Do you know any player with more than 100,000 games at pokerstars, for example? They are real people?

Tell me the nickname of that person below so that we can meet them.

I wanted to be one of those players, but I'm clearly not, I shouldn't have played a thousand games in my entire career.

100,000 games

I don't think this would be possible, let's say someone played 10 games a day it would take over 27 years of 7 days a week to reach 100,000.
I regularly play 5 games plus per day 7 days a week since 2007 and don't think I am near 100,000 games. most likely around 5000 games played, if you ever meet a 100,000 game player wish him/her luck, lol :):):)

I know some screen names on PS who have 100.000+ games , the vast majority of them are SNG players. Many of those play 24+ tables because SNG are the perfect format for volume , after the early stages the game becomes push/fold.

How can you tell?

By "games" I assume you don't include cash games? I've definitely played many thousands of those, and I'm not even close to being a "master" at this elusive table sport.

I am talking about MTTs and SNG , as far as I know you can't track cash games except from the super high roller tables!

I've seen a player with almost 500,000 games. Now if he is a real person that is the big question.

I've found few over 20k, what is still far from 100k, 1 of them was a long time freeroll, micro sng, tourney player. All the rest mainly played the 3max sngs, sometimes 6max sng, but they rarely played any tourneys.

I just remember for it, because the first one, I've found, played only the jackpot 3max sngs on mid stake mostly. And he managed to make 15k+ profit in his first 3 months, after the next 6-8 months he 'managed' to take it down to 5k-, probably with the rake, he was still profitable, but the usual hill effect was on his profit graph.... pretty strange how often I see the same....

I think that perhaps this option exists internally only for PS employees, now for us users, no.

The ones with more than 100,000 games are the players who play lots... as a matter of fact it's the ones who have played even more than 100,000 games!

I don't like to be sceptical but poker stars has only been active since Dec 2001, 19 years and to play 100,000 games would require 14 games a day 7 days a week for 19 years:):):)

Makes me wondering how many games I've played across all sites. Definitely in the thousands but I couldn't think it'd be more than 6 or 7. And that's after 13 years

I personally don't play very many games these days... but I know of other Cardschat members who play over 300 games per DAY! (and well over 5,000 games per 1 month!).

Actually if you were to take a peek at the partypoker SNG Leaderboards, you'll find that ALL of the guys who are in the Top10 ranking there will be putting in that type of volume.

Many online tournament players put in 50+ games per session. When I've posted that I might play 30 tournaments in a day, that was like not even a warm-up for them.


For tournaments, calculate 8 to 12 tables going & then firing up a new one each time they bust out. Then later into the session loading more 'Turbo' ones... and then as their session is in it's final couple hours they'll continue to load up Hyper Turbo MTT's. Many players easily play over 50 tournaments per day. (SnG players play FAR more)

Just for an example...
You can watch this player streaming on Twitch (Joshua Hoesel). He's originally from the USA but moved abroad to continue playing online poker (Rosarito Beach, mexico)

He's currently playing on Partypoker (this very moment he is live streaming the $5,300 Online Millions main event Day2) due to them having a far better rakeback rewards program vs. Stars (I am not certain but I believe just from Rakeback he earns ~$30k per month).

He rarely plays on Pokerstars these days (due to poor rakeback/rewards program it just does not make any sense to play there for him) but did play some of the Blowout Series in December (hasn't played on Stars in 2021)... And even with rarely playing on there he has played.... are you ready for this?? ARE YOU READY????

1,176,485 games!

Total cashes: $110,773,079.99 (yes over $110 Million!)
