Message: [QUOTE="Weregoat, post: 1559038, member: 62741"] A few questions: Have you ever played poker at the stakes Harrington plays? Have you ever played poker as long as Harrington has played poker? What if you were a successful poker player for 10 years, but your family (and yourself) were used to the high-rate of income, plus you were still winning, just you were getting bored with it. You wanted to travel, to learn, to do something other than grind it out at a table with strangers who all knew you and you knew only a few of them. "Hey, Sly, how's the kids?" They'd ask, and you wouldn't even know who they were. "Man, I have a ton of money," you'd say to yourself one day, "and it's all because of poker, but I just don't love the game anymore. Sure, I can still win, but I wanna spend time with my kids, my grandkids, my wife. She deserves such and such. They all do." But damn, you still need money. The market isn't showing the same growth it was before the war, you've got enough to put all of your grandkids through college should your children not be able to, you've got a beautiful house, lovely cars, and you start spending your life away from the felt. "Well, maybe I can pass this information on to somebody. [B]Who wants to be one of the greatest and have their knowledge be forgotten with their passing?[/B]" I don't know. I think I've gone beyond making my point. He doesn't need the money, and maybe he doesn't want to play poker that much anymore. And I'm pretty sure when he does play, he's using different strategies (I would be surprised to see Harrington trying to grind out a living at 50NL, 6-handed), or maybe the strategies he's writing don't apply to the game he plays. Of course he's doing it for the money. For the reputation. You can never have too much money. Even if he doesn't have grandkids, he may someday, and then great grandkids, and a generation after that. I'm sure he'll want as much money saved up as possible so they can all live comfortably. Or he's just going to buy a gigantic mountain of blow and go out in style. :eek: [/QUOTE]
