my guess is that soemthing under 100 ppl on here make under 10k per week. who knows how many really do, lets start a poll!

Tax evasion is a fun hobby. You should try robbing banks while you are at it.

I am (check one of the following)

[ ] one who does make 10k p/wk playing poker
[x] one who DOESNT make 10 k a week playing poker

hope that clarifies things a bit

ps. its prolly more than 5 or 10 IMO, just sheer volume of people on these forums should suggest that its not out of the question to be closer to 100+.

pps. maybe a 1/2 player online multitabling with a deep roll, but certainly not sustainable live or online.

most people who are good enough to make 500k+ a year at anything below 5/10 aren't going to put in the hours to do it.

If you make $10k+ a week, how did you get to where you are today?
What did you originally deposit?
What games did you play while you moved up?
You obviously practise good bankroll management (something I suck at), have you had the same bankroll rules the whole time, or have you taken a massive shot early?

Just a few questions that fascinate me about you guys.

Feel free to brag also, you deserve it.

Everyone is just jibber jabbering about how many people do make 10k a week. How about someone answer his question.

Talking like a bunch of politicians, touching the subject, but not answering the damn question.

no. i mean, one could conceivably win 10k in a week sure, but a) they wouldnt be at 1/2 for long, and b) they would be running hot. Saying that a 1/2 player could consistently bang out 10k/week is ludicrous.

10k a week for 52 weeks means your end of the year graph should be a little over 500k. I only saw a handful of those last year, so I'd say there can't be anymore than like 20 or 30.

i make about that. i got to where i am by dropping out of college, smoking weed and playing mtg/wow all night while living off welfare for like 5 years, until moneymaker came along and miraculously turned my previously worthless gamer skills into absurdly lucrative "talents"

not all pple show off. i think there are prolly a 100 or so who pull that off. alot of pple who do 10k a week dont have work ethic. so they grind 4 months and take the next 4 off or so.

Although I'd agree it's the exception and not the rule, I think there are a lot more than 5 who do this well. Probably at least 50+.

but that means they make 5k/week. to qualify as making 10k/week, you have to make 500k+/year, and do it consistently. Maybe slightly less, everyone has some holidays. When i say make I don't mean be able to make, I mean actually make. Just because someone could theoretically make it at 1/2 playing a billion hands, no one does and no one ever will do it consistently. The number is probably more than 10 imo, but it's not like some ridiculous amount, not every 2/4 grinder is doing it, not even every high stakes player is.

The sample is skewed for obvious reasons.

"HEY GAIS POST UR AWEOSMSES GRAFFS"

losing guy: *sobs quietly to himself while watching goat porn*
winning guy: "MUST GET TO PHOTOBUCKET FASTER AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW AWESOME I AM!!!!11!!1"

When Pokey did that huge study where he collected hand histories for winnings SSNL players, the average winrate was like 10 ptbb, because only those people who felt their winnings were impressive enough submitted their HHs.
