    Most of you guys are cashing 2-3x a day on average in tournaments that qualify for ranking points on P5's, which is phenomenol. On average, I'm just curious how many qualifying tourneys you play in per day, and about how much you spend on in buy-ins per day, and for those who track your stats what kind of ROI and Cash % you are getting. Is the strategy for the most part to play a LAG style and get chips early to make a deep run rather than grinding it out to the money?

    I took off work for about a week in early November when I had shoulder surgery and played a decent amount of poker while I was out. I cashed in a bunch of tourneys, but never was able to get the big win, I kept getting knocked out right on the cusp of the big payoffs. sometimes by rough beats but more often because I was just hanging on and went to the FT shortstacked.

    i've played about 55 tourneys in 3 weeks in November, which is very very high for me. I'm usually about a 3-4 tourney a week player and thats it. I've cashed about 30% this month but have only managed to break even since I haven't gotten the big payday.

    I've considered playing poker full time like I'm sure all of the ranked players do, but wonder how much is really being made overall, and if its worth it to try.

    I just ran my overall stats the other day and over the past 2 years i've played 375 tourneys ranging from $5 to $200. My overall ROI is 157% and cash % is 22%. ($26,222 in buy ins and $67,450 won).

    Just curious how these %'s compares to those who are playing full time and racking up the ranking points.

    Any thoughts anyone can provide would be much appreciated. See you all at the tables.

    Every time I see someone with cash % above 15, I believe they fold too much. (some examples prove otherwise, just in general)

    Not a Brag Post BigGun I am truly curious as to how far behind the top ranked players my stats are.

    Obv my stats and total winnings don't even compare to the top players. Who am i going to impress with my numbers when you have people like Annette pulling in 4-5 figure wins on a weekly basis.

    If you don't want to answser my question then please don't respond.
