Re: Ted Forrest
I think what he meant is that Greg had a day job before he turned pro and values/respects/fears the lack of money much more than your average professional/degenerate gambler.
In an ESPN interview, Phil Ivey said that if you drop $500K in a cash game one day and start to think what you could have bought with that money - you'll go nuts - it's just the job.
BTW, I would classify any pro poker player who loses big money playing craps as a degenerate gambler.
