Top Cash Game Players February 2026

Top Cash Game Players February 2026

Together with StatName, we continue to cover the results of the best cash game players across different stakes and rooms over the past month. We try to highlight interesting patterns and standout performances at every limit, from NL10 all the way up to the overall rankings.

But first, as always, a few important notes:

  • StatName tracks net profit at cash tables. Rakeback, leaderboard rewards, and promotional bonuses are not included in the statistics.
  • StatName only tracks results at regular cash tables (fast-fold tables are excluded).
  • StatName data may differ slightly from your HUD due to import inaccuracies, but the sample sizes remain representative and provide a reliable picture of player performance.

NL/PL10: McCormack.I Topped the Rankings With $976

McCormack.I plays NL10 and NL25 and topped the NL10 best players leaderboard for the first time.

888poker grinder NasikStar made the top 3 — one of the best players of 2025. Pay attention to his volume: 50K hands — more than the other players.

NL/PL25: Proof That PLO Is Booming

Planning to switch from NLHE to PLO? Not sure when or what limit to start at? We recommend trying $0.10/0.25 on PokerStars. Six PL25 players on PokerStars made it into the top-15 at this limit.

LoStCaRLoS earned the most: $3.2K. Incidentally, he also led NL/PL25 in January with a profit of $2.5K. It’s strange: February had fewer days, but he won more.

NL/PL50: iPoker Regulars Are on Top

If you play at the $0.25/$0.50, consider the iPoker network rooms (RedStars Poker and Champion Poker). The biggest winner at this limit was nobodyman13 (iPoker), with over $4,700. Three other iPoker network players also made it into the top 10.

Also note that three more players from the iPoker network once again featured in the rankings.

To put this into perspective, Mangilik ranked 12th among the best NL/PL500 players for all of 2025, with a profit of $23K. In February (the shortest month), Mangilik won 80% of his annual profit.
