most pros(the TV pros!) dont make much online, its not how they play, tony G is a lucky guy, but wrong to say hes not a good player, Id guess your a play the cards person were as tony is more play the player, if I can make you fold with 93 does that make me good or bad?
All the big sites are full off donks thats why they have so many players, and it cant be judged by the $, if you earn 100k per year your not gonna play micro right, whats the fun in winning pennys for these more money then sense guys, all you can do is cash in off them.

Maybe. But these rooms have such a huge playerbase that they have a lot of bad players too. The quality of play in the lower limits is usually awfull, no matter the pokerroom.
To Tony G: He IS a luckbox. But he can read his opponents well. This is a dangeress combination in cashgames. On pokertube are some clips with him (The game, Million dollar cashgame) where he runs good.

ÖÖÖhhhm, the most succesful player online this year regarding cashgames is David Benyamine. And Antonius has first built a good roll online before entering the high live cashgames.
Plus: If you look at the time Phil Ivey has spent online this year and his winnings PER HOUR you wont find a more succesful guy.
Since i cant post the link here ( I guess ), just search for the keywords: Highstakes database poker at google and take a look at the statistics. Ivey is awesome online.

Benyamine was close to busto last year. The play in the high limits is very swingy, especially at PLO. And that is his main game. (Remember Kai Buxxe!)
Ivey plays at insanly high stakes, and most of the time HU. So one has to expect a high hourly rate.

You are completely wrong. Phil "I have won eleven braceletts" Hellmuth plays at Ultimate Bet. And he is the best hold'em player in the world (at least in his own mind)
Doyle Brunson has a room under his name, so he also does not play at Stars or Full Tilt.
But he can read his opponents well. This is a dangeress combination in cashgames. On pokertube are some clips with him (The game, Million dollar cashgame) where he runs good.
