This reminds me of when Diablo and I had a long conversation about what was in Greg's Big Gulp. My opinion as a professional fat person was either Mnt. Dew or Diet Coke/Pepsi. I believe I was wrong.

Ah "prettyboy" (all one word) you actually have to enter a tournament to be a champion. I do believe that you understand that. No?

I can play 600-1200 at the Bellagio all day, win or lose a few tens of thousands, and when I'm done playing and hungry, I'll drive over to Taco Bell rather than spend $40 on dinner via room service.

Maybe I have some hope of becoming a champion. I can win or lose a few hundred playing 20/40, then walk to Wendy's or Jack in the Box for a couple 99 cent specials. I bring my own water.

I'll win or lose $20 playing 2/4 at Sam'sTown, then walk to the sports book at the Orleans for a $.75 hot dog. The really cool thing is, the Orleans poker room has a water cooler, so I don't have to carry anything.

Damn, you walk from Sam's town to the Orleans? I ride my bike from that area (I am living about 6 blocks from Sam's Town) to the strip. Did just get my seat stolen at Sam's a couple weeks ago.

Just about every big stakes player I've read about has gambled on other games. Brunson, Straus, Pearson and the Texans were famous for betting on sports and all kinds of propositions. Greenstein admits to losing over $1mm playing Chinese poker (with Ted Forrest!). Don't think you can play really high without having alot of gamble in you.

Heck - many of these guys even take continuous prop bets about what's going to come on the flop (some of the recent entries on the Bellagio $2k/$4k game in Daniel Negreanu's blog talk about this at length).
