Some of us thinks that is a sad story not a funny one.

Please.

I also agree with Vince's post.

If Ray Zee or Ed had posted exactly what Mr. Lepore said, there would have been 10 people agreeing and slobbering on his knob before he'd had chance to hit reply.

I agree that it is more of a sad story then a funny one. I think it is sad that a person with some talent for the game is doomed to be habitually broker because they can't control their own impulses.

I think it is sad that Sam had 160,000, which would have given him a nice bankroll to play any level up to 100/200 or 200/400 and blows it in one day.

I find it sad that Sam and other simaliar pros lack bankroll managmement skills and that this one flaw will keep most of them perpetually broke.

Obviously there are those in this thread that find this funny. They are the caring human beings we should admire.

In a discussion with another 2+2'er, we both agreed that neither of us will ever be one of the household-name poker players, because we both abhor the idea of going broke.

I feel that just about all the top pros are willing to risk more than I am, and therefore reap greater rewards.

Or go broke. There was an interesting thread in the WPT forum in which Daniel N. and Scotty N. were involved in a tournament. the particulars are not important. What I found interesting was that Daniel had put Scotty in the tournament. Why would a top tournament pro "Scotty" need someone to put him in a tournament? O.K. maybe he didn't need it, maybe there was a good reason other than money. I just can't think of one.

i couldn't agree more. you wanna gamble with 5K in a tournament you should have 200K backing it up and understand you're taking a shot. or get a backer.
