Do any players play professionally on Sky Poker?

Apologies for the ignorant question, and I am by no means mocking Sky Poker, but just wondered out of curiousity if many (or any) players play for a living on the site?

    Yeah lots. There are more well known ones who are part of TSP (Team Sky Poker) like Gliterbabe (Wayne Rideout), lolufold (Redmond Lee) and lJamesl (James Williams) although he did leave TSP recently.

    But apart from them well known ones, I suspect there is a pretty big amount of people who make a very good living from poker but arent particularly famous. If the September profit thread was anything to go by, then there's definitely quite a few people making some tidy money.

    there are a lot of big names who play the site, probably not a high volume, but they are there

    there are at least 20 grinders from nl50 -nl200 who play pretty much full time

    pretty sure there are some people who make their living from poker down as low as nl20 tbh.

    plus there are some DYM/SnG specialists too.

    There will be loads. 2guys1acct is in fact Jamie Burland, El Rupert is Rupert Elder. There will be loads who play on the site but under names that nobody recognises. I know Trevor Harris plays quite a bit HU but under a different account than his employee one as he said so the other week.

    You go through recent players as above like James Williams lJamesl, Wayne Rideout Gliterbabe, Redmond Lee (LOLUFOLD), among quite a few others like Offshoot and until recently CoxyLboro.
