def a total nit... i have him at like 1.2 pt bb/100 over prolly 25k+ hands. def a winner, i cant believe he hasnt been mentioned to this point since hes one of VERY few people i can remember seeing regularly(as in multiple times per week) playing multiple tables(6+) for more than the past year. honestly with the volume he puts in i wouldnt be surprised to find out he makes 20k a year on rakeback alone. couple that with his modest winrate and im sure hes living comfortably.
hes also one of the people whos up most on me. and thats an impressive list to be on. obv hes run like god against me, but still. i used to be bitter but im over it now and just accept it.
i remember like a week ago he was talking with someone he stacked who was complaining about his luck and he was listing people he thought were better than him. i didnt chime in about it but i remember thinking the only people i wouldnt rather see at a table i was at over him would be money2burn and ray6894651654689546146841061. in small part because he(and ray) run absurdly well against me it seems but mostly because hes such an ubernit and rarely will give away a good chunk of his money without a cooler. and i hate seeing big pots shipped to people like that since i know i dont have much of a shot at getting that money anymore.
lastly, i cant believe some of the names ive seen and havent seen to this point. this games so awesome.

I had great hopes when i saw this thread but i must say i expected more great players to be aknowledged...
On the cash end of the spectrum i must say this in no particular order are my favorite players and although -EV i enjoy a ton when i get to play them.
Whatis7x6 ( Sick sick man, really out of the box thinker, if you wanna see huge swings go 4 table him at stars)
Roxy24 ( congrats on Team Online girl!!!, very solid and smart player, probably got a new ( beamer, yacht, diamond tiara etc )thanks to one of my best friends and a total fish at the high stakes games on stars, i wont mention names out of respect obv for him and other big donators )
BuklaH
XMRLstyle ( Very skilled imo, very agressive and overall one of my favorite O8 players )
Artoface ( More standard player but very good also, big winner at the 10/20 15/30 games at stars)
On the tourney end
Tatta ( Impressive results, grinding machine, havent played him much but that nice red line on his Sharkscope speaks for itself )
Iloveclocks ( Very skilled and cool guy, every time i play with him or discuss a hand on a forum etc, he seems to be better, very sick )
AJB44 ( the player that takes a different line even when he understands very well the traditional thinking in O8, voice of reason in many tough spots, huge respect for his thinking...)
Mustbetilt ( Great player also, patient and understands very well the different tourney stages, another sick one )
If i left someone out i apologize
Just my 2 cents

SOLID LIST! Thanks for the nice mention. Was wondering how no one mentioned me, 7X6, Bukla etc. in all those pages cuz it doesn't get any more reg. than us for limit O8 at Stars. Seems mostly the PLO8 players were talked about, though Bukla plays that a lot too. Yeah I did buy some large ticket items last year, no tiara but a nice van and house. Kinda thought it was crazy luck when I was winning fortunes at the 400-800 so I was really watching for the turnaround to happen. I was really playing 2-7 bad, and really felt outclassed in the hold em rounds. Around late summer the downswing
happened and the game seemed so much tougher all of a sudden. Now I just play the medium limits and I feel so much more emotionally stable. Was feeling really kinda manic-depressive when the daily results were + or - 33K or so. Maybe Durrr and Phil Ivey are like "Oh well, just a typical day" but the average person will be emotionally affected by numbers this big. Funny though a few people have asked why I play smaller now that I'm on the Pokerstars Team. Always tell them it has nothing to do with the Team and everything to do with the amount of $$$ in my account Would have played 400-800 forever if I could still beat it. I sleep better now though. FWIW

Up to $100,000 for the year, deposited $100 at a time. It is based on vpp's earned. Plus some free tournament entries and PS clothes! I think it is confidential, but I know this much has been posted on 2+2 already. We still play with our own money, although some people don't seem to realize that part and type funny stuff in the chat if I catch a lucky card. Well I know I was lucky to get picked for sure
