Come on man, let's drop the B.S. and get back on topic ...

#1 - Where did you conclude I was an Ivey fan?  Not even close.

#2 - Counterpoint that there is no guaranteed paycheck?  Why?  That's a no-brainer - it's not even arguable.  At no time did I even hint I had a problem with that statement.  In fact it's even worse than you state because of all the costs they have to incur in the pursuit of a payday.

#3 - What you have failed at is your insinuation that poker players like Phil Ivey (we'll use him since you are so wrapped into bringing him down off that pedestal) cannot sustain a living without outside endeavors.  What proof do you have that his $15,000,000.00 in winnings is unable keep him fed and sheltered (sarcasm) and that he "NEEDS NO OTHER SOURCE OF INCOME?"

#4 - Here's why the moron statement (just so we are clear):
"...once someone learns basic math, chip count, position, etc., they know as much about the game as almost anyone else.
Think about it: if one's math knowledge guaranteed success long-term at  the Hold Em tables, David Sklansky would be regularly seen at final  tables.  Instead, you rarely even see him even playing the game."

This makes it very clear your experience with the game and the people involved in it are very limited.
