i failed math @ high school, go figure lolol

In 2008, WCGRider made a prop bet that he could win $10,000 in one month at 25nl. He is a terrific player and was playing well above 25nl at that time. Here's the thread that covered the event.

This coda pretty much says it all.

Today, 25nl is far tougher than it was in 2008.

Tell that to James Grosjean. Next you'll claim that no one can make money at video poker.

this was over a year ago. im guessing this would not be possible now.

I would say it is fairly likely that quite a few people could make around $100/hour at 50NL, but obviously they will move up after a few days of doing that.

It' either highly improbable or impossible judging by the winnings of supernova elite players. The typical supernova elite player earns $100K in rakeback and 0 in winnings by grinding 30 tables 40 hours a week which is $50/hour. I doubt that anyone already willing to commit to that much grinding would be abe to earn twice as much simply by improving their game or switching sites. They are already doing all they can to maximize their winnings and concluded $50/hour is the max. Don't forget if you fail to make supernova elite the same grinder will only make $25/hour!

50nl hu grinders can make $100+ an hr... if a skilled multi tabling hu player grinded 50nl 4-8 tables at a time im sure he can achieve $100+ an hr... in full ring or 6max its less practical

not in true hourly, the 50nl hu players with high hourly in HEM are bumhunters who play 2mins, sitout and wait for an other huge whale.. in 1 day of 6 hours their HEM might show 40mins played.


Of course if a real hu pro who is good against good regs drops down to 50nl and plays on multisite to be sure to get enough action from the terrible regs bread at 50nl or fish, he would make 100$ an hour quite easily.

LOL!

I love how people are saying this would be really simple to do, and yet we have zero recorded instances of it happening even once. I have gone 68-47 for $750 in profit this week. 59% winrate (heads up sng) And I'm only getting $54.54/hr played. For $100/hr to be attainable after 115 HUSNG's you'd have to win 75 out of 115 which is 65% wins. That is nearly impossible unless you're only playing really bad donks, and you'll be waiting around for many hours more.

This.


The 8bb win rate or whatever he posted was def a heater and is not sustainable.

source - 500k+ hands of nl50 rush in my database from the last year.

You are underestimating how easy it is to get action at NL50 HU. You can pretty much be 2-6 tabling vs. fish nonstop playing only on 2 networks. So if you are US player you can just play on PS+FTP and still get decent amount of action.

Still $100/h would require maintaining a really good winrate while regularly playing 3-4 different opponents. It's really far from easy and most of the people capable of doing it would probably maximize their hourly doing something else (eg. bumhunting small/midstakes)...

But anyway, if somebody tries to achieve $100/h winrate at NL50, multitabling HU is probably the most reasonable way to do it.

My lifetime winrate at 6max at 200nl is over 4ptbb over 3 years

I play 7-12 tables and most of the time i have 2-3 hu tables starting vs weak regs or fish

Everytime i have tried to play 6-8 tables of nl50 hu(fun-bored-challenge), i have gotten crushed by having too many weird different players, with too many different stack sizes and having a bunch of weird weak regs sit with me and play super high variance non thinking aggro hu.

It would be a very hard feat..

i feel that the only way this is doable in USD $ would be to play 16-20 tables on a site with 60%+ rb and rakeraces.. even then it would be quite close.. probably would end up getting 90$ an hour. (have to keep 3ptbb+ over 500k hands playing too many tables)

that is so sick to achieve that much of a winrate mbsmfn lol i am probably doing the wrong thing then.

Article you are talking about is an absolute absurd.

Carl Sampson has trying to establish his credentials as an expert for years but he does not appear to be very good at poker. This results in some hilarious articles. They can be found on The Hendon Mob website, who publish them in all seriousness. "Self-hypnosis - the silent enemy" is a particular favourite of mine.

sick bump

LOL TROLL much :P. if the man is making a profit, i dont think he cares if your hating on him.

huh?

1000 tabling ftw

Thought I would add this quote from Carls blog Oct 3 2012:
"I have been playing $0.01-$0.02 lately "

lol

Wonder how the diet went.

I'm sure it probably goes something like..

'been eating a lot of McDonald's recently'

in 2013 100/hr playing poker is very, very hard to come by. I don't even want to guess what percentage of players that played 1 hand in 2012, made 100/hr.

I agree... unless you are playing > 25/50
