Yep confirmed stupid. Show me exactly where I said it wasn’t doable?

Never claimed you did, but reading isn't your strong suit, you're too busy running successful businesses and bragging about them on poker forums, like a winner of winners.

Read the comments here you could get the impression that having a 40% roi in 10$ or 20$ ABI is pretty doable. Id love to see some of those graphs that arent based on super good run. Maybe its possible on other sites, but even that I doubt.

LMAO

What is that, a little over $100 a day? Sounds amazing . Don’t listen to your family bro chase that dream

I think if you are going to do a bet you have to do it to make it at least 40k in one calendar year. The point of this thread is that its hard to make 40-50K in a year. Not make 20k a year. Theres a lot of people that make 10-20k a year in online mtts but no where near as many that make 40-50k on a regular basis. Also if you haven't ever made 40-50k a year then how can you say its easy?

For the topic: Not hard if you are a decent player, have 10k+ bankroll (and good bankroll management) and play full-time. With less than that it will become much harder to do on regular basis especially considering variance.

Is it still worth it? I doubt it if you don't really like it and if you live in high living standard country and have a chance for good education + job.

Imagine coming onto a poker forum to brag about how successful you are at business when you can't even beat a card game LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Thanks bro I will, maybe one day with all the money and success you've had in your business you too will be able to beat this card game. Probably not though considering you had a decade to do it and you still haven't LMAOOOOO

Actually the point of this thread is making 40-50k a year in MTTs which over a smaller year sample is very difficult, however over 5+ years, it can go like so, 15k, 25k, 40k, 50k, 70k and there you've made an average of 40k a year.

My claim isn't that it's easy, it's that over a long enough period it's entirely achievable if you are willing to put in the work.

Guys keep this Thread about the Topic.

7OAD, there is no way you can know if 70k$/p.a. are "doable" in five years. Having five years of constant profit in MTTs is an achievement of its own these days if you play the avg. bi needed to make 50k$. The current situation doesn't look like the softness of the games is going to go up anytime soon.

I know plenty of Regs that had a couple of five figures months in a year but didn't make 50k.

Lol 70AD posts like an immature shrill little child who refuses to believe the counter view on the legitimacy of his “poker career”

Your “ten years and can’t win” Allegations are stupid. It should be clear anyone playing on their phone doesn’t care about winning. I was a solid winner in MTTs when multi tabling using a PC. Care to escrow on that?

This is a poker forum. Even here sensible posters are pointing out there are many far better career options. You can do what you like, but don’t expect people to pat you on the back for being selfishly degenerate and dumb with your life decisions.

I believe it, in general, however we're talking about possibility.

Congrats, you suck so hard, you literally do an activity NOT to succeed at it, don't know those feels, but good for you man, set low standards, then you can't fail, any more #Winning advice?

Funny because you're the dildo jerking off to "starting a business" reading your posts and yet 80% of businesses fail within the first 5 years, great advice bud.

Please let's escrow, since you think this is so insanely difficult and a big time baller from your insanely successful businesses, you had better be giving me nice ass odds.

idk why anyone is surprised, 7oad just runs solvers for forums posts and picks the worst ones.

hes an idiot

Ya think I’ll give him a miss from now on ....really stupid people are boring

I run two very small businesses with combined less than 10 employees, not insanely successful at all but I obviously never said they were

Keep finding stats that speak to your sense of inferiority and let them make the decisions on your quality of life, maybe poker is for you after all

glgl

Do you even play poker anymore or just do bugmen activities like "reviewing fast food," playing video games and watching tv shows?

I agree you are boring.

I offered to escrow, no response, sad cuz it could've been fun for everyone.

Keep going on forums and then bashing the people ACTUALLY DOING THE ACTIVITY while you are trash at it yourself.

lmfao@the tard who says you need a 115+ iq to make money at this game. you can have an 80 iq and crush. i know a ton of smart men who crush their field and love to donate money at private games. its about how much time you put into the game, and how passionate, how far you are willing to go and how many sacrifices you will make to succeed

I'm fairly certain it's much easier, over the very long term, to average $50k/year by spending roughly 2000 hours per year working towards helping the fabled Nigerian Prince with billions of dollars buried in his yard, extract and wire you some inordinately large sum for your work. It may take a very long time but I'm fully convinced the guy - or at least the "money" exists - and if someone were willing & diligent enough, they could succeed here. It could take more than one normal human lifespan so I'd leave clear instructions for your children.

Poker on the other hand, ... , well, I like the consistency of making money by helping the Nigerian and I'll just play poker for recreation purposes. If I make money, great. If I don't, well I've got the Nigerian Backup Plan. And if that falls through, there's always my Colombian Neck Tie.

Someone mentioned lex lost 200k 2 years ago? Can someone confirm this is true or false? I never watched his stream but did watch his youtube video of him playing. When he streams how many hours does he stream and as of now, he is not a winning player?


If he lost over 200k, where does he get the money then? Does he even sell action? I know he gets paid by stars but how much?

He sells action for overpriced Mark Ups on Stakekings.
He gets ~$1000+ per stream from subscriptions, donations etc.

I am also pretty sure that due to his big audience on twitch, he should have a very very good deal with Pokerstars paying him a lot of money, probably a lot more than other "Team Pro"-Members.

Its easy to lose that much money if you play highstakes in the Winter Series, SCOOP, TCOOP, WCOOP if you dont bink something.

I wouldnt say that hes not a winning player, he definetly improved a lot by the help of bencb, but before he definetly was a losing player. Right now id say hes probably a losing player at highstakes MTTs.

Stakekings part isnt true.He said many times that he dont sell.One time he was stacked by 50% or more for 10k bounty i think but thats all.And i think he gets more than 1000$ per stream depends on how much hours he streams.Lately he tilts easy and quit after 3-4 hours which i dont respect at all ,so this days he dont even get 1000$ per stream,but definetly on sundays or longer streams he gets even more since he get some meaty donations + a lot of subscribers.He also gets money from PS and other products advertised in his twitch page below screen.He can afford to lose this much since i think his bankroll is quite big for the games he plays and he have income ,the - side is that he must pay 30%+ taxes on donations and winnings ...

Is this thread more a reflection that MTTs might not be the most profitable format today or a reflection of general climate in online poker as of 2019?

More like second.Amaya and poker regulations kills poker slowly ,atleast online .If online poker was in one pool for all of the poker rooms except shariah kaliphate muslim ****holes and some asia comunism countries there would be quite a boom and joy.

What is surprising is the amount of work people put in to make a sub-par salary. An outside would expect that the majority of poker players come from countries that they can't find a decent job. Yes someone could make $40k without pension/health insurance and taxes (difficult to justify buying an apt with that money) but the majority of people make as others said maybe $15k.

Now to make $15k you need to put a big amount of effort, stress and strain on your body from the long sitting hours forgetting the most important part: opportunity cost. All this time and effort is *deducted* from time educating yourself to become good in a profession that can set you up for many more years than poker. Poker is volatile and may die anytime due to regulations and other stuff.

In any country that someone lives in even if it's Venezuela, if you put the amount of hours of study, the determination and the iq that is needed, every poker player could become a decent software developer and make *remotely* easily $60k. Not 1 in 100. EVERYONE.

I once thought poker players are smart (including me). I realized that they are vain (including me) and mostly lacking rationality (including me).

There is long term damage from watching Stu Ungar movies and reading up famous pro biographies.

I find software development more tilting than poker, maybe because my people skills are too bad, but anyway, debugging is itself frustrating because all the blame for bugs in my code is on me, unlike poker, where 60-80% of the blame is on the RNG.

On a side note, why not both? Why not develop a GTO dream machine for offline study?
