Message: [QUOTE="Crystal Blue, post: 1067544, member: 46561"] Currently active poker players online or otherwise, micro stakes or nosebleed, winning or losing, are still a work in progress are they not. I would of thought we can clearly agree that Doyle Brunson for instance will end his poker career as a big time winning player. The obvious reason for thinking/knowing that would be because it wouldn't surprise any of us if Doyle's last act on this earth was raising a pot. So we can conclude he will retire ahead of the way by a big margin. There are other long time very successful pro poker players out there that we can pretty much conclude will end their days big winners from the game, but of course we don't know for sure. There are also well known players out there who we might think to ourselves "Hmm, I'm not sure this guy is going to keep his past winnings if he carries on like this". Some very successful players up to this point are in their infancy so far as their poker career's go assuming they will still be around doing what they do in 5, 10, 20 years. Can we assume they will remain successful? for what it's worth, I don't think we can. No more so than they themselves can. If we could all predict the future, there would be no future. Current success can give us a sort of indication as to where a players future might be going but nothing is a given. If you play poker right to the end, you know, until you die, and there are stats available to measure your success or failure, I guess only then we can see how your whole poker life went. That would be your end result I guess. If perhaps you dropped out of the poker world at some point in your life and never went back, that too would give us the end result of your win/loss. But one thing none of us can do is know the end result while we still play the game. The likes of Doyle Brunson aside that is. Some players are more open to destruction than others. Some will always want to be at the highest end of where the action is. I guess those types are more open to going bust than the more placid types who happily go about their business somewhat under the radar. It's not over till it's over, and when it is over, that to me will be the time when the count begins. [/QUOTE]
