That one of the points that Doyle Brunson keeps making in his Super System book - "people keep saying that I'm lucky".
 
OMG, I could not even begin to imagine losing that kind of money in one sitting. To me $25,000 is major. He has to have balls of steel in order to play at limits like that. I do realize he is a mulit millionair but still. GEEZZZZZZ

No he is deffently not my idol. I would have to say that my poker inspiration is Daniel and Ivey. They are both awsome and reading their opponets and making the money. Truly awsome players. I have to admit that I love Daniels baby face...lol
 
Gus is one poker player I like but I can never understand how he does it sometimes. He can pick the right spots to play some crazy hands and win, but it does cost him at times. If I ever came to a point where I was +$1Million I think I would just invest it and not gamble in high stakes anymore. Until I made another couple of million with my investments.

Although I hear that all pros have gone bankrupt once or twice (not sure if its true or meant as a warning), but anyways I think that alot of these guys know that they can make more money and make it faster playing, than they can by investing it.

I think you are right, but now-a-days alot of the biggest names have so much money coming in from sponsorships, that they really can play more with less worries. If only I could get a PS sponsorship...

Oh for sure you can make a lot more and make it a lot faster playing poker than you can investing. Unless you get some insider trading tips from someone that pays you big time.

But for me, after hitting $1 million playing poker, I would look to make that money work for me in something more stable than poker.
