Who is the best online poker player

poopnuggette · Nov 17, 2008

does anyone know who has made the most money online?

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.

apparently gus hansen pulled some 2 mil out of tilt last month, and also lost some 1 mill in a day or so... plays at the 50K buyin w ivey and other of our heroes..

teeko · Nov 17, 2008

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.

i dont really have an answer to your question. But there are alot of players that are really impressive when comes to tourneys. The top 3 online tourney players ive seen. 1. "imabigkidnow" 2. "da_professional" 3. "GetPW3ND"

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...

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.

AJKHoosier1 is ranked as the#1 player this year with a lifetimewinning of
$1,971,669
but carter CKINGUSC king who is ranked at 26place has won $2,019,793 in total (due to winning the wcoop at stars)
but i often look at AJKHoosier1 playin on stars and he is the best in my opinion

Best player this year is durrrr, 4.44 BB/100 over 40000 hands at the highest stakes, for a total profit of $2,451,032. Not really a surprise.

T_inc · Nov 18, 2008

honestly i would think there lifetime winnins would be more than just 2 mil

the guy is 22 yo hes got like a lifetime to turn 2mil into a gaziljon mil!

chapeltuno · Nov 18, 2008

Each month its different for sure. Some have great months like gus'. ( up some 2 million) and then the next down 2 mill.

laosjames · Nov 18, 2008

i think the professional celebrity poker players that play in real life and also online are the best

uofmdef · Nov 18, 2008

best online poker

do mean player or site if player i would not say ftp they are being sued by a person that was a 1% owner that never got paid for promoting ftp she is suing for $40 mil howard lederman tried to give her $250,000 but she is just filed to and is suing for 40mil that is why i think ftp is a scam they knew she was going to take them to court so they are taking ppl money thats why you hear of to many bad beats on ftp has to be a bad beat you wont keep calling if you dont have a great hand

Team_Ramrod · Nov 18, 2008

dint chris moneymaker win the wsop from a $4 or $40 satellite online tourney?

PokerPlayer06 · Nov 18, 2008

I have watched many big FTP games. Juanda, Ivey, and other pros such as DURRRR or Urindanger have 1m in their account... this is from ring games... tourney games i have NO idea

narizblanco · Nov 18, 2008

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
