I can EASILY name 10 successful 100bb players for every successful ratholer/cap player you quote: Ivey, Durrr, Krantz, Isildur, Nanonoko, Negreanu, Whitelime, Ansky, FlawlessVictory, NL__Fool, and countless others. Again, who would most players rather be in a vacuum if you could choose? I don't think I'm lacking in this department. I've spent a LOT of time thinking about it actually. My conclusions could be wrong, but not for lack of effortOriginally Posted by Micro2Macro
And, yes, some players can and do turn profit, but a LOT of players, myself included, believe that most successful ratholers/CAP players would make more money playing full. It's not a set in stone rule or law, but it's a general principle I think is true. The talent that allows them to make money with a shorter stack literally CAPs their win-rate.
