I know White Kinght ... nice lad he is too!
Does not get to play as much live as he would like but Rock image is one he works on alright .. good to see other players like aidan noticing!!
Might as well add something constructive to the OP while I am here....
I have been reading the poker forum for must be at least 2 years now and am only recently a poster in the last few months. The forum has opened my eyes to strategy, maths, tournaments, poker community and some decent people too. Poker is a game that can be played on so many levels, not just stakes wise but talent, charisma, stupidity levels too!!
The "best" player on this forum is ..... noone! Everyone that posts here will have attributes that would belong in the all time best poker player of the universe! And even that player will get outdrawn and busted from the majority of tournaments played. We all respect individual pros like ivey, hellmuth, andy black etc etc and in a similar fashion we have a respect for players we play with live ourselves. But the very nature of poker is to have respect for ALL players but to believe you are the best yourself. Believe you can reraise a player preflop and get him to put down his hand, believe you can outplay a player on the flop, believe you can bluff a player off a big pot! I always think to myself that you have to believe in yourself and have patience. 2 key attributes of many required but 2 i focus on!
Success is something different for everyone. As in "real life" your successes and goals are relevant to you. you should not judge yourself against anyone elses successes. Whats the point really? whos got the biggest di** ... I know people who play 10/20 NL and i know players who play .02/.04 stakes. If they came to me and said they won a tournament/cash in a ring game id be equally congratulatory for each of them.
To poster... if you had have asked the Q .. what players on board you respect and why, you would have gotten a lot more (important and relevant) info on people who post here!0 -

therefore the definition of success must be the one who not only enjoys winning the most but who uses those winnings to make his life even more enjoyable, even if it sometimes means giving most of it away.
that's the only success worth experiencing.
now, has anyone a loan of a fiver?
I will make a modest claim to be the best speechplayer here :cool:
unfortunately my appalling level of poker skill somewhat negates this advantage
Norwich Fan Rob and Mr Pillow Talk probably making the most money that I can see if that helps the OP0 -

why on earth would you use thepokerdb to measure success?
it only counts tournament wins,which isn't really indicitive of a players success /poker skill anyway (if it was steve dannenman would be top ten players of all time) and it also doesn't include the tribeca network,which most of this site seems to play on,and loads of other sites...
you're only mentioning it cause you come out close to the top if that was the measure,i've got more than twice your tourney cashes on other sites and wouldn't even think to mention myself as the most successful player on the site based on this,to be honest a good 1/2 nl player makes more in a year than your total,and is a better player too...
if you're measuring success by money,then, excluding the couple of big name players who've posted the odd message up,i would presume mrpillowtalk is the most successful of all the regular posters,since he seems to have been consistently successful at 5/10 and 10/20 nl for a while now (from what i can gather)
two questions were asked in the op though,most successful and whose advice you should listen to
though mr pillow talk is probably the most successful,the posters who give the best advice are fuzzbox,hectorjelly and roundtower,and its not even close (no offence to mrpillowtalk,but i just haven't noticed as many really good strategy/theory posts from him as much as the others mentioned,which is not to say he's not as good a player,he may well be better than all three)0 -

Why not quote something along the lines of the pokerdb??? It is a factual representation of how successful he has been in the period it represents on the site. And even if he is only mentioning it because he is near top does that mean because he is not being modest he cant be successful? Why shoot him down like that?? No need at all. It is more factual than some posters who post about their winnings but rarely hear of their losses! There are other such sites out their for other networks tournaments too.
No one in this thread defined what defined the most successful on Boards in the context of the OP .. in particular the poster himself.
In terms of advice ... I enjoy the analysis of fuzzbox, gholimoli etc etc and it gives a great insight in to their thinking as good players. All players that use this boards facility should use it as a learning tool ... There are times I wont agree with their line of thought but thats what debate is for .. Debate can also change others views if held in the right spirit (complete opposite spirit to Rooney and Hector:D) and can help enlighten and improve all our games!

you obviously didn't understand my post because the answers to your questions were all explained with it..also,no need to react to this so emotionally,i'm not trying to start a flame war,my post was factual...
the reason to not quote thepokerdb is because it only represents tournament winnings on the biggest sites,and rooney dives wasn't even quoting that,he was quoting only pokerstars results,because that is the site he plays on!
if you are seriously suggesting that the most successful player on this site should be measured solely by who has the most winnings in pokerstars tournaments then i don't even know how i should explain things to you...
i wasn't trying to shoot rooneydives down to hurt his feelings,but his post was ridiculous-to suggest that online tournament poker is a greater measure of skill than online cash or live cash/tournament play is crazy,and for him to say that success should be measured within the field in which he has had some (extremely modest) success is pretty lame...0 -
