After keeping up this pace for even as little as a few years, he's going to be unbelievably wealthy. Factor the supplemental income from the inevitable endorsements, what's to stop him from retiring at 25? 23?

I agree - there is a good chance Madsen will retire. I have known many gamblers who won lots of money, and then they quit gambling forever. People are generally smart enough to protect their wealth by putting the money into treasury bonds, then retiring to a place like San Diego - never to be seen in a card room again.
El Diablo, do you agree that this will almost cerainly happen?

I changed my mind overnight on this subject (please see my later post), but I will say that grouping Madsen with every other gambler is a lot like grouping him with every other tournament player.
