Re: brand name poker pros who are near broke
a wonderfully eye-opening post.
although i am assuming you meant '2004' and '2003' in the places where you referenced '2003' and '2002' unless this article is older than i thought.
jesse may's book 'shut up and deal' may not be the epitome of literary greatness....but it tells similar tales of running away from debts-owed, etc in the world of high-stakes limit-poker. it also makes all the players out (including himself) to be non-stop, back-stabbing, tilt-prone, gambling-addicts.
the various tales in the book are similar to some of the incidents nolan describes.
coincidentally, jesse may is now the announcer on late-night poker and also on some of the fox-sports net poker telecasts.
