Glaring omission of Prot0 from that list considering his 2017 results.

and Trueteller is not #1

More watergun7

Less TimStone

otb at #3? lol.

FWIW, biggest winners since start of 2017:

Those samples are meaningless. The only real ranking is given by the lobbies. Until you see Baron sitting out, he's still #1.

just because redbaron enjoys regwarring a bit too much doesn't mean he beats the guy in front of him though, I think RedBaron is still #1 6max but nothing to do with who is sitting in in the lobbies

Oh Hey Cindy, you mind giving us your list?

Ever see linus sitting out?

according to hsdb OBORRA hasn't played since mid september... banned?

yes banned

St1ckman is playing 3 handed 50/100 PLO with EEE27 and ActionFreak. Any guesses as to why? I've never seen him play high stakes without a drooler at the table.

After 12 years of playing poker he doesn’t know what else to do

Old dog

They say it was bot...or player behind the bot?

Definitely not a pure bot.In this case it would most likely be a player with realtime gto software if the accusations are true.

Dream machine 10x more likely.
Not expecting bots at high stakes.
People play so few tables so they fight back stat by stat.
It's different on other sites where people 12-table for rakeback. Bots do well there because they can exploit human errors.

Someone using dream machine ends up having a few "human errors" as well. Best bots are pretty much free of leaks. (no kidding)

Can you comment on accuracy of this?

#GOAT

I've seen him play in some shorthanded lineups like this lately and had the same thought. Might have decided to embrace the Russian poker community and explore the world of dream machines.

His table selection on ACR hasn't been quite as strict in recent time. I picture st1ckman similar to Cumicon where he has spent the past 15+ years living in a Russian suburb in a 1br apartment that was built in 1942. He had a very strict bumhunting approach to poker and was able to maintain the discipline needed to stick with it.

Now in 2018, he has accumulated $20 million dollars and is questioning his place in the world after watching the Cumicon podcast. He asks himself, "Should I start widening my game selection range and live on the edge a little bit?? I have 4000 buy-ins for $25/$50, I think I can risk it."

God bless st1ckman, a true legend of the game.

I'll do it by groups, in alphabetical order:

Linus
Obotta (banned tho so doesnt really matter)
OTB
Prot0


Trueteller

borntotilt
Educa
HHecklen

Fish
Limitless
Stambolov

This is based on how tough they seem to me.

Thanks for the list Cindy!

^The people's champ

noone scarface?

Why do people feel so secure about OB being banned? Not like a millionare can't fix a new setup with accounts and ID and everything borrowed. Or is stars so ****ing vigilant that they'll somehow figure that one out? Seems almost impossible.

I guess that if no new player with that level of skill and playstyle has showed up since his ban then that could explain why people aren't more worried. Or something

Or why wouldnt he/it play on a less vigilant and probably softer site?
