I have seen a lot of players, and seen them make millions... but it's all about return on investment that really matters...

my hat goes off to... Halfrek

check out his stats

Official Poker Rankings HALFREK Poker Ratings, Results, Statistics

He has a 1000% return on his play... is just amazing... he has banked $815,000 in a little over a year...

that's just impressive....

who is your favorite online player, how does he stand out?

#2 5th September 2008, 10:36 PM

thats what happens when u run well for a 1K tourny and a 2500 tourny
check out his ITM, pretty unimpressive but i guess if u can just have a few big finishes consistency doesnt matter

#3 5th September 2008, 10:40 PM

Isn't Halfrek the one that won 2 of the big Stars tournaments on the same Sunday?

#4 5th September 2008, 10:40 PM

^ no he won the 2 biggest ftops events in the same series, the 1K and 2500

#5 5th September 2008, 10:49 PM

im gonna get a lotta people sayin yeah right about this, but personally i would rather be consistent than win a couple big ones and then nothing in like 50 others. case in point, ummm chris moneymaker, or even greg raymer. but how many people do you know that consistently cash? it is most impressive based on amount, but like was said, if you look deeper into it, its not so great if you toss out just a couple games.

#9 6th September 2008, 12:28 AM

Yeah 12% ITM...impressive........not!

#10 6th September 2008, 2:21 AM

I would say Gus he plays on FT and makes millions but he also loses but i would definately say Gus.

#11 6th September 2008, 3:02 PM

This is for the guy that says Gus Hansen is the best... he is good, but at Cash Ring games... the stats represented here are of Tournaments played on... and he is not so good check out his stats:

I don't know if links to sharkscope work but here we go SharkScope - The Largest Online Poker Tournament Results Database

If that link doesnt work, search tatta on pokerstars, he has the sweetest graph imaginable and crushed star's plo HU games day in day out

#14 6th September 2008, 8:12 PM

I would rather have a ridiculous ROI% than consistently make itm.

So he is not a good tournement player cause he haves played 6tourneys on FT and didnt cash?

#16 6th September 2008, 11:00 PM

well tbh, I pick consistency over just a one big hit, I know a lot of good players, that don't have that huge score, but they are consistant at the tourneys they play, i dont remember who but I remember some guy won 750k like a month ago or more, and he had the shitties stats ever, so my point is anybody can get lucky and win that one lottery, but what about being consistant

Halfrek is an awesome player, AWESOME. There is one player that i have seen, that is just amazing to watch. "GetPWN3D" is so entertaining and is one of the top MTT players on Fulltilt i believe. He is so aggressive, he gets under the others players skins, with his plays, and its like he knows what the other players are holding. Look this guy up and prepare to be awed.

#19 7th September 2008, 1:30 AM

I'm shocked that noone as of yet has searched tatta on pokerstars on sharkscope like i told them to do. He has the graph that all sit n go players dream of and he is possibly the biggest (as in popularity) online sng'er out there. He doesn't even play the biggest games anymore, he plays $55 stakes now and still tops the money making leaderboards for omaha. Sick sick player

Also to whoever said they would rather have a huge roi than consistently itm is kinda meh. Since you can have a huge roi and win a large amount of money, but the consistent people make more money across the course of a year.

#20 7th September 2008, 1:35 AM

tatta is not that impressive

massive downswing just after 10K sngs

#23 7th September 2008, 2:17 AM

My favorite online pro right now, I guess is Rafi Amit. He's like a high stakes Jewish poker player. He plays as Howisitfeellike on Full Tilt, and according to the high stakes database he is the only person to have made over a million dollars online in August. (net profit) And I've never seen him sit down with more than 50,000 dollars at any table.

its so sick when your biggest downswing, is when your graph goes up at a smaller incline than usual

#25 7th September 2008, 2:46 AM

I really like david benyamine, Durr and phil ivey.

durrrr on the other hand played half the sessions half the hand and half the hours howsitfeellike played and is only 225k behind him ivey is the same for playtime but..is only 120k behind

#27 7th September 2008, 4:23 AM

ivey and benyamine put in so many sessions its crazy.but it is really crazy to watch them through money around like play chips.

If you read what I said, He's rarely sat down at a table with more than 50k. While Ivey and Durrr sit down most of the the time with 100k, sometimes even 150 or 200. He has played well enough to start out with a fraction of what the bigger name guys have, and still win more. He's just as (or even more) stable then most big name players. Then again he's won two bracelets, so he's kind of a name pro I guess. (Obscure Jewish professionals, HURRAY JEWS!)

EDIT: Plus, he's mainly a limit guy, PLO/HORSE, I've rarely, if ever, seen him at a NL Hold'em table. Durrr and Ivey are pretty much better players at Hold'em, and can make money quicker/easier

^ i have seen him playing 2K-4K horse and omaha hi/lo where the tables have a min buy in of 50K so u lose this arguement

#31 7th September 2008, 4:52 AM
