A two-year poker player earning $170k annually accepts a $230 hourly family office trading internship, but the provided evidence only defines the word family.

Mateos (@2cardtito) states he has played poker full-time for about two years, earning roughly $170k this year, and accepted a one-month internship at a family office trading arm paying $230 per hour. The evidence provided consists of a Wikipedia article defining a family as a group of related people, a Britannica link on family kinship, and a Merriam-Webster definition of professional. None of the sources verify the existence of the family office, the trading arm, the hourly rate, or the poker earnings.

  3. The author accepted a one-month internship at a family office with a trading arm.

Why it matters

For someone running trading systems or agents, this post highlights the difficulty of validating individual career moves and compensation rates in the trading sector. Relying on unverified social media claims about family office internships can lead to inaccurate market intelligence regarding hiring rates and skill transferability.

Keep

  • The post claims a $230 hourly rate for a one-month family office trading internship.
  • The author claims to have earned $170k in one year from full-time poker.
  • The provided evidence only defines the word family and does not verify the specific office or rate.
  • Verifying such claims requires access to employment contracts or verified family office directories.

Next

  • Review family office directories or employment contracts to verify specific trading arm internships.
  • Analyze the skill transferability between poker and algorithmic trading to assess the author's concern.

Still open

  • What is the actual name and location of the family office mentioned?
  • Are there public records or verified directories confirming the $230 hourly rate for this specific internship?
