Why is Bonomo considered an online player? He's banned from the major sites, and if I'm not mistaken, he plays mostly live now, right?

OT

(please no Zeejustin jokes, and don't misunderstand this as a shot at him - he's an amazing live player. Just wondering why he's being included in the grouping...)

It's tough to differentiate who belongs to what category. The fact is that Bonomo has an online background whether he still plays or doesn't and the forums like to know what's happening with him. What about online cash game players, included or not? Many other players are in limbo like this for instance, Nick "TheTakeover" Schulman, online or not? Scott "BigRiskky" Clements, Nenad "serb" Medic, Jonathan "fieryjustice" Little. Whether you consider them to be a part of the online community or not, they are definitely of interest.
Some players have had so much success live, ex: JC "prtypkrsux" Alvarado, that they are now considered to be more of a live player. Obviously, I'm not going to call Vanessa Rousso "LadyMaverick" or Josh Arieh "nitbuster," but you see what I'm getting at.

Yup - makes good sense. (& he does contribute to 2p2 - even with the abuse he gets...)
