No, don't you understand? When you have such a great tournament record you're allowed to do [censored] like that.

that dont mean dick
Looking at a players results just based on wins is foolhardy. He's won ~$400 K gross over the last what looks like 3 fulltime years playing big tournies(WPT,WSOP) seriously. Not sure on any details but its the concept involved here..If he plays just 10 big buy-in events $10K a year he is stuck $100K a year without a win. Three years worth of expenses just for buy-ins not even including the expenses of staying on the circuit-hotels,food travel etc probably cost him $100K -$200K a year depending on how many events he plays.

If you assume his net expenses for the circuit in 3 years are at a minimum $300K his $398K earnings are a net $98K win overall for 3 years of work-that sucks asss.

If he doesnt play all major bigbuy-in events and he plays more cash games thats another issue. I'm not privy to his mix of games but looking at a player gross tourney winnings over a time period dont mean dick until you know the players outlays over that time period.
