He only lost 7 mil last year if you add one million and had your eyes closed for December. High stakes database has him down 4.2m last year and +1.9m this year. Also Hac and Di Dang(Trex and Urindanger) said they had some of Durrrr's action when he went on his -6m swing vs. Isildur1.

Not that I need to say anymore but on the televised cash games he is usually the big winner, and it's quite possible he won a lot playing at the Bellagio where the stakes were 1k/2k, and there were weaker players in the game. Also, he is sponsored, which has some value I imagine.

Edit: It's pretty safe to say the only one who knows Tom's Financial status is Tom and maybe some people around him. That being said, all this information is out there, so if you are going to speculate you might as well be up to date.

Durrrr makes millions for his deal with Team Full Tilt and his roll will always be plenty big.

A lot of those guys played on small bankroll and either variance caught on or they just realised that they aren't properly rolled for the nosebleeds and stepped down.
Not many people have the neccessary bankroll to play Nl60k and 100k, u need at least 10 million with the swings that are going on there, because your edge is usually very small if any.

And speaking of Tuan Le - he is a huge donk that lucksacked twice in one year and rightfully stopped godmoding. I still remember him calling a 3bet w 63s for 50% of his opponent effective stack, flopping a gutshot and thinking for 5 minutes about whether to call a shove. Donkaments winners shouldn't even be included in this category, because you can't even reach your real expected ROI over lifetime playing big field events.

Lodden is a Team PS pro. Hardly consider him busto or a one hit wonder. Plays 25/50 regularly on Stars.

If you check Whitelime/Maroonlime on PTR you'll notice that he's actually been both playing a lot and winning a lot lately.

His PLO results posted on DC forums:

FYP: re-tard is hyphenated, haven't you seen The Hangover?

played scott fischman alot on mid stakes HU 7 game.
think the biggest one is chad batista, won it all for a year then gone.

plenty of the players that use to play HS no longer do purely because the games are generally bad, no guy or other huge fish playing, so plenty are like whitelime, who grinds the 25/50 games and makes good bank.

He also makes an occasional visit to play in the big Borgata mixed game on the weekends and has been very successful there for the last couple years.
He rarely plays tournaments. This is why you don't see his name in the tournament results listings. If he did travel and play tournaments a decent amount he would surely be one of the more successful traveling pros. I can tell you from experience that he is an extremely tough opponent in all the games and would surely adept well to tournaments if that is what he chose to do.

You guys don't have to worry about John. He does just fine.
