			I'm curious... how much do you spend on buy ins on an average day, week or month? Like, when you score a (relatively small) $2300 hit like this, I'm wondering how much that helps your bottom line... Congrats on yet another win! |

			days that I play a full schedule I typically spend $1500 to $2k.  wednesday and sunday I spend a bit more because of the majors on sunday and the $320 on stars and $1k on AP on wednesday.  Sundays run between 2500 and 5k depending on how many of the major tournaments I play.

			Wow. So, for an "average" week for a big tourney player, you could easily spend $15k in buy ins - CERTAINLY 10k. So, call it $500k+ per year. Kind of puts the sharkscope/pokerdb/IPR numbers of the big tourney players in perspective, doesn't it? |

			Sharkscope is Net Winnings though (winnings - buys ins - rake)

			Most of the top players make around $100k annually.  When you multitable 10 tablkes or more your roi ends up somewhere around 30-50% on avg.

			That's interesting... because that's NOTHING compared to what the top cash games players make. Hell, low limit (meaning < 5/10 NL, not meaning $25 NL) grinders can make that kind of money with very little risk if they just put the time in. |

			the one factor tourneys have is it isnt a grind. Its more fun playing tourneys IMO, working your stack, agression e.t.c
