If you bought a rental house, a couple of duplexes, and maybe the odd quadplex during the good days, then sure. Depends on you effective your strategy in investment was. SEP 401Ks and the like are not liquid, but other savings might provide income to match lost income. I assume that some of us still make money playing poker.
Not me, but other people.
I'm interested in your numbers here. Let's draw a line at $200K and $500K. In from poker income (winnings, rakeback, bonus, etc.) how many primarily LHE players made >$200k and >$500k per year in the following years.1995
I'm going to start on the $200K line with saying that in 1995 the answer was almost none. Fewer than 20? Not 100% sure on that. 2010 would be a ton because SNE was a big hunk of that and some folks who post here both made SNE and a decent WR, right?
