100/hour is by no means the average winrate for all the TAG 5/10 winners. There's quite a few TAG Aria grinders, but most of them play pretty basic and make maybe half that (just a guess). They don't play 10/20.
There's under 10 people who would be in the biggest winners group. It's actually something that's been talked about recently, and that 100/hour figure gets mentioned repeatedly. Maybe a couple of the players have (theoretical) true winrates that are a little lower.
But I think it's reasonable to say "if you're consistently one of the very best players in your 5/10 game, and you play a good amount of 10/20 and are a solid winner at 10/20 as well, then you can expect to make around 100/hour at 5/10."

At 1200 hours/year (which is less than 25 a week), you can game select A LOT and also maintain your A game pretty much every session I'd imagine, coming in fresh and not staying too long. I guess I always assumed this discussion was based on playing full time (40 hours/week)...
That's a fair point, although I think the depressed hours are more due to lazyness than game selection. Personally, I don't game select too much; obviously I stay in really good games, and I'll head home early sometimes if the game sucks or I'm tilting. But for the most part I play the same hours on the same days somewhat regardless of the game situation. And the other capable nits do the same.
If you're on the strip early in the day and trying different casinos and really game selecting hard, you can get a strong boost to your hourly. But none of the people I'm talking about do that.

Having said that, you know a decent amount of people who have won like 360k over the past 3 years playing 5-10? And then you would prob have to know some who have won signif more to make the number accurate IMO, if there are some who have won signif less.
3 of the top Aria 5/10 players are black friday refugees. I guess I'll get back to you in another 18 months.
