**jjgold** · 07-30-16, 06:59 PM

Rocky I have been saying it for years most are broke

It is a game of chance and that is what happens eventually

**gauchojake** · 07-30-16, 07:32 PM

Link?

**rockmvp1209** · 07-30-16, 07:35 PM

I saw it mentioned on a podcast with joe Ingram and a poker player

**Ratpack** · 07-30-16, 07:41 PM

man that story is weak LAST week everyone knows hes broke he dumped all his money in all those cash games

**CanuckG** · 07-30-16, 07:42 PM

Hes not receiving sponsored cash anymore - it makes sense.

**gauchojake** · 07-30-16, 07:44 PM

Seems legit

**jose21_us** · 07-30-16, 07:51 PM

I always say its not what you make its what you save...

**rockmvp1209** · 07-30-16, 08:21 PM

Idk how these guys go from playing with 200k in cash in front of them in a session to being broke

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 07-30-16, 08:34 PM

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.

Poker hard af

**jjgold** · 07-30-16, 08:49 PM

you only here about their winnings

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 07-30-16, 08:50 PM

i actually bought his book ace on the river back in the days. sad to hear he's broke. one of the good guys in poker.

**rockmvp1209** · 07-30-16, 09:23 PM

It's sad he's down to nothing after selling books

**Sledge187** · 07-31-16, 12:03 AM

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

**Ralphie Halves** · 07-31-16, 02:40 AM

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.

**turtlejc** · 07-31-16, 04:32 AM

It happens to everyone. Time to time, everyone goes bust. He'll be back in the game before you know it.

**GunShard** · 07-31-16, 05:25 AM

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.

Boo. What sort of comment is that?

**BuckyOne** · 07-31-16, 10:34 AM

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?

**pabonaparte** · 07-31-16, 10:52 AM

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?

**Sam Odom** · 07-31-16, 10:57 AM

played on same table with him once... Palomar in SD

nice guy

stakes were too high for bankroll so did not play long

**jjgold** · 07-31-16, 11:06 AM

only poker pros with a few buck are the ones with endorsement money not poker winnings

**jjgold** · 07-31-16, 11:21 AM

Buckles I don't live in Vegas but when I was there 25% are homeless

**kidcudi92** · 07-31-16, 11:21 AM

he hit me up on AIM for $5 FTP the other day

**mpaschal34** · 07-31-16, 11:24 AM

so what is the rake at those big cash games? just wondering if the only one getting rich in the long run is the casinos?

**kidcudi92** · 07-31-16, 11:25 AM

if you were a 2+2 poster in the golden age, you know this shit by heart

**Ian** · 07-31-16, 11:56 AM

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.

**jjgold** · 07-31-16, 12:00 PM

plus these losers blew a lot on stupid stuff

no money mngt in game of life
