if you guys paid attention.. doomdy has over 55000 posts here and is playing onlinepoker for many years.. so 50 k is ok but not extreme for someone who is playing for so long..
i wonder if the whole 50k is all profit???
if it is all profit its quite nice ,,but i think it is more likely that his profit is less then 50 k ,more around
30-35 k ...only doomdy knows ...the real amount of profit..
i know a player who has 3.5 million in prize winnings and 1.2 million of it is profit ,shown on trackersite..
But that's not covering his cashgames,, he just might have lost a couple of 100k there,,
so exact profits are hard to measure on trackersites if u ask me..
for instance, i have around 9k prizemoney in about 2 years of playing in micro limits...
but my bankroll nowadays is about zero...even if i ship a tournament for 4 k tommorow ,,the trackersites will say i am a profitable player with a very positive ROI.
so thats not objective...
hope doomdy can clearify ,,
the name of that player i mentioned is ''uhhmee'' check his stats and if u want to become a winner, follow this guy and see how he does things...
if i am correct he has highest prizemoney over 2011-2012 on PS ,although his ROI is around 27%+
he must have gigantic amounts of fpp on his acount..with a total prizemoney of 1.77 million last year.

Posted by Greenmohave: Doomdy, did you actually make that much playinng poker? I mean, you stated you love the micros due to the donks. It just seems like it would take quite some time to make that type of a BR playing at that level. If so, I'm very impressed. Took me 10 years to bank that much working at a farely decnt job!
I gonna do a roughly estimate, cos have the exact numbers from PKR but not of all other network i played where i cleared a small first deposit bonus/gift offer or just grinded some time with nice rakeback.
Started with DoNS only first $5 ones then within 3 months orso $10 ones. Firstly played DoNs on many networks like Ipoker Sunpoker, Ladbrokes, Ipoker ect ect ect, problably played DoNs to clear bonusses on 30+ networks, all bonusses from $25 upto $600. All with max total rakeback cos my winning rate at DoNs was just arround 10% ROI so max the volume and good deals makes you some money.
Roughly estimate:
PKR: Games: 17.500 Average stake: $10 Paid rake: $17.500 (17.500 games with average $1 rake a game) Profit: $18.500
Other skins estimate (total): Games: 20.000 Average stake: $7,50 Paid rake: $15.000 Profit: $12.000
So roughly combined its something like this: Games 37.500 with paid rake $32.500 and $30.500 profit. But thats excl rakeback, so now we do the rakeback calculation, i allways searched for the highest deals, if a deal was less then 50% i just skipped it cos its crap. At PKR i had a trick to earn even more rakeback with the reloads i did which even gives me more rakeback something close too 80% which is very nice if your a grinder. Many gift offers have more then 80% even 100%+ is possible.
Anyway roughly my rakeback was guessing something like 70% so to sum it up, total paid rake $32.500 multiplied with 70% rakeback makes roughly $20.000+ pure rakeback.
So totals: Total profit $30.000+ and total rakeback $20.000+ makes us a roll $50.000.
So you see how important a good deal is (Jess did tell many times). Without rakeback my roll wud be $30K but with rakeback its $50K.
Btw i cashed out $10K so roll is $40K
So yes did it kinda on micro, its just you have to grind so keywords are ABC TAG, best rakeback, multitable, patience.
