Title: Yearly Salary Post by: Montinino on March 07, 2008, 12:29:07 PM Hello guys
Just a quick question to those 'professionals'' amongst us. How much would you say your yearly ''salary'' from poker is. As in how much profit do you actually take a year so to speak. Just curious really of the amounts fo money your actually making and the stakes you play at Title: Re: Yearly Salary Post by: boldie on March 07, 2008, 12:32:29 PM Hello guys Just a quick question to those 'professionals'' amongst us.

How much would you say your yearly ''salary'' from poker is. As in how much profit do you actually take a year so to speak. Just curious really of the amounts fo money your actually making and the stakes you play at no disrespect my friend..but..would you walk into an office or party and ask the same question to everybody that worked there? How much money do you make and what do you actually do? Boldie has this spot on. Firstly im not sure anyone is going to come on here and say because (a) It may come across as a brag post (b) Though poker players tend to be more open about earnings (even if in some cases it is quite distant from the truth), declaring yearly earnings is a touch personal. (c) The games are changing so rapidly online that estimating winrates is a sod. With abit of googling, searching though blogs you will find some sensible answers. If you want to see some bragging mainly from our us friends, 2p2 is your best bet. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=89877&highlight=2007+graphs Title: Re: Yearly Salary Post by: kinboshi on March 07, 2008, 02:52:09 PM Longy earns MILLIONS.

Title: Re: Yearly Salary Post by: kinboshi on March 08, 2008, 12:38:01 PM Are there any threads that show 1m + losing graphs. That would be so much more ballin' and impressive. Was reading about a young player (forgotten his name, but that doesn't matter - someone will know it) who just played Phil Ivey on the Thunderdome table and dropped $500K in the session to Ivey. Don't have the magazine to hand, as I was reading it at DTD. It was saying in the article that this player had won $4 million in a 12 month period, secured a sponsorship deal with FT, but then went on a losing streak and is now in the red. That's a hell of a losing streak. Title: Re: Yearly Salary Post by: neeko on March 08, 2008, 12:52:40 PM Prob Niki 'KaiBuxxe' Jedlicka

I do not think he is too worried rumours were flying last summer of larger plusses probably true.They are on a different planet these guys and all I can say is do not believe what you read in these magazines most of the profiles I have read about people I know are total garbage.and the figures used are cherry picked.
