Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 5614815, member: 407846"] It's an interesting issue and one which bugs to a degree- after all it would not be hard to track in terms of tournaments entered (buy-ins) against cashes (winnings) to give players a [I]somewhat [/I]accurate profit and loss profile (who knows what is up on the cash games front?). Most simply do not want it as it inevitably diminishes their reputation and potential ability to attract backers or swap pieces. Negreanu is the only player who has made an effort to publish his tournament profit and loss on a regular basis (with no mention of cash games so it is all still skewed). In fact, as Bryn Kenney leapt over the top of others to be the "winning-est player' when he won the Triton one million buy-in just months before he had been in a self-admitted financial hole where he was saddled with personal debt and sums owed to others. No doubt some are more profitable than others but I think if the truth were known about several playing at the top of the pyramid in high rollers, it would be underwhelming. In fact I think a lower profile individual such as Ari Engel might be one of the more profitable. He continually travels playing lower tiered, less glamorous events but has amassed winnings of around $7 million. He is fantastically well organized in terms of not just plotting his year in terms of entries to tournaments he thinks he can profit in, but of buying air tickets well in advance to secure the best rates. As he is a poker nomad he reportedly never stays anymore for more than a week or so he has to stay on top of all the details. [/QUOTE]
