that's the brilliance of the entire moneymaker story... and due to that fact alone is what made online poker what it is

Discrediting a player because "he got lucky" is delusional. Five hundred excellent players leave the WSOP Main Event before the final table each year and you say the winner "got lucky?" If you beat 2k to 8k players to get a prize, including 500 of the very best in the world, you WON that prize!

And, YOU are falling easily into the "older generation" stereotype, where you "just don't think" the younger generation does or is capable of anything remotely different from yours. Grab a rocker grandpa, and watch the ebb and flow of human progress as the generations pass you by.

Traveling all over the country playing $300 - $500 events every day just is not that fun if you have a couple million in the bank. and if you only play the 10ks and say 15 WSOP events there just are not that many to build a good sample size from.

so basically what im saying is all the fult tilt guys have made enough money (mostly from sponsorships that they are not going to put in the tourney volume anymore.) and if they did play 300 buy ins every day (because that is what is mostly out there in terms of the major circuit stops people would criticize them for playing a low buy in and say they are busto.)
