Really? Sne is 140/month? 190 really is a lot. If you grinded 200 hours a month playing 200nl on I poker or somewhere I think you'd get over 10k a month just in rb, maybe more. Meh 190 feels a lot to me anyway :p guess I love sleeping too much

$50 an hour through rb? Seems way high. How'd you work out SNE as 140 a month too?

The piano piece was really cool.

Yeh I was going to say off the table work contributes too. Although mot players will spend less than 10 rather than 50

Sne is 7hours a day 5 days a week with 6 tabling zoom. If you can be a 1bb winner then yu play 250 hands per hour. So that would work out at 4bb/hour per table. So 200nl 8x4 32 and 100 4x2 so 40/hour without rake back.

Total rake back is 145,000 in year so that would be 145,000/1820 = 79 for total of 40+79 = 139/hour?

If you can manage to win at 4bb/100 then obviously hourly goes way higher.

The maths are probably wrong I've just done them now and seems way too high!

I poker.

http://www.bluffeurope.com/poker-news/en/poker_strategy/What-s-the-rake-in-big-blinds-at-each-level-_12433.aspx

5.6bb/100 rake so 11.2 dollars for every 100 hands you play so let's say you get 6 dollars in rake back that means 6 dollars for every 100 hands.

8 tables with an average of 75 hands per hour is 600 hands per hour so you would make 6x6 = 36 an hour in rake back.

36x200 7200/month

Win rates on ipokermbigger so let's say 3bb/100

You play 600 hands per hour.
For every 100 hands you play you make 6 dollars in profit (2x3) and this everything doubles.

You'd therefore make 36/hour in winnings and 36/hour in rb and thus 72/hour. And 14400 a month.

This is jut at 200nl if you bumhunt 400-1k then it obviously increases.

Please correct my poor maths if need be!!

191 hours isn't "huge" in terms of the length of time, roughly 48 hours a week which I believe is actually a pretty standard (maybe a touch above "normal") working week.

However the comparison between a month of poker play and a month of work in a job isn't quite accurate, I might get a little stick for this (Hi Woodsey ) but poker is, in general - not in every instance - a lot more intense than an average job, and requires 100% of your focus 100% of the time you are working. In the regular jobs I did I worked 40-50 hours a week easily but was prolly only fully engaged for about 70%~ of the time, so 50 hours a week prolly only 35 at the same level required to play poker. You could always play poker without 100% of your focus, but in that case you're way better off just sat on the sofa watching TV.

Unless you've been auto-piloting or playing awfully 191 hours is an impressive amount of "work" for a month.

yer agree too, I dont think Ive ever been anywhere near close that volume before.

especially with 2 weeks holiday its super wow.

Alex 191 hours is a huge amount of poker, I certainly couldn't do it..

Suuprim - This is clearly subjective and depends on the role that you're in.  In poker if you do a bad job it usually only impacts you/family but in the roles that I've worked in, if I don't do them to the best of my ability it has an impact on other peoples lives, so we could argue intensity.  

*Actually let's not argue intensity I'll just end up wound up... *

I agree with you 100%. It's not about doing a bad or a good job/your performance, it's about the level of focus that is required and the intensity that it is required at, I'm not suggesting that poker is "hard work" as it isn't and it makes me laugh when people claim it is, but as it does require complete focus it is quite unrealistic to play as many hours of poker as the hours in a regular working week. With poker as soon as you stop playing you're not working, and as soon as you start playing you are working.

For example in the Job I did pre-poker I worked about 10 hours per day, on average I'd say 1.5 of those were taken up with no work at all (lunch, taking a break etc) about 1.5 of those were driving (essential ofc but again not needing me to be engaged) and prolly another 1 hour at about half energy (doing paperwork slowly, not concentrating, chatting about non work stuff etc) so of my 10 hour day I'm prolly only really "working" 6 of them. My online poker routine I like to play 2 sessions per day inbetween chilling and eating and stuff, usually 2- 2.5 hours in the day and 3-4 hours in the evening, so whereas it seems i'm working a lot less I think I'm actually doing the same if not slightly more than when I had a job.

Upping that to 10 hours per day like I "was" in my old job would be, imo, working significantly more than I used to.
