Here's the thing.... those numbers are VERY impressive. Surely everyone will agree on that. But they are also very BIG numbers. He said himself that this was his best two months. So, let's assume this is about as good as it gets.
Now look at this number:
If this was a VERY GOOD two months, maybe a safer and more reasonable expected return for him would be around $100 per SNG. Is that a reasonable guestimate?
So here's what I'm wondering.... Couldn't he make a LOT MORE MONEY by playing in cash games? Maybe he's a good tourney player and a not so good cash game player... but I have to think his hourly rate would be much higher if he was playing high limit cash games.
Yes, $75,000 is a very nice profit, but with his roll, and assuming he's as good at cash games as he is with tourneys (big assumption), I think he could have made a lot more than that playing $30/60, $100/200 and up.
Thoughts?
