I've gone through periods where I've tried to do that in the past. The best I've ever done was 135 one month. Typically, I'm in the low to mid-90's.
I do know guys who actively try and they manage to rack up totals 150 and above. However, they are constantly on their phone and/or computer trading, ELITT'ing, checking open time, and so on. I prefer to not do that.
The last times I tried to pick up POT were the last two weeks of Nov and the last two weeks of Jan. I had my board completely cleared in both cases. I am senior and bid POT on nearly every turn to three day that paid more than 10 per day (premium). I got outbid 100% of the time by guys bidding it straight. I am in base. I was constantly getting text alerts and getting woken up in the middle of the night (I know you can set a do not disturb but I really wanted some POT) by alerts. But nada.
So yes, people do what RJS does but they are not typical. There is the other side of the coin here too.
Absolutely correct. Not typical at all, and not the rule either. The beauty of a choice... with some people junior to me doing better than me, also quite a few senior guys making me look lazy.
