Default Some history on Prahlad\'s reign?

I'm not familiar with the online poker scene before mid 2006, so I'm curious as to a few things.

-How long was Prahlad considered the "king" of the online poker world? How long was he playing and beating the highest games online?
-How did the stakes change? Was the biggest game just 10/20 NL when Prahlad was first gaining notoriety? When did 25/50 and then 50/100 games first begin to surface?
-Was Prahlad still beating the 50/100+ games when he was last putting hours in during the first half of 2006?
-Did Green Plastic and Prahlad battle it out a lot? I know GP has been playing high stakes for a couple years now. Who do people speculate got the better of it overall?

Do people think that the overall skill of the top online NL players now is greater than when Prahlad dominated the games, or could Prahlad in his prime match up with the likes of sbrugby, Patrik and durrr today?

I don't know much but I can say 100% that Prahlad has not given up online poker. People have talked about him running hot then bustoing but I think if you look at his HH, you'll see how good his reads are.

I believe GP got way the better of it, to the tune of a couple 100k.

Wins_pot did well as well. Pharlad tilted hard against him.

Lodden Might have done the best

Pra openly admitted that GP was too good. That doesn't take away from Prahlad. GP plays a low variance no tilt TAG style that blows people outta the water once he gets a good # of hands in.
