worldpeace, re-read my statement above. At the middle to high limit tables there are roughly 40 raked hands per hour. There may be more, but this is a safe estimate. Each raked hand is raked $3. There are ten players at a full table. $3 divided by ten players = .30 rake paid per player per hand on average, just like I said. A large number of pros play more than 4 tables at a time and more than 40 hours a week.
