No longer pro. Have any questions?

just curious, are you gonna continue to post?

Yes.

Did you play all online or did you play some B&M?

Less than 1% of my hands were played live. I played live only for variety/poops and giggles with 2+2ers.

Why or why not?

500 hands/hour online vs. 30 hands/hr live.

In order to achieve the same earn at the same winrate I would have to play something close to 60/120 live.

I don't know.

Here's one I do know: What was the name of the Nazi Party's weekly newspaper?

Odds you'll end up playing for a living again?

Let's see.... 150k hands of 3-6. I'll go with 2BB/100, so that would mean you made about $18,000.

Since he won't post his win rate, let's have some fun speculating.

So he says 60/120 live... let's use the 1bb/hr conventional wisdom benchmark... that's $120/hr. Divide by 5 (@500 hands/hour) that's $24/100 hands or 4bb/100.

He did say "close" however, so let's roll that down a bit... say 3.75bb/100. Let's also account for a little exagerration as most humans are wont to do.

I'm going to put bison on 3.6bb/100. Anyone disagree?

An expert winrate at 60/120 is not 1 BB due the general increase in the level of play. It's probably closer 3/4 BB an hour or maybe even 3/5 BB.

You misunderstand my comparison.

8 tabling online = 15-20 hands/2 minutes
live = 1 hand/2 minutes

so for live play to earn the same money at the same winrate you have to play 15-20 times higher stakes.

Haven't bought it yet. Taking this month basically off may mean I won't buy it til April.
