Re: How did the early players do it?
Gotta remember the opposition was also much softer then, given that all this literature wasn't available to them either. If I could have played poker 10 years ago given what I know now, I would've made about $100 million. (exaggerating, but the point stands)
Plus, many of those big name pros HAVE gone broke, some many times.

Re: How did the early players do it?
That and the fact they were cheating, hustling, colluding
scumbags who worked in teams from shared bankrolls. Old-school poker was quite a different game than it is played today...like the difference between rugby and golf. I'm sorry if this ruins your idolatry of pool sharks who started playing cards one day in the back room. -ZEN

But his point is, "what you know now" is based on the wealth of resources available. If you played 10 yrs ago you would have basically had no resources and been just as bad as everyone else.
