expected value of tournament play

[beachbum]

I play 5/10 limit SH myself and will be moving to 10/20 shortly. I think my NL tourney game has gotten better playing SH because it's taught me how to play "poker" and focus more on player reads.

Phil was definitely well off when he got into poker so that obviously helped. But he's made the most of his successes and pretty much has become a celebrity.
