But to be fair, even OTB has been struggling lately. No one in this game seems to have longevity. There was a moment in time where Ziigmund was up $7 million. Now he has to scrape by on Stars.
The only success stories are the guys who made the big heists and then split once they lost their edge. Or those who managed to maintain their edges over the last decade like Cates, Sauce, Ben86 and surprisingly; Isildur1 (to some extant).
BiatchPeople for example was the perfect weasel, he got into 2-7 TD relatively early on and made millions off bum-hunting Gus Hansen. Once he felt Isildur1 and RaulGonzales/Saniker caught up and were ahead of him, he quit and split with $4.6 million. But not before proofing his edge was gone by dropping $2.2 million. He had nearly $7 million at his height.
Kanu7 is another great example. He was crushing HU NLHE, but never managed to reach the topspot. He made +- $5 million then realized that it wasn't profitable for him anymore. The only people who wanted to play him, like Sauce, TrueTeller and WCGRider, crushed him. He realized the gig was up and left with $4.6 million.
Doug and JNandez probably can break even on the top games at the very least, but then again very few people can beat them as it is. Doug probably can compete in HU NLHE, but I doubt he can compete for the topspot. I guess this is just how the game works. In a couple years it might go a little something like "Hi Guys, OTB here, welcome to my Stream"
