Default Re: Never Trust Anyone

I don't think it's clinically insane to think that all she has to do is just win one tourney to be rich.


This is just common fish thinking.


Like the idiot who was chatting away with me in line for a satellite who was determined to win his $10k main-entry.
But if he lost a couple of satellites then no problem because he can just go play some 10/20 limit for a couple hours and make another $1k. Then use that to buy into more satellites.


Also reminded of the guy on the old A&E show 'Poker Kings' who was pretty much down to his last buy-in for a big tournament and had to cash or else he's be busto.


Lots of people like that in the poker-world who just have zero clue and continue to harbor ideas of, "All I have to do is have just one tourney where I finally catch some cards."


It's thinking like Brandi's which is frighteningly typical that also helps to make the games as profitable as they are.
