Sure, that's what entitled means, but you didn't really answer his question. You left out the most important part - tilt.

Your number isn't that far fetched.

Well, that's kinda my point: being one of the top players in your pool isn't exactly easy, especially if that pool (like most pools) evolves over the years.

Basically, a random asked how easy it would be to make $1000 a week at 1/2. I guess the answer is: super easy... so long as you are one of the best players in your pool and can stomach/maintain 40 hours a week of poker.

As in I could make $25/hr in your game or I couldn't?

If I had to pick between 1/2 $300 cap evenings and 2/5 $300 cap afternoons I think I'd want the 1/2. Interested in your opinion on that one.

Bad choice of words. I was in middle of hand.

I was just saying good job and that such WR is attainable.

I made conscious choice to not put poker in front of anything, and that allowed me to play as best as I can.

Meh, weak. Just do what you are gonna do - which is post useless, obvious drivel instead of something intelligent.

I have found that entitlement in that form happens a ton in loose actiony games. Generally when there is at least one whale and several loose fishy players. Solid players seem to suddenly uncork and go bananas...you can almost see the wheels coming off right before it happens

when you get that urge just ask yourself WTF are you doing? Then stop. Then know that these guys are going to tilt it off at some point, or if they are a whale/funplayer they are going to give it up...and hopefully you will be there to catch it...but in the long run you are not going to make those silly mistakes and your w/r will reflect it.

in blackjack we used to call it the death of 1000 nicks. Its not a single small error that kills you - but the culmination of tons of little ones that do. It is the same thing in poker.

2+2 is filled with mostly losing players just like the real world.

When I'm going good and I'm about to do something senseless I am able to pause and ask myself if whatever emotion that's driving my impending spew is worth whatever $ amount it will cost. We always say to think of the chips as bb and not money but in that one instance it served me well to look at it as actual dollars.

I wanted to get a Infiniti Q 50. I have about 10k saved for it already, but would be rad to buy it with strictly poker funds. I dont have 40 hours a week to play, but maybe 25 x 25 x 52 would get me fairly close. Is that a realistic winrate for someone who used to beat 10/25 cents online on pokerstars?

It makes me wonder how life issues affect people's win-rates. I've been having a lot of stress recently (not sure why men get the bad rep. Women can be just as careless/insensitive/cruel) and it has definitely been affecting my play, but I've also been running like a god to compensate. In the past three months my roll has doubled from $20k to $40k.

It's possible. But only you (based on your prior history) know if you are actually capable of it.

What has a greater impact on winrate, standard raise size at the table, or stack size? I have a 2/5 game that has an average raise size of $20-$25 +5 per limper. But, it's a 200-500 buyin and most people buy in minimum or close to it. Players also tend to nurse very short stacks instead of rebuying. I also know a 1/3 game where most people buy in for $300 and not a lot of players maintain short stacks, and the average raise size is about $12-$15. Wondering where my time is better spent.
