Because only playing AA/KK/AKs is not profitable ?

Chris only really plays tournaments, and he's never had a particularly colossal score ($8M total winnings over 10+ years minus god knows how much in buy ins. Doesn't he always play like every WSOP event?) I can't imagine he was able to put nearly as much money into FTP as Lederer, Ivey, or any of the other players who regularly played super-nosebleed stakes before FTP started up.

win more pots than you lose.
keep in mind the amount winning has to be bigger than the amount losing.

Most people fail to realize the absolutely colossal effect that rake has on your ability to make money at poker.

Ferguson wrote the software for FTP and I'm quite sure he's one of the owners. That alone should mean tens of millions.

Build a time machine, go back to 2001, study nl holdem. Make enough money at 5/10 to be set for life before everyone else learns the game.

If you can't do that then you could just donk around in low level mtts like the rest of us.

You can hand someone a license to print money and they will find a way to **** it up because of greed. See: Russ Hamilton.

lol, site is so obv' bull****. Just names a player and gives a number and that's all. No evidence of any research at all. How can Durrr's net worth be only $10 million when he plays every superdupernosebleed game there is, while Erick Lindgren's is apparently $50 million, despite having very few big tournament cashes? Site clearly just makes **** up.

I'm really suprised this thread has generated so much interest...
The best way to make money playing online poker is to do it in a game you enjoy. W-e it is. You have to ENJOY LEARNING, STUDYING and going back through your HAND HISTORIES. So few players are able to win big money playing poker with little effort... you gotta WORK to earn a good living.

Good luck pal
