This is a truly remarkable feat considering the amount of players entered in both tournaments. Where these guys get their mental fortitude from is anybodys guess because i could never keep up my concentration levels for so long

This guy is ranked #1 on OPR for Stars... So although it is obviously a fantastic amount of money, and an even more fantastic achievement... It's probably not actually life changing.

Yeah but what I'm saying is it probably won't change HIS life... Not for second suggesting it wouldn't be life changing to someone like you or I.... Heck, right now $5k would be life changing for me

Nobody seems to know who this guy is.... But I guess it's only a matter of time before he shows up taking down some huge live tourney, then everyone will know.
Raises interesting points about the future of poker... There are many well known pros currently... But how many will there be in 20 or 30 years time? When someone can sit at their computer, making hundreds of thousands a day... whereas back in the old days, players such as Doyle Brunson had to travel hundreds of miles just to find a game...

The poker coach profile had a picture of a very attractive young woman called Jan Klaasen,age 20,an old profile but you never know.She was charging $15 an hour back in 2011 so may well have been a good investment if the same person. When I look at the low stakes games now I really feel for players getting into the game now,I watched a $10 tournament the other day thinking of late registering and using some old tickets but the standard of play seemed either way too aggressive with junk or getting your whole stack in as early as possible with a decent hand.No playing down the streets or tactical play and in all very disappointing to watch.
Hey, yout - the amount of time you need to sit in front of the computer learning about $hit or whatnot and analizing your gameplay is correlating to how much time Brunson spent on travelling back then IMO. If making hundreds of thousands would be that easy as sounded no pro would ever leave their home.
