Well its not profit is it? Its winnings. Doesn't take into account how many tournaments these guys have entered and how much they have paid up whatsoever.

That's what the site documents. When you seen $16m by Daniel Negreanu's name, it isn't stating that he has made $16m in pure profit from tournament play, just his total amount of winnings, and in that respect is accurate for the most part.

But thats what I'm saying - I think thats a skewed statistic. How much has Negreanu spent? He can obviously spend a lot more in tournament buy-ins then most if not all! I just think its a table that tells us a whole load of nothing, and the only reason its of any note is that everyone used to get really bothered who was on top.

EDIT - Also worthy of note is that Jason Mercier's run-sick has ended. He didn't actually cash in this! This has to be the biggest shock in poker history. Apparently his run good IS mortal!

I think you can view it however you want. I use it to see who has had a good amount of success over certain periods of time. For example...

I think his 2012 is one of the stories of the year to be honest. If you check his Hendon Mob, he has really not done much this year at all.

Anyone got a good link to stream from tonight? WSOP has been pretty dodgy for me. They're showing it on Sky something I believe? Any online streaming service that someone could PM me?

ESPN are showing it on a slight delay with hole cards after a hands completed.

I think the WSOP stream will be up too.

Am I always checking streams at the wrong time. Wanna catch some good ME action.

Also so much for spoiler boxes. Managed to find out loads so far from this thread. Feel welcome to steam me when gooseberry fool is on.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - Scooped by **DML** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 2:49 pm

As far as I am aware we only spoiler the main event.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - Scooped by **Rex McGee** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:25 pm

I don't know why we can't spoiler everything. Not much effort.

Or I could just not read them

Got 1% of someone in the ME. PAYDAY.
