Lee Jones said players demanded zoom only. Now they aren't playing it.

I guess the players demanding it were a wide swath of bum hunters that aren't willing to play regs waiting for a donk to sit.

Great stats. Am I understanding / reading the OP wrong, or did only 10 people in the entire world make > $1M playing online poker in 2013?

^ Noone will ever now with all the people who opted out. + the results are stars/ftp only, there are plenty of other sites and the smaller stakes are not tracked either.

I hope a second NLHE All-Star Showdown actually happens. My dream lineup would be Kanu, ragen, ownage4u, donthnrmepls, Ike, WCG, and a couple other random Germans/Austrians.

ETA: FMyLife and asianflushie can take the last two slots if they promise to run hot and play like spewboxes.

I will bet it is very close to accurate/he is up a ton with a large winrate and me and Cole are not what you would call friends.

Maybe I am bias in believing because he smashed me recently and I'd be really happy if he is winning that much because I'm pretty sure I'm locked in with the infinite Cole South action.

likely just sized his betsize up in general across a bunch of textures. It is also opp dependant/perhaps in the beginning he was playing 6 max. As far as strat/range change he could have switched to a bit more polarized larger sizing strategy(for in position sr pots). For oop in 3 bet pots it might mean he rarely gives up/is 3 betting quite top heavy(top heavy in terms of playability fwiw which is a mixture of true top heavy and blahblah). Also may have got better at realizing where people are deficient and started shoving range in bloated pots vs unprotected ranges.

Because I know, we played hu and we were in communication. Out of respect I'm not going to out him in a public forum besides what hes already outted himself. We played roughly the levels he said his avg stake was at too (10/20-25/50)

Cole's graph is just a testament that there is a world outside ftp/stars and lots of money to be made. However putting his graph up there as one of the top winners is unfair to everyone else on that list because their results are solely the ones tracked of stars/ftp.

Either you skip the "untracked euro sites" or you dont.
