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?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
