Delusional people itt

Probably only top 5% of people in a player pool can make > 50$/hr. This is pure conjecture but I just don't see it.

He knows far more than what we know, or at least at this moment in time.

I give him benefit of doubt that he had a read of sort.

Did you not see that HTJ's win rate is less than $50?
07-02-2012 , 11:47 AM
both are good.

Pretty sure my phone tells me who was quoted btw

You use the iPhone 2+2 app?

Don't make me screenshot it and call you a fool for implying that I am.

I thought we had enough of win rates?

I'm really interested to see SABR's winrate in 500 more hours and 1000 more hours. Not saying anything bad, just real curious as to what it will be. My personal belief is that it will drop slightly (somewhere in the mid to high $60 range), but I could be very wrong. And of course if everyone is still around here next year I would love to see a collective win rate and a side by side comparison of each year.

Plus 50/hr is fair. Until you are at 80/hr consider yourself a par player

I am also talking about higher than 2/5, we know 50/hr at 2/5 is crushing.

$45 per hour is pretty dam good, $72 is hard to comprehend, but possible for a snaky LAG.

I would share my WR if my player pool isn't so small.

Par is not Pro these days, so 80 is so, so, get a day job.

This is an example of a delusional player, please don't cite me as one of such.

So you are not delusional? Got some proving to do.
07-02-2012 , 11:53 AM
I read in context that you were responding as if I lied about the fact that my phone didn't?

Isn't "delusional" a standard psychological condition for most posters on this forum?

I think $45 is really good, but not unattainable if you only play on weekends with good table selection skills.

I said > 12bb/hr is sick, and especially at 1000+ hours in less than a year, which means that he isn't playing mostly weekend games.

We are nowhere close to the same perception on these WR.

my phone displays the person who was quoted.

no context.

To any level of fluency, just Arabic and German. I have smatterings of other languages, and can fake my way through most of the Germanic languages, such as Dutch, but I sound like Tonto when I try.

I learned Arabic at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. 63 weeks of Arabic, 7 hours a day +homework, so I oughta be good at it. I've spent a lot of time (~2 years) in Saudi Arabia, and a bit in various other Arabic countries, mostly in the Persian Gulf region.

Had a nice session last night. Up a BI. Would have been 2, but suck-out king hit a 4-outer and a 2-outer OTR when all in pre to crack my QQ with A9 and my AA with K7.

Been so busy lately I'm averaging one session a month. Yuck! definitely hard to overcome variance with so few hours. Still, at least I'm back in the black for the year now.

@Instinct what stakes do you play? 80 an hour is crazy.
07-02-2012 , 12:00 PM
Listen to be at 50 $/hr you need to be the best player at the table almost all the time which means you are top 10% by definition and likely need to be top 5% to overcome random variance of having other "good players" at your table

Anything north of 50 I would chalk up to running good or good games with deep stacks

You cant simply factor weekends/stakes.

You have to add location, player skill, max-buy-in/minimum, effective stacks, Heros skill.

Sometimes 40/hr under the right game is a par wr, it is why I try not to even discuss it. You guys manage to get a boner over it for some reason.
07-02-2012 , 12:01 PM
I agree 11t.

Not high enough to win 80, some day.

I play on weekends only (almost exclusively). I average about 20 hours per week (2-3-5).
