that's probably exactly what's going through these busted (and yet to be busted) whiz kids. I made x$/hour at my old game, now I make x+y$/hour, and I sure never want to go back to just making x. so I just gotta get through this rut/session, and then I'll be ok.

I don't think this is news, but it's just a problem of people not realizing how much variance there is in poker, how lucky they probably were to rocket to a huge bankroll, and failing to realizing that they're playing above their heads - or living a lifetsyle above their heads - before it's too late.

that, and tilt.

I have had temporary problems with both of the above, and thankfully have realized it before any real damage was done. I don't want to sound arrogant, but the step I made was the one that most people can't. BK made a similar post about this a little while back. I never played as high as him, but the same principles apply.

sorry I don't have any names for you. In particular, I would think you would hear a lot of names from the traveling tournament circuit.
