In Response To: Why sports betting is brutal (Kim Lee)

re poker : "It is much tougher than blackjack to make nontrivial money. To win you absolutely must find soft games with loose players."

what do you think is nontrivial money? for skilled/talented players, $50/hour ($75K a year in 30 hour weeks) in poker is very achievable...for very skilled/talented players, $100/hour ($150K a year) in poker is attainable. (these numbers reflect sitting in at almost all games, and only leaving the ones that are supertough) and for these people, putting in 20-40 hour weeks is not tough... but few people are skilled enough to accomplish these feats although they may think they are. I'm pretty sure I know of 5 people who can do this....but that's out of a population of 1000 players that I am familiar with who play alot.

I don't know much about BJ, but how does this compare to how much one can make on a consistent basis in BJ?
