Money... Tournaments or Cash Games?

it's really hard to tell... if it comes to CASH RING GAMES, there really is no way to track that... but I have seen some amazing players win over $250,000 in a single pot... so it could have millions in their bankroll.

a sure way to find out how they are doing in the Tournaments... is to check out this site:

Official Poker Rankings - Poker Ratings, Poker Results and Statistics

Here you can keep track of their Return on Investment, as well as their wins and losses....

So Far the most Profitable player on the Following Sites are:

FULL TILT
knickadam55 Net Profit of $484,806
ROI = 20%

pokerstars
AJKHoosier1 Net Profit of $1,431,751
ROI = 168%

party poker
TherookieQQ9 Net Profit of $264,630
ROI = 463%

So it looks like the guy from Pokerstars has made the most money in TOURNAMENTS... but we don't know how well he does in CASH RING GAMES.

I still don't agree with the way OPR ranks these guys, 1 huge win (wcoop/ftops or w/e) and you skyrocket to the top.
You could have a -400% ROI playing 10$ SnGs and hit one big win you satted into and next thing you know you are on top of the rankings.

Not sure.

Dont know who has won the most, but i do know that the largest hand was a couple months ago over 600,000 on one hand the winner was pair of dueces. the second largest hand came minutes later at the same table. their names escape me.

Those screen namesmake me wonder whether or not they are over the age of 18. Either way they are making good money, and it would be nice to have an online strategy guide written by them collaboratively.

I like to watch the team of PS playing in tournaments, do not know if they are the best, but often leave it very well ... it is interesting to analyze our own moves...

You could have a -400% ROI playing 10$ SnGs and hit one big win you satted into and next thing you know you are on top of the rankings.

I agree and disagree.

First, the agree part. I don't like the way they do the rankings. Buy-in amount is weighted very heavily, and due to this you do get people with negative ROI's ranked fairly high.

Secondly, one big win does not skyrocket you. I know. I won almost $500 once and my ranking went exactly nowhere even though at the time my ROI was absurd. It wasn't until I went rather deep in another mtt that the ranking moved up.

Couple other things, OPR does track satellites. I won a few times for the hundred grand mtt satty and it shows up as a $11? win even though I really only won 11 T$. If you win a $5.50 satty and get into a $550 mtt and then bust out, it will still show you are being down $5.50 overall.

Lastly, I firmly believe that non of the tracking software (online or otherwise) works 100% of the time. I went and added up all the sharkscope and OPR and Pokertracker wins and losses, and it's WAY off from what I actually have.

I believe it is David Benjamine (france). He plays almost everynight at Fulltilt in the big PLO games. Durrrr (tom dwan) also does very well. The website highstakesdb.com has monthly and annual standings plus hand replays of all the big hands
