Unfortunately Rover, Online Databases of Live "Winnings" are constructed in a very peculiar way.
They take NO account of "losses" - they are simply a total of the Cashes the player has. So, a Player could spend $1,000,000 in Entry Fees in a year, earn gross cashes of $20,000, & his Online Database would say he had "won" $20,000, which is obviously a nonsense, as in fact, he'd have lost $980,000. But that's how they do it. The Databases also only record Live Tournament Cashes, & do not include Live (B & M) Cash-Game wins or losses.
TJ has barely played Live Tournament Poker in the last few years. It's a widely held view, & one to which I subscruibe, that he remains an outstanding player, but I'm afraid his "leaks" have been the undoing of him, as with so many other fine poker players.
