Re: brand name poker pros who are near broke
hi mason,
between you and nolan posts, it seems both sides of the fence end up losing.
Successful businessmen give it a go at poker, only to have scrupulous poker players violate their trust to get their $$.
Then you say successful poker players give it a try in the business world, only to fail at the hands of scrupulous business schemes.
Not a rosy picture,,lol.
However, not that i am a poker pro or anything, i am also not gullible and protective of my $$.
If i ever went the pro route, i would stick to online ring games, and occasionally make a trip to one of the big tourney events just for the fun of it. AND i'd be sure to not stake anyone, no exceptions.
If they don't have the confidence to spend their own $$ on their own entry, why would i want to spend mine on them?
Actually Nolan, i think i read your article a couple months back. Have you since dropped the tournament circuit, or do you still play it occasionally?
