Quote from brownegg:
You may be a profitable online player and even very knowledgeable, but that statement isn't even close to true. Like, you're probably off by 5-6 orders of magnitude.
Context: what's the most any poker player has made in a career? Probably $10-25mm or so? Jim Simons has had several years over $1B, including something like $2.5B in 2008, which is ~= $10mm per trading DAY.
I think you need to compare retail home traders versus home poker players.
