how long does it take to get to elite playing 6max cash?

it doesnt matter what stakes cuz the rake maxes at $2, right?

can it be done in 180 days?

It can't be done in 180 days no way Jose. It does matter a little that you play biiger games because the rake caps at $3 and it gets there guicker the higher you play. The PS VIP manager said I earned them at as high or higher rate than anyone and I started trying to do it mid April and it looks like I will finish it on the last couple of days of the year.

If you play limit holdem then that changes everything. You get points way faster there if you play at least mid limits.

leather ass has been playing pretty extensively since April... and he's also playing 6max cash games and he things it's the worst poker decision he's ever made. For your sake I hope this is not another prop bet idea. I have a friend who made SN in 14 days of non stop griding sngs. but it was like 15 hrs a day. So if you keep up with that, it's possible to do it in that time period. As someone once said, most anything's possible... but hardly ever probable... goodluck run hot; and run hot

EDIT: wow, he beat me to it.. that's how much he's hating it... lol

Is leatherass TheBryce? Or are they just two separate people who both think it's the worst decision they have ever made.

About 130-150k a month at the mid/high limit NL cash games.

I was the one who said it was the worst decision I've made. Bryce is a different person and is not trying to get elite whatsoever. I think there may have been some confusion there for whatever reason.

I have played 41k hands and lost money. 99.9% of the poker playing population will never play that many hands in their life.

what??

cmon, thats like saying 99.9% of people owning a gun have never shot anyone. While thats true its a pretty empty statement cause 99.9% of those people never intended to.

41k hands is nothing to anybody who takes poker seriously. And what you are talking about doesnt apply to those who dont, because they run "terrible" all the time and lose money.

I hope this doesnt come across as a random thoughtless flame. I respect, envy and look up to you in many aspects but I do think some of what you have written there is a quite subjective.

yeah its subjective, the guy is expressing his feelings after a bad run. He is physically and mentally exhausted from trying to do what few people have managed to accomplish in a shorter amount of time than anyone ever. So ill forgive him for not being 100% objective

gogogogogogo leatherass, youve come so far that quitting now would be a travesty. Grind it out, and you can really feel youve accomplished something when its over

I have completely disabled chat to the point where I can't chat nor can I see chat. So I do sit when I'm "not supposed to" sometimes.
