    Most of the players who were bigshots before the poker boom are nothing but chumps now because the level of talent has skyrocketed. If they're making money, it's because of sponsorships.

    I'm one of those guys that feel bad for athletes that go broke. Feel same way about poker players.

    The players during the poker renaissance thought they were so smart that this could go on forever. Black Monday killed their constant sponsorship money, then the young internet players came in and wiped the floor with them. They're done, it's over. Their only hope is the ones that diversified and have other hustles.

    I agree, came across as a Good Guy.

    I saw enuf videos. Makes sense that he BECAME the fish. He would play different games and just make up his own strategy. I watched one of the EPT videos, book was out on how to beat him - even the ANNOUNCER knew that he c-bet 100% of time.

    The Joe Ingram videos are pretty good. A little long-winded maybe, for anyone on a schedule.

    Love Fedor Holz. I hope he wins everything.

    New generation poker players are smarter, tougher and sharper than the previous generation.
    He should of quit poker and run away with his winnings years ago.

    Maybe, big players get hooked on the rush of the big event. He could go back to basics and grind away profits online - just not at the big stakes in the big time?

    He may have better luck playing against players who have not seen all his tricks on TV. The question is where to find such individiuals and how to convince them playing for wads of cash is a good idea?

    Completely busto?

    Barry has been grinding 50/100 limit poker for a while now. Sure, it's not the 1500/3000 game in Bobby's room, but that's still higher stakes than anyone on SBR has likely played.
