the price of tommy's services for you are likely to be 5k*(1-.4) or 3k. cost includes lost $ from playing etc. + price.

So, you're saying bike would usually lose 2k playing poker during the time he would spend taking lessons from Tommy? Wow, perhaps he's best off just quitting this poker thing and watching some TV or something.

Ummm ... using 'excludes' doesn't fix the problem. Your 'equation' is terribly flawed no matter how you describe it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Perhaps Barron will explain to us what 5k*(1-.4) means in this context.

It's just amazing to me that peole have such a profound respect for Tommy on this site and they take it so personally when anyone questions his poker ability. Frankly, I have a lot of respect for BK because he is one of the most financially successful posters on 2+2. For me that is it. I would consider paying BK $5,000 (actually would probably do it) , but wouldn't even consider giving a guy that makes less $$ than i do playing poker $$ for my time..

what is tommy charging? 5k.

what is BK paying in taxes (im assuming he pays 40%.)

since this is a poker expense. and BK is filing as a poker player, these costs are deductible from his income tax.

if he pays more than 40%, then simply make 40% whatever % he pays. 1-40% is the net of tax cost of the price charged for tommy's services.

this price EXCLUDES opportunity cost of not playing/travel etc.

maybe i was being obtuse, but i clearly thought at the very least you would know what i was doing el d.
