To be honest, I wanted to make this thread to commend the recreational poker players that keep a steady inflow of cash into the games. Recently, I watched the Big Game in which Perkins was featured; needless to say he was horrendous throughout every episode, but guys like Bill Perkins are a must in poker. Without them, there would be a lot less baller poker player condos, etc. and the game would not be nearly as popular without them. Clearly, what I'm pointing out is the "obvious" and I'll probably receive some "Cool story, bro"s, but what I was wondering was who do you all believe to be some of the biggest donaters to the game of poker? Obviously the specifics of what they've lost would be hard to come by, but it would be interesting to know exact numbers that some of the biggest losers have lost.
A few I know of: Bill Perkins, Guy Laliberte and any random Asian business man playing in Macau.
