Professional poker player, Daniel Negreanu, broke down statistics from that were recently published by the World Poker Tour (WPT). He states that players need to make about $20,000 per tournament they play with entry fee being $10,000 and travel being another $10,000. $10,000 for travel seems a bit high, but I guess when you travel with others and travel big it all adds up.
Of the 176 poker professionals Negreanu noted that only 56 of them reach that $20,000 mark. That is just over 1/3rd of professional poker players that average break even. I’m surprised that the number is so low.
