That is amazing. That's my goal by the summer, not to be at that point in profit, but to be good enough that I can profit close to that.

But the amazing part isn't the 10k in a year, the amazing part is that's only 16,615 hands. Now that may seem like a lot, but that thread is a video of him 6-tabling. If he played every day of the year (probably not, but read on) that's only 45 hands per day. Even single tabling that's little more than half an hour. And 6-tabling? 8 hands per table? That's just over an average of 10 minutes per day. So sure he probably didn't play 365 days in a the year, but even at once a week that's about an hour per session. I don't know how many tables he usually plays, but even at 1, that's 6 hours a week.

IIRC from his blog he's in school now, but that win rate is more than enough to make a living playing full time. Even if 99% of this was single-tabling, multiply that by 6 to get 36 hours a week (that leaves 4*52 = 208 hours vacation at actually working 40 hours a week, or 5.2 weeks of vacation), that comes out to 60k a year. And then throw in the fact that he probably is multi-tabling, and winning at that rate full time is making 6 figures a year. This is why I question people who say that you have to play at least $10/$20 to make a living at poker. Maybe that's true live, but when you can play multiple tables and play as well as some of the people do here, you don't need to cheat or play high stakes.
