Default Re: Where is the money coming from in high stakes poker?

Andy Beal is unquestionably a very intelligent businessman.

But he was the biggest poker fish in history, even though he played very well.

THE critical decision in poker is game selection. If you play against better players, you will CERTAINLY lose over the long term.

He played against the best in the world and lost over $10,000,000. That makes him the biggest fish of all time.

Regards,

Al

Is it really that simple? Didn't Beal almost bust the pros bankroll?

Yes, and he beat the majority of them. They are also unwilling to play at the stakes he would like.

I think calling Andy Beal a fish is ridiculous.
