i was a part of that world a good chunk of last year and there is one guy i'm quite positive makes 6-figures consistently but none others. all cash games and in one of the few areas where you can still make that kind of money playing live

online? no. not in America, and basically not in the world. with all the bots, rings, sharing, and solvers out there, it's almost impossible to win (especially 6-figures)

tournaments? no.

doug polk had a great video about what poker players really make last year, but people still believe the myths

Hell, even someone like Lex on twitch is confirmed busto for just about his entire career. Dude probably has a few hundred grand net worth after dumping 10+ years into poker. shite is soul crushing and he grinds 10/hrs a day 4/5 days a week.

I would be shocked if there are more than 500 pros making more than six figures/year worldwide. A lot of the overseas pros also live in places where they don't pay tax and the US dollar is strong, so they don't need to make six figures to have a high quality of life.
