Mols worked on his game by "reading and analyzing his game" until he improved. He reportedly earned between $4 and $5 million playing online tournaments and cash games at stakes below $25/$50. In 2012 on a thread at Two Plus Two Publishing, Mols documented his goal to play 100,000 hands on PokerStars' Zoom format at the highest stakes and achieve at least a 6 EV bb/100 win rate. He achieved a 3.9 EV bb/100 win rate on his first marathon and a 7 EV bb/100 win rate on his second attempt.[3] Mols has been referred to as an online poker "boss".[4] Professional poker player Andres "Educa-p0ker" Artinano, claimed observing Mols improved his own game play and ranked Mols along with Linus Loeliger and Timofey Kuznetsov as one of the top three 6-max no-limit hold 'em players in the world.[5][6]

Mols played in the 2016 World Championship of Online Poker $102,000 Super High Roller where he was eliminated by eventual champion "bencb789".[7]

In March 2018, Mols won a $157,425.70 pot online after getting all the money in preflop holding K K against Timofey Kuznetsov's A A. They agreed to run the board twice. The first board ran out 3 K 4 2 6 and the second board came 6 K 9 7 3 giving the entire pot to Mols.[8][9]
