i cant understand these high cost 1 on 1 sites if the players were that good would they not be making much more money on the tables
probably, but its the age old, and very interesting question of how much of a reduction in your hourly rate would you take if it lowered (eliminated) the variance. i've heard some absolutely rediculous figures pandied around for the better players, and if hypothetically they are earning $1,500/hour with $50k/hour fluctuations, would you rather just sit for an hour, talk about poker, and get paid $1000 with zero variance/stress/worry and anything else that comes from playing infinite tables?
