Were players like Daniel Negreanua and Barry Greenstien at one time broke, and how many other "world class" players have gone broke at one point or another?

OP, you're going to get flamed for this and I can't say it's not deserved. Seriously, have you been living in a cave for the past five years? Do you know anything about poker?

The answer to your question is probably "almost all of them." Don't forget a large number of professional poker players are degenerate gamblers. Not all of them, but a lot. Of course they go broke from time to time.

Furthermore, who gives a flying [censored] if Brad Booth is broke today? Even if he is, within a month, he'll probably have more money than I'll ever see. I really don't think we have to worry about Negreanu, Booth, etc. ending up out on the streets.

around february of 2007 barry greenstein said on an interview in response to a rumor that hanson is broke, that gus is doing very well in the big game, that in fact, barry had borrowed from gus. now a lot can change in 8 months for sure. but, as of 8 months ago gus was flying high.

i guess the rumors about gus hansen being a shyt player are false then. He must be doing something right to do so well.

I doubt G Hansen is broke. I watched him 3 table at 100/200 PL Omaha on FT against J Juanda, a couple other pros and some miscellaneous players a few days ago (Tues?). He was up 80K at one table when it broke and was OK at the others. I'm assuming a 40K buy in but some were coming in for as little as 12K. Just some gossip to add I suppose.

this is all untrue except for brad booth, I saw him driving kinish's truck the other day he forgot the cardinal rule "always leave yourself outs"
