How can you possibly think that is bad?
Your attitude needs more work than your poker dude.... You're trashing other players who have made like 1000x you from poker...
He might have been on a heater or edited the graph, I'm not sure...
If you see how he plays you will see he is bad, so far all hands I played vs him he made very big mistakes in at least one street. It was somewhat trivial to find ways to punish him even after some showdowns, like 5bet jamming any2 was probably printing at least 10bb/hand if not more (until he adjusted back).
Just because a player makes money it doesn't mean he is good, there are lots of bad regs who beat the game by 2-3 bb/100 and they do it because their opponents fail to catch their leaks and adjust vs that. I believe quasselinho could be beating the games at that time when he posted those results, but it's very likely that after that much volume most regs learned how to play vs him and that his BS strats won't work anymore.
As an example, when I came back to poker, in the first month I was playing with 40 vpip and overbluffing, I thought I was a genius for beating the game with a 20bb/100 redline, but as soon as I got into 25z and didn't move up fast enough, my opponents started calling me down light because they had some time to adjust.
Today I doubt quasselinho could be +EV at 200z with the way he plays poker, his game was all over the place. As I said, weak strategies could yield a higher EV than strong ones if villain isn't playing properly vs them, if villain plays reasonable vs quasselinho it will already be very hard for him to be +EV given how many misplays and whale moves he does (like cc 3-bets very wide), and I'm not even talking about postflop plays and lots of minraising going on lol.
In poker you could post insane results while playing suboptimally, but what really matters is if your strategy will be good enough to beat the games consistently no matter how much time you play vs the same person, and that can only happen if you have a very solid base strategy and don't go nuts often in spots people ready expect you to go nuts on.
