Well duh?

Sammy Farha is a great player from BC.

Big cash game player.And he has been known to say "If I win the bracelet I'll be nearly even this trip"

And he was only slightly exagerrating.

Look at MasterP / pornstar2pac. He considers himself a good player. But I have read threads where he is crying over nearly being broke.
I have won tournys' but then lose it in money games ( and I only play $2/4 cash games AT MOST. I play tourny's from$5 entry to high hundreds though.

(Interesting thing is how many MAJOR players ( both from this industry and on ladbrokes , the top European players like those from the "Hendon mob") I have sat at a table with when the entry was say $30)

Its a hobby. Its enjoyable , but realistically, like all hobbies it costs money.

I am happy that I'm still playing on tourny win money on PP , but I need a decent couple of wins soon or I won't be. (Have bubbled out in my last 5)

Haven't played poker online at all lately and have played sporadically offline at the casino. Just haven't had the money to do so lately and do it properly, especially as I prefer playing No Limit cash games when I can though I do enjoy the limit hold em games the casino offers at times. Played in a few tourneys but not a lot. Have had some monster bad beats. I have played a bunch of home games though (once or twice a week for quite a while) and those are quite easy to mop up on. Pay top 2 to 3 spots depending on how many people are playing with the lowest spot either getting their money back or double it. But that just pays for a night or two of drinking if I do come out ahead with a win, pays fort that night of drinking if I do ok and finish in the money each time but not a win, or a loss of only $10-$30 if I have a bad night (which isn't often with that group).
