Is this meant to be a repudiation of my statement? You need to do better than a strawman and a lol if you want to try to discredit me. I have certainly not made that statement and anyone here who has given my vanity web page a cursory glance would know this not to be true. However, anyone who knows me or has paid attention to anything I have written in these parts over the last five years would probably agree that my statement was based on experience and knowledge of poker that you are belying you possess not. That's OK. It's just foolish to continue to advertise this. And just in case we got lost there, to clarify: I know a number of people greater than zero who do in fact make more than $50k per annum and have done so for a statistically significant period of time. And to go one step further, if you really know about poker, it's just not that hard. However, this may be difficult to see unless your(note spelling) game is at or near the appropriate level. And if not, that's OK, too. At this point, you may think(correctly) that it's just my opinion vs yours. However, that does not make it a 50/50 prop. If you'd really like to ascertain if I might know more about the game than you(which given the discourse so far, Bayes' theorem tells us is about 17:1), I suggest you check out Dejanews to see if any of my posts bear information that may shed light on whether I know of what I speak. Have a nice day.
