We generally post ~200bb+ pots, but if there's an
redbaron has to be the top nick for any guy who has been crushing everyone else so far
Fun subjective comparison to this list;
In 2008 I knew multiple people making a raw 500k+ a year from 2/4-3/6 fullring
The player taking the most out of the games was widely considered a fish (he was making >1mm from 2/4-1k fr)
Many 1/2 players were making half a million in a year after rakeback
There are probably 20 or more .5/1 players who made more than raw 500k over a 3-4 year period
He didnt perform well 6handed with Recs to be honest^^, seemed to like 3 and 5handed Regwars more.
SBvsBB 3h
BBvsSB 3h (Kanu might not like this one)
How do we know cool1992 is handz? Is this a joke?

shark nebulah?
Otb had winning years in SB but is down overall, but with only -4bb/100. He was winning money in BB 3handed.
Not sure to which Spot A-Game was refering, although his minimal Lossrate was exceptional anyway.
CooL1992 was renowned as one of the biggest bumhunters in the history of pokerstars. JMO/Carrycakes tweeted a few days back suggesting it was him. He's been playing on some of the big TV streams incl Hustler and Triton of late

I'd be surprised if this was accurate, but these people may have better sources. I think I heard in a stream that "Hookz" was playing the 25/50 Stars game more around 2005-ish, and that his nick was something sounding like hookem2127, with "hook" and numbers. I can't find old Stars datamines by googling right now, but this nick does kind of ring a bell to me.

JMO is a very reliable source. Doug mentioned somewhere handz is easily the best livereg and considering jmo and doug are good friends and handz played in dougs game he must have some clue who he is. Jmo has been trying himself to get himself invites in triton games over twitter with seemingly no success. I guess he just find it annoying what he wrote and also considering cool been active in app games for years where asfaik jmo have been playing very little poker and from the public eye is way more of a professional investor.
I feel quite clueless in terms of what it takes to make it into private games myself. But it's kinda amazing how him dissappearing from regular sites / not playing on gg/acr asfaik (possibly playing low volume under unknown screen name) > play apps and suddenly re-branding as some type of non pro/investor.
There is certainly a lot of mega sickos that been off the grind far longer that are/would still be considered sickos / non recreationals.

guess king10clubs was the last one to do the 500k+ at midstakes
the FR crusher who looked like a fish has to be shark nebulah right?
