FGators: The Final Chapter [1.4m hands EV graph]

[[Phill]]

He is winning, yes.

No one is denying that - with FPPs as adjusted RB plus the odd tourney score till he though Stars was rigged despite him being one of the top ten online MTT players when he plays his A game (lol) he has probably done pretty well out of poker in the sense that the average player loses the rake so he is in fact in the top 5-7% of Stars 1/2.

Plus, if im interpretting the EV graph correctly he has been running badly for the last couple hundred thou hands. Ironically he says he has started c-betting more and "other changes" to his game and he has been winning during this period he is running bad.

But at the end of the day - someone could 12 table a breakeven game and make around $20 an hour or they could do so much more to improve that.

The fact is he could improve his earn rate by single tabling a HU cash game - he could increase his earn rate by playing less tables - the fact is he doesnt play for money, he plays for FPPs.

Ironically if he sells the porsche as soon as he gets it he will get, what, $80k? Plus with SNE status he gets a free ticket to the PCA, a free ticket to the WSOP and a ticket to the Monte Carlo EPT so thats over 40k of stuff right there.

But as i said in another thread if he had improved his game to a modest 2bb/100 by not refusing to take advice and by taking on some coaching he would have made a [censored] of cash - especially if you factor in him moving up at some point in his "career".
