Still in the top 1/3rd....2nd break

Took a horrendous beat from a donk that thinks it's wise to throw his whole stack in on the turn with a pair and a 6 high flush draw against my nut straight, or I'd be in better shape.

All in all, it's going good....

75/150 blinds after this break, and I'm over 20K still

He spent $10 and got $39 out of his poker tourney, after 5.5 hours of play.
He mentioned going out in the top 8% in another post. So my guess; around 260th place.

So, that means beaston was getting paid around $5.30 an hour to play poker. Not too bad.

I'd have to play many hours before getting paid for my poker skills, because more practice usually brings on better poker playing.

I may try playing real money online poker some day, just to see how well I play with real money.

No, there were 27,xxx players, and I finished 2133rd, which is actually the top 7.9%..8% rounded..

260th would have been just under 1%
