Online poker players are characterized by playing many more tables and hours than live poker players. The fact of being able to play on multiple tables at once means that much more volume can be played and this generates higher profits in the case of being a player with a positive ROI. But there is a user who took this concept to the extreme and has played almost a million tournaments!
The user was discovered by professional player Patrick Leonard 
«The grinder of all grinders. Tuborg123455 is reaching 1 MILLION tournaments played. To put it in context: if you played 20 tournaments, 4 sessions a week, for 10 years, you would have “only” 45.760 tournaments played», Leonard wrote alongside a capture of this grinder’s graphs.
In the graph, you can see how the user registers more than 900.000 games and a total of almost US$800.000 in accumulated winnings. Some users began to question the player’s profitability. Even Shaun Deeb 
«Does it really count being that they are probably spins and things like that? How many would I have played in my time?», Deeb asked. To which Leonard quickly replied: «He plays tournaments. And you played 11.704 (SNGs included), so he has almost 100 times your volume, somehow. And he also plays on other sites, not just on PokerStars!».
Noticing that several users were beginning to question «Tuborg’s» profitability, Leonard posted again, defending him.

«Those who talk about earnings of ‘only 800k’ must remember how much rakeback this would imply. Let’s assume he plays $30 average buy-in (winning $800k with $30 ABI is incredible), that would be $3 rake per game, so approximately $2,7M in rake would be paid. With a conservative rakeback of 40% (high-volume players usually get more), that would give us $1,08 million», the Briton calculated.

«First, that’s less than 3% ROI. Second, it’s still not much profit in more than 15 years (given the volume). There are many easier ways to get $120k a year working fewer hours», Berkey wrote.
Leonard was not willing to jump off the Tuborg ship easily, and counter-argued:
«$2M tax-free in Eastern Europe is the same as earning 8 figures in the United States. Also, this is on a single site. He clearly loves playing, grinding and studying every day. For example, he put in 15.000 ICMs recently. And I don’t think it’s that easy to earn US$120K».
Many question «Tuborg». He may not be the biggest winner, nor the most successful, but he is undoubtedly close to achieving something incredible if he reaches the million-tournament mark. How many players in the world can say they played a million tournaments? Probably not many.
