that was my first thought too, in the big games this year there are lots of $500k+ pots flying around and even the biggest winners are on like 3million profit, how can they afford to be in these games?

I'm always interested to see these numbers. The 10th most profitable online poker palyer in the world (on ftp) only made 1.7 million? And what happens if that rich donator quits? How much will profits drop.

Realities of poker economy are making me want to study more and play less.

good year for the dang bros

I think ppl are forgetting how much money some of (most) of these players made playing live this year as well. Durrrr FT'd some big tournaments, krantz won a PLO 5k rebuy, etc..

So fucking sick... what i could do with that money right now .

these numbers are just from the super high stakes games right? I imagine that all of these players make a lot more from grinding the lower stakes games.

Yeah, Ivey went deep in some WPT tournaments but he also won the L.A. Classic WPT for a cool $1M+. But I am still fucking surprised Ivey has made that much this year online. It's fucking mind-boggling. But this just reaffirms my man-crush on Ivey (no homo).

they find high stakes live games with the rich fish who just dont trust having $1 mill online.

an accountant friend's wife plays high stakes limit games ($100/200 down to 25/50, although i know those arent nosebleed and its LIMIT) but the concept is the same. lot of wives, or husbands, recreation gamblers, who would rather lose 10k or win 10k rather than play 1/2 2/4, or even 5/10 just because they get the thrill and they can afford to blow a few grand every month or so.

Nope, It's Lindgren.
At least that is what I read from a somewhat reliable source but since others say he is someone else then maybe he is not Erick. Rumours everywhere...

Hectic

Jeez...phil woods...I mean Tiger Ivey....Phil Ivey is the poker domination.

How much did Guy lose last year? 11M?

you should REALLY really provide a source for this article as highstakesdb.com does all the datamining for high stakes (at least 50/100 nl/plo and 500/1k limit games)
