Andras Nemeth

Andras Nemeth, born and based in Budapest, Hungary, first made his mark in the online poker world under the screen name "probirs." He rose to the top of the global online rankings, briefly holding the #1 spot on PocketFives with an estimated $17.7 million in online tournament winnings, surpassing compatriot Péter Traply. Nemeth later requested that his PocketFives page be removed, preferring to keep a low profile. His online success includes multiple titles in PokerStars' SCOOP and WCOOP series, as well as a 2020 WPT World Online Series title. He also plays under the alias "PokerBluff1" on the GGNetwork.

Nemeth transitioned to the live arena with remarkable ease. He has accumulated over $10 million in live tournament earnings, ranking 2nd on Hungary's all-time money list. His best live cash came in December 2025 when he finished runner-up in the WSOP Paradise $100,000 Triton Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event for $1,751,000. In October 2025, he won the PLO Grand Slam Malta €10,300 Championship for $474,056. Earlier, he secured a Triton Poker title in 2022, winning the Triton Cyprus $50,000 6-Max No-Limit Hold'em event. Nemeth is also a multiple champion on the European Poker Tour (EPT), with five EPT trophies confirmed by PokerNews after his December 2024 Mystery Bounty win, and a sixth EPT Prague €25,000 High Roller added days later. Despite his deep runs, he has yet to win a WSOP bracelet, finishing 5th in the 2026 EPT Paris €25,000 PLO High Roller for $96,878 and 1st in the 2026 EPT Monte-Carlo €10,200 PL Omaha 6-Max for $198,000.

Nemeth is renowned for a hyper-aggressive, technically perfect style deeply rooted in Game Theory Optimal (GTO) principles. He is particularly feared in Pot-Limit Omaha, where his unorthodox betting lines and ability to apply relentless pressure set him apart. His strategy combines exceptional post-flop technicality with a low-ego willingness to take thin value bets. While online he plays aggressively, live he exhibits patience and focus, balancing theoretical knowledge with adaptability across different variants. In a 2024 interview with Spadepoker, Nemeth stated that consistency is his primary goal and that recognition from fellow top players matters more than money list rankings.

Nemeth's 2025-2026 campaigns have been among his most successful. He continues to perform at the highest levels, with wins in high-roller PLO events and deep runs in major mixed-game tournaments. His estimated total net worth, including online winnings, exceeds $15 million. Despite his success, he remains media-shy, giving few interviews and rarely appearing on livestreamed cash games. Nevertheless, he is a revered figure in the Hungarian poker community and an inspiration to aspiring players. His legacy is defined by technical mastery, low-key dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in both online and live arenas.

Very little is publicly known about Nemeth's life before poker, as he has consistently avoided the media spotlight. The earliest known interview is a brief Hungarian-language clip from 2009 at the Unibet Open in Prague, and a longer 2009 radio interview that has since been lost. Nemeth confirmed in a 2024 Spadepoker interview that he started playing poker in his late teens, drawn to the strategic depth of the game. He rapidly progressed from low-stakes games to high-stakes online tournaments, eventually adopting the alias "probirs" that would become synonymous with online dominance. In those early years, he eschewed social media and public appearances, focusing entirely on honing his technical skills.

Within the Hungarian poker community, Nemeth is a revered figure, often collaborating with fellow high-stakes legend Laszlo Bujtas. The two have been known to discuss strategy and share insights, contributing to the strong Hungarian presence on the international circuit. Despite his solo grinding style, Nemeth has mentored emerging players from his home country, though he does so privately. In interviews, he has expressed that recognition from peers—not money list rankings—is what he values most. He remains one of the few top pros who has never accepted a public sponsorship or ambassadorship, preferring to operate independently.

As of mid-2026, Nemeth's live tournament earnings exceed $10 million, placing him 184th on the all-time money list and 2nd on the Hungarian all-time list behind only Péter Traply. His best live cash remains the $1,751,000 runner-up finish in the 2025 WSOP Paradise Triton PLO Main Event. He has 154 live cashes recorded on The Hendon Mob, with a Global Poker Index ranking of 717th. His online career is even more prolific: estimated winnings of $15-17 million, with a peak as the #1 player on PocketFives in 2019 (before he requested his page be removed). Nemeth has yet to win a WSOP bracelet or a live WPT Main Tour title, but his consistent high-performance across both online and live events solidifies his status as one of the most well-rounded players in the game.
