In partial defense of Slansky, I don't see him going broke any time soon, or ever actually (unless he falls prey to the SDRR lifestyle).

The big mistake I think some of these young internet poker stars are making is they view poker as a sport, as opposed to an unbounded game with a significant component of chaos.

They seem to seek out competition against certain players because they wish to prove themselves better, or because they perceive that that is how they will become better.

Seems I've read a few anecdotes on these forums of certain players going busto in their obsession to beat certain other players in a quest to prove who's the best.
