Making The Minimum Wage .. in Somalia

I played in a $6 tourney on Poker stars today. I came 617th from 4600 runners for a grand prize of $9, I worked out this was about a Dollar an hour which I could probably live on in Somalia, I suppose it's a pint of beer in Newcastle. Top prize was $2900 which would have been nice to take to Vegas, next time those 4600 players are in trouble...
