Re: Not!
I am sure any of us couold go broke playing in big games to prove how good we are. It seems like Raymer, Moneymaker, and Varkonyi have done a good job of not blowing their prize money.
Raymer was playing in pretty big cash games and tournaments before winning the big one. There have been stories of Varkonyi playing 5/10 stud or 6/12 holdem and of Moneymaker playing 2/5 no limit holdem and $10 online rebuys. They probably know what games they can beat, and winning the WSOP doesn't change it much.
Someone like Stu Ungar with an egotistical undisiplined reckless approach would only play in the biggest games.
