Also if your games are straddled quite a bit you aren't exactly playing 2/5 all the time. Like if your regular game is 2/5 with a 1k buyin and lots of straddles and acceptable action then north of 50 is definitely achievable.

For the best players in the room.

You're literally ******ed to think that there would be an army of 8bb/hr winner in a player pool anywhere in this world, and to also suggest that there's a horde of even bigger winner in the same pool.

Simple question, where do you think the money is coming from?

You're doing a fine job sir, and I am not knocking on your accomplishment, but rather to point out that if you (someone else in this forum) work hard, you could come close to the same WR.

I'm currently relistening to the eightfold path by tommy angelo. I am from now on going to play mum poker and not comment on any plays or players even if they are acting ridiculous or try to defend myself from somebody being a tool.

I don't even know why I still talk to you. You are obviously lacking some screws that make us normal.

You said that $40/hr (8bb/hr) is simply par depending on the room. Par suggests that it's nothing and there's bunch of players able to accomplish the same thing.

Tell me where in this world you can find a pool with bunch of players winning 8bb/hr and another "elite" pool of players winning even more.

63 weeks seems like a really short time, I guess that 7 hours a day is a ton though. Not sure how you could focus that long each day.

I keep hitting walls in my Chinese so I'm super jealous of anyone who can pick up languages well.
