  1. I agree the simulation program sounds pretty cool. I also liked how the auther briefly goes into each players background a little. You wouldn't know from looking at Doyle Brunson was at one time real athletic, or that Greenstein left Symantec with no real fortune. and it seemed that lot of these players come from strong or above average education or from families that have a good educational background.
  2. After reading The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King I am even more amazed by her than most other players male or female. She took it to beal in the early games and without the Kidney problem I think she would have owned him again.
  3. I finished this book off quicky. I found it very interesting and quite amaing how these guys could risk that much money. While it was heavily in depth with each individual it was deep enough to get a good understanding of the players backgrounds. I think most people poker fans or not will enjoy this book to some degree. I never knew these events happened prior to reading this book so it made it that much more enjoyable.
  4. Thanks Glad I didn't rent it. Can anyone recommend some good poker movies besides Rounders, or lock stock and two smokin barrells I guess I call that a poker movie.
  5. Can anyone say if that movie about Stu Ungar that came out a two years ago was good ? I saw the DVD but wasn't sure, the reviews I read online were mixed so I'd like to hear what others think.
  6. Come to think of it GreenStein should play him. He likes giving his winnings to charity so this would be a wonderful opportunity to give a bunch to charity.
  7. Maybe Daniel will challenge him ? This book looks very good from the excerpts.I'm buying copy, should be decent eye candy!
  8. Ok, maybe a better question do you think they are in the 6 figure range or 7 figures+ ?I know for all the tables we see them at im sure they are in other tourneys and lose money.
  9. Just curious if anyone may have a good idea what the avg annual salary a professional player like Daniel, Brunson , Hellmuth etc usually earns just from the poker games alone. Tourney or regular.I'm not including any money from endorsements/or other ventures just playing poker.
