I've probably logged as many hours "at the table" as anyone at my stake this year, 2012.
During 2011 I recorded just over 1,400 hours, this past year I played a little more & still have two more weeks. Although I won't quite hit 2,000 hours. My 2012 time was split 80/15/5 between $2/5 & $5/10 & $10/20, during 2011 I played 90/10 $2/5 & $5/10.
The stories of Las Vegas poker players, at the $2/5 level earning $70 per hour long term are neat stories -but just that, stories. I don't know anyone who earned $60 over the course of the year 2012.
$50 bucks an hour at $2/5, over the whole year, more than 1,000 hrs, doubtful. That said, there are different size games, some are capped at $500, others are $1,000-$1,500, so in the higher capped games THE winnest player could earn more than someone playing in the lower capped games -hypotetically.
$40 bucks and hour at live $2/5 in Vegas, yes its posible -however very few do it. I'm not talking a couple hundred hours -which means only playing prime times, I mean working everyday as a job and putting in close to 2,000 hours.
I've heard all of these numbers, and all of the hypothetical speculation -such as "if so-n-so make X per hour and plays X hours per year, they *could make* $$$$... and bla, bla, bla -smoke and mirror bullchit....I'm of the educated, real world opinion that only a small percent of full time $2/5 players earn $25-35 per hour, long term, in today's cardrooms of Las Vegas. 作者: youngtercel 时间: 2013-10-9 16:42
