Great anonymous interview about being a broke player

[Gildwulf]

This isn't much of a surprise given the variance in tournaments and the fact that live pros just don't really get variance...I mean, people going pro after playing 6 tournaments and cashing in 3 or whatever Brandi's track record is. I'm sure she's not the only person who has played a dozen tourneys and gone pro. If you had an online player play 100 $20 tournaments and say he wanted to go pro he'd get laughed off of 2p2.

Even with a big win you could easily blow through a million dollars playing the $10k events without a big win considering travel expenses, degeneracy and big leaks (poor cash game play, sports betting, women, drugs).
