mike,

It's poker, not rocket science.

"If I could have played poker 10 years ago given what I know now, I would've made about $100 million. (exaggerating, but the point stands)"

But his point is, "what you know now" is based on the wealth of resources available. If you played 10 yrs ago you would have basically had no resources and been just as bad as everyone else.

Definitely not suggesting it's the rule rather than the exception but, for the guys who are in the rooms everyday making their living off of tourists, this is an example of one way they can do it.

About 4AM the other night I saw a 3 handed 75-150 Stud game going. 2 of the guys are good buddies, play well and are there everyday. The game, if you can call it that, was built around the odd man out who probably thought he was playing an average 3 handed game.
