Isn't that like saying 'I know people that are really good drivers but they don't know how to slow down, they can go really fast and shift really well but they always end up crashing'?

Re: I got broke..
 

Perhaps I should have used the word "complete."

I'm not sure that it's worth arguing over sematics though, since I think we can agree that good bankroll management is very important to being a winner. We might disagree about what constitutes a "good" player, b/c maybe we have different criterea. (Personally I think a good player is a long term winner, regardless of natural talent, knowledge of the game, etc. And yes, I realize this excludes a lot of people with mad crazy skills at the table. They would take my money most of the time, then shoot it in their arm.)

Yep. You can't be a good poker player without good money management.

I mean yeah, it's just semantics - I was just trying to be a little facetious.
