Average Yearly income for Live/Online Tournament grinders in 2023?
Im curious what the average yearly income for professional tournament grinders currently is? Someone that plays ~1500 hours of tournaments a year with a buyin that ranges live $500-$10k and online $50-$5k?

I've been called a good reg. I just compiled my annual wins and losses, here are some stats for my year.
175 MTT entries ranging from $100 to $1500. (Most of the entries are the $200 $10k guarantee which runs twice a week.)
ABI $206.
22 cashes ranging from $250 to $18k. Average of $2227.
Profit $12,999 with ROI 37%.
Bottom line is that my hourly sucks and I would probably be better off doing something else.

Ya live is a huge time suck and expenses/rake are higher than online. If you enjoy it then so be it, but I think you'd need a much higher ABI to make it worthwhile.
Is 20% rake for live tournaments beatable?
