"I used to play 80/160 with $3,200 bankroll" -- Negreanu

How do you know they don't have merit? Is it because you don't want to believe it? Prove i'm wrong! I didn't call you a liar yet you call me one. SO PROVE IT!

[Smoothcall]

So i guess you need to go broke to be considered a good poker player. I guess i suck because i haven't. Knock on wood.

El,

You have no idea what you are talking about. Every great poker player always has a 300BB bankroll. Usually 500 to be safe. They start at .50/1 and bonuswhore until they get 500 bb's at the next level. They never cash out any of their bankroll. Once they are 8 tabling 15/30 for 3.62342 BB/hr, they have reached the pinnacle of poker existance and have sex with many attractive women. Obviously, Daniel was just trying to throw us off with his statements.

That much is definitely true, of course.

[Smoothcall]

LOL. You just want him to be kidding so bad.

Whose talking bs? You say most pros have gone broke. I say most haven't gone broke.

[/ QUOTE ]

For obvious reasons, I bet that the majority of players who play at very high limits have gone broke at some point on their way up to those levels.

Edited to clarify: that should probably more accurately say something like "the majority of pros who play or aspire to play at very high limits"

[Smoothcall]

Thank you! Now everybody tell Danny he is lying when he says he went broke. Because how could it be? If i say it its a lie. Now you see it in his own words lets see what you say now?

[Smoothcall]

Where did i say players who play very high limit? I said most pros don't go broke. Sure if they play over there head they can go broke. But most pros don't play over there bankroll. Thats one of the things that makes them pros. Knowing how to control a bankroll. My definaition of a pro is someone that makes there living playing poker(making money, not blowing a big bankroll). And you can't do that if your going broke. People who play high limit and go broke are not pros. They are gamblers. A pro is smart enough to not risk going broke.
