I love the fact that Fedor wasn't allowed in any of the big events and is crushing it on the $$$ list.
Players from The Hustlers reality show - what are they doing now?

This is true. He’s gifted and paid his dues.
Mike plays every bit of 800+, he will for the next 20 years until he gets old. He will never play weak.
Shame he didn’t listen(I won’t put that biz in the street) beyond what I’ve said.
All the best,
Fatboy
In the video with Tooth there was $110,000 in the LV bag that night. And I had an armed under cover body guard the whole time that year at the Derby. I lost millions of $’s that day in a bogus court ruling about 6-7 hours before that was caught on camera. That’s why I had my nose open a mile wide, I’d have flipped for the buck 10 at that moment. I had just flew in from Vegas, I left early that morning went to court for 20 minutes and flew back out to Louisville.
The other video was staged. The one with Tooth was real. FWIW. I learned how to make $ in pool rooms, carried that into biz which is still paying me just fine. I’ll always credit the people who helped me come up. While I was never a great player, I always find action in what ever I do and ain’t scared to bet. That’s what I got from pool.
Good luck Mike, could have been different

Does Mike really make more than that? If so, I'd be impressed.
I also think he gets paid for his sponsorship(s). Dude probably clears 200K easy.
Has anyone in the forums run into this Showtime guy?
I'd think with as big of a personality as he shows, someone would have heard of him.

Mike played in the Predator event in Tucson last winter. I remember watching him. I think he lost in a shootout. He didn't look great but I'm sure he can still play 800 speed.
or expenses flying around and staying at i assume at least $130.00 per night Hotels plus restaurant food.
I'd wager he doesn't pay most of his expenses.
I agree, Ross didn't seem anywhere near a 713 Fargo rating. It's been a while since I watched the show but I remember him being about even money to beat the 6 ball ghost. He was definitely low on their totem pole/list. He must have not showed his true speed and hustled us all...touchè!
That was 5 min of my life I want back!
Well then you aren't a pool player.That was 5 min of my life I want back!
Well, if talking a bunch of S#it is the prerequisite for being a pool player, I guess I'm not one.
Thank you MR. Simpson.
It's my understanding that ratings in Fargo are re-evaulated daily. Your rating un Fargo can go up or down, and does take in account of current competition or lack of (say you haven't played in 3 years). Maybe it was last year, I recall seeing a thread or two on AZ speculating on decline in the Fargo rating for the Chinese players. It was attributed to them not able to compete due to COVID lockdown, than to losing matches.
If you want more details, check out the Fargo App. If you have a player profile, you have the option to make your match history public. Off the top of my head, Mika and Hunter are two Pro players that made their match history public. You can then check if a player is competing or not.
Fargo rating is two parts, the rating and robustness (number of games in the system). Anything less than 200 is just a starter rating.
SOMEONE on here has to have run into Showtime.
Any stories?
We all love the Fatboy stories, no Showtime stories?
