Great players who don't play much

I can understand having a life outside of poker and enjoying your success or even moving to playing live more, but there are some great players that you rarely see playing online anymore. Do they just get bored with poker or playing online or what?

I'm sure there are a lot more I'm not thinking of but they were all highly profitable players and put in a fraction of the volume they used to. Who are some others?

"Action" Jeff Garza would rip it and be ranked high if he put in a lot of volume

the people you named play alot of live 10ks and stuff i believe.  i guess its tough to grind 100 fos and shiiit when your used to playing a 500 person tourney where first is a mill+ then to go home and long on and the biggest tourney of the week is a 7k person tourney where first is 255k.

Pi, so what is the secret to winning these 7k+ $255k scores?  Wish you would put in more volume too!  Could simply be the illest!  JQ

I don't know about Waco/Menlo, but I do know that annette does still play online very regularly, but not just grinding daily donkaments. Look around at the HU NL/6-max PLO tables 5/10-25/50 from time to time...

I think Annette still plays a lot on the euro sites too since she is sponsored by betfair. Just doesn't need to grind anymore. Obv the illest who doesn't play much is lilholdem.
