There are some well-known names who can lose hundreds of thousands (and in rare cases, millions) in a year from poker. Just because Kiwikaki did well in this tournament (and I love him) doesn't mean he can make it a living - you look at players like Greg Raynor who've won the Main Event, and proceeded to crap out poker at tables in Vegas and in other tournaments. Is poker more profitable? Potentially. But it's also a ton more risky. Think about it this way - for every dollar you gain from playing poker, someone out there is losing more than a dollar (after factoring in rakes and whatnot). Also online poker is so unstable now, especially with the Black Friday stuff... just because you "earned" money online doesn't mean you will actually be able to cash out... cant compare sc2 and poker money wise, poker is infinitely more profitable | ||

You start with 30,000. Blinds yesterday when they went into the money we're 1500 small 3000 big. Argument going on what's it about? | ||

I do not find him on the chip count list :/ Holy fuck how many times does this have to be explained before people start reading the thread lol... First of all, if he's flat out busted, Fayth would probably update us Second of all, the WSOP site and pokernews even, rarely update kiwikaki's chip count Just rely on word of mouth from the direct source which is Fayth. | ||

Depends on blind level and your stack. You seriously think ANY player at this stage would play that "strategy"? :D <3 the >))))))))0> | ||
