which poker icon will be first to go broke
 

i am really starting to think that many of these young poker icons are overexposed and really getting into the celebrity lifestyle a bit too much.

Yes they are great poker players, but just like pro sports anyone can have a bad year sometime. The cards just might not go your way despite your best efforts, or your play may slip a bit.

But while your winning and on top of the world, everything is honky dory, and you can go and buy your sportscars, $22k bar tabs etc.

All it takes is one bad year, and the gambling tendencies some of these guys got and poof....they are yesterdays news and their sponsors will move to the new player flavour of the month.

OK..im a bit jealous i admit...but amongst some of these guys i find it quite disrespectful how they label other players and can talk like they are royalty in the industry, when all they have had is less than 2 or 3 really good years.

like doyle says...ask me in 20 years which of these young players are really good.

this is an odd thread. many players have gone broke numerous times over. on an interesting note in this vein though, i am curious to see where poker is in two or three years. it seems the game will swallow some of these 'stars' whole.

You're talking like it hasn't happened yet.

wait. are you saying it's not obvious who the weakest player in that group is?

all things being equal, if those guys played in every big event for 2 years starting today, i'd guess moneymaker would be begging for his accounting job on 5/3/07. after that, maybe antonio (high variance style). daniel plays a similar style, but would survive it if he ran bad (assuming his roll is 2-3x antonios).

ivey won't go broke any time soon.
i don't know how good lindgren is, but he seems pretty solid.
