Piece of Bwillie's post:

100K a year to play 2/5 or 60K playing 1/2 sounds good.
I'm not attacking BWillie for this, because as you can see the way his post is worded, HE didn't say it was possible, it seems he was pointing out that the idea had been touted by others as being possible. Thus, BWillie, don't take offense, this mini 2OutsNoProb rant is not directed at you.
That being said.
Absolute, complete and utter lunacy. I would venture a guess that virtually no one who has ever played the game has made $60,000 cash playing 1/2 NL live in a year. This is insane. Everyone here knows that no one does this. This would be $30 hourly (virutally impossible) for 2000 hours (full time play, very few people actually do this live) Or, it'd be $20 hourly (doable, but by a tiny % of players, regardless of all the lies people spew in the B+M section of this site) for 3000 hours a year (this is 57.7 hours weekly, which is beyond ridiculous and I doubt is done by anyone). Want to meet in the middle? Does $25 hourly @ 2400 hours sound better? Still pretty high on both figures, seems like a tough combo to meet.
Virtually anyone putting in this type of volume or coming near any of these winrates would be off the 1/2 NL tables and have jumped to higher limits, or tournaments, or whatever, anyway. I'd happily be willing to bet that no one here could conclusively prove that they had even one example of someone who cleared $60000 in a calendar year playing 1/2 NL live, this is just comical. I doubt anyone comes even close.
Let's stop dreaming and reinforcing the absurd comments from people with 6 posts who show up here claiming to "crush" live games for absurd winrates
