I recalled watching HSP and watching how much money all these guys have.  PLaying 300/600nl with 100 dollar straddle.  then i start reading that many of these players arent even playing 100 percent of their own money.  I mean unless you are durrrr, then you are most likely not.  Am i right on this?

Also there was a player named eskimo clark and i read about how much moneyhe made from tourneys and now its like hes asking for a stakes just for a 300 dollar tounament.  I read an article that a guy who didnt want to disclose his name said most live pros are broke and have backers for tournaments.  And even if they hit a big score, they dont get most of it b/c they are staked.

But when you look at the real cash game poker scene, 10/20nl is the highest running game that goes regularly and thats in bellagio in vegas and commerce.  Isn't it shockinw how big games don't even exist anymore compared to HSP?

I mean when was the last time there is actually like a 100/200nl game at a casino?  It probably happens not counting WSOP less than 3 times a year?

Also im shocked but how could some players who play so high end up going broke or close to it?  I read someone mentioned there was a guy who used to play 25/50nl heads up online and he saw him playing 2/5nl shortstacked and once he doubled up, he left.

Does anyone feel like poker gives a false illusion?  You see all the money on the table like in HSP but games like that dont even really exist much unless its on TV or WSOP?
