> Seat 2: CTS

Why is he listed? Nothing for nothing, but he is not in the elite group of online players. He has been running very hot (which is misleading him and others), and he does have some skill, but he's not in the company of aba, ozzy, durrr, etc.

Has anyone watched CTS play? I mean, really looked at his decision making? His biggest asset is that he's not afraid to push his chips around. He's also a one-trick pony with his flush draws.

Mark my words, CTS will be 'broke' within a year. Once variance kicks in, that is. At best, he'll be a low/mid-limit grinder when the dust settles. He simply doesn't have the poker mind or the instincts that the other top online players have. Seems like a nice kid, though (for his sake, I hope my prediction is wrong).

uhhhh, what? who wrote this and where?

cts is an unbelivable poker mind - he's also resisted the allure of the super nosebleed stakes (except super juicy games) until recently. in this respect, he is incredibly disciplined and is very unlikely to go broke - he knows when his game isn't working and isn't at all afraid to drop down to correct it.

i agree that cts is probably best at exploiting fish vs. beating pros, playing 6 max instead of HU, but if he works hard on these aspects of his game, he could be a consistent winner in almost any game.

why is antonius rated so highly? i included him on my list based on his rep - only one i haven't played against.
thanks

wrong



as for the 6 that I'd want to watch:

sbrugby, durrrr, genius, jins, perky, IDOJ (PA would be in somewhere if he counts as an online player)

rika,

this forum is super results-orientated, remember when aba had the big PLO downswing the forum ripped on him a ton, well 800k+ on FT and some more on stars and he has almost entirely recovered the PLO damage, also widening the FT NLHE gap to almost 2million

how this applies to Antonius is simple, Antonius has been running bad at NLHE lately and is on the wrong top10 list on HighstakesDB so the forum doesn't love him anymore

when he goes on a 2million upswing, PA will be back on everyones list
