\'t I be a NL200 pro?
I don't necessarily mean me but I mean anybody. I'll use my own stats as an example of what I mean. Nevermind the fact that I've only logged 9,000 hands at NL200 since this is just an example. A good player should be able to replicate these numbers after 50k or 100k hands. So why can't a good player be a pro making a SICK income off the NL200 fish? I never realized how much money can be made from just the 200 tables until I checked out my True Win Rate on PT today. Here are my stats after 9389 hands at NL200 on Party:
BB/100: 8.57 MT Ratio: 2.58 table hours: 50.45 True Win Rate: $63.76 So let's say that over the course of year someone makes slightly less than this...let's say $60/hr and plays 40 hours/week for 50 weeks (2 weeks vacation) then that's $120,000/year salary just from the 200 tables. Increase your MT ratio or improve your BB/100 and it goes up even more. Beat up the NL400 tables for 6bb/100 and you're probably talking close to a $200,000 annual salary. What am I missing here? Is this right? |

1. 40 hours of poker a week 50 weeks is an insane amount of poker, have fun with that
2. if you play that much your winrate will drop off from burnout, exhaustion |

thats only over 9K hands, which is nothing. 25 is still not enough.

I'm sure other successful players log more. Yeah, burnout is a factor and I've had to strike a tough balance between rest and poker to stay focused. |

The calculations are correct though? 8BB/100 = ~$60 and hour or per 100 hands. Anybody wanna agree with this?

Yep that's true, being a poker player can be very profitable. 120k+ a year is what the good players are making playing those stakes. A friend of mine is a top 10/20 NL player and he's up 430k for the year. Another friend of mine started poker 1.5 years ago and has made 330k so far. I however am an ingrate compared to them and I'm stuck at the .5/1 NL tables =(
PS. I should probably add that their stories are going to be the exception to the rule 99.999999% of the time. |
