 |
|
I like railing a lot of MTT's to see how people play and I stumbled into this one player who plays really bad, I checked his ROI on officialpokerrankings.com and it's about -89%. now this guy plays a lot of tournies, especially re-buy tournies and he always re-buys at least 4 times. it says his total winnings are just 2000$, which I don't understand because he's losing so much on poker.
How can he keep playing? he's not winning a dime and spending a lot of money on poker.
I also saw him play some cash games and losing money there, so I doubt he got his money from there.
he's name is test456789 if you wanna check it out of officialpokerrankings.com
I just think there's something weird going on here - does anyone else agree? where can he get so much money? it's not from poker, and even if he has a job, he can't be making that much. |

| This post does not make sense you say he has made $2000 but is losing so much on poker. |

| I should rephrase that sentence - his total winnings are just about 2000$ but he is spending so much more than that on poker that it doesn't make sense. |

| That still makes 0 sense. Are you trying to say his total prizes are $2000 ?. When you say winnings it means NET overall profit. |

| No, I didn't mean overall profit, I meant he won 2000$ in total form the tournies he played in, he obviously has no profit so I have no idea where he gets the money to play in this tournies. |

| it's quite simple, he is someone who likes to play poker for FUN, some people out there just don't care about making money at poker ( a small amount) and he probally has a kick ass job and a tons of disposible income. |
