This is ridic close. Im betting both of these guys wont do much sleeping/partying this last day of the year. GL to them both.

wow, sick how they are both deep in so many tourney right now

stars have taken all their guarantees off for today so looks like uaredead won't have a chance to claw it back

Sick race!

sick. was def rooting for uaredead but v difficult w no guarantees today

rlly not trying to attack you personally or anything just dont get your comment.
sure there are a ton of players with better skills (specially comparing to uaredead) but both of them are profitable online poker grinders who both deserve respect for their work ethik and nice results in 2011.
I mean wizo is up almost 350k on stars only - he can not be that bad?

i really know nothing about either of these players, and i'm not talking about either of them in particular....

however...just because someone is up a lot of money doesn't mean that they're good at poker. a lot of these super grinders are very very marginal marginal winners at the game. they have extremely small roi's and frankly just are very basic and not that good. with that being said, they play a TON of tournaments, and really grind out that edge, and wind up making a tonnnnn of money because of it.


edit: a quick opr of uaredead will show that he's played nearly 50,000 tournaments this year alone on stars...i was never a huge grinder, but i put in some volume...my lifetime tourneys on stars are under 10,000.....

loooool.....so over a year this works out to be 137 tourneys every day which is about 6 per hour - beastly

wizo is decent, makes some terrible reshoves but i suppose that's part of playing a zillion tables

uaredead isn't good but w/e, more power to him for grinding like he does and finding a way to make $ despite not being that good

uaredead lol is bad, like everyone else while 50tabling! he obv knows what he's doing and why he is doing. not winning the tlb is just wow....... feel rly sry for him, rly sick grinder.

wizowizo is not terrible! agree he made some strange shoves. but his volume + abi + roi is just sick! he's def a sicko and is def not a basic average player with a ton of vokume. i read some advice from him in a german forum and he's def a great player and knows exactly what he's doing. plus he has a volume that is more or less realistic for one single person.

not sure about uaredead. could also be that there are two guys, and one of them is good and showed the other guy how to play and the other guy makes all those stupid mistakes people are talking about.

so sick that wizo won.......... i mean im happy for him etc but after playing like 50k tourneys in one fkn year and sitting there like robot for 365 days and doing such a hard work this is just sick. just imagine how u would feel... almost have to puke. no disrespect to wizo but think uaredead had the lead for like the whole year and suddenly he's 2nd. wizo's ships today have a lot to do with it i guess.

i think 20k dollars (2 stamps to main events)? dont know how many 10ks there are, if it's only EPt, PCA and WSOP MEs then it's prolly less difference since the 2nd gonna pick the three most expensive most likely. but i dont really think it's that much about the difference. either ure the winner or ure the runner up! for you or me it prolly isn't a big difference but for both of them it's a very big deal, ure not playing 60k mtts in a year to finish second.

Best post of the year!!

very well put by kleath, a headsup battle in the big 3.30 seems appropriate and one-time ship the yearly to pessagno.
