Re: Whats Moneymakers situation?
If he was answering all your quetions politely, why didn't you just ask him?
I have a hard time believeing Chris couldn't play the tour full time if he wanted to, and I assume that he prefers to chill out with his family and watch that easy endorsmeent money roll in. Maybe he's less of a gambling addict than most tournament winners.

Re: Whats Moneymakers situation?
[ QUOTE ]
Oddly enough, almost all the ME winners recently have been smart money managers who don't waste their winnings gambling - Varkonyi, Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem, all keep the cash in the vault. Not like the WPT winners... [/ QUOTE ]For real? Varkonyi still buys in directly to the main events and who knows what other pure gambles he takes (I doubt he's +EV in those). Moneymaker seems like the smartest by not playing much high stakes. I know Hachem has played a fair amount of 25/50 and 50/100 NL (at least) after his win and a year later even. From what I can tell he was a pretty big donator too. I'm not totally sure how much he played, but he did do random gambling with it.

Re: Whats Moneymakers situation?
Hachem had a few tournament scores since the main event, and he's freerolled into all the events I'm sure. Varkonyi has some kind of deal with Interpoker, and he definitely doesn't play a full schedule.
I agree that the ME winners from 2002-2005 are about the least likely to go broke of any poker players out there.

Re: Whats Moneymakers situation?
[ QUOTE ]
Moneymaker was never a CPA, he was just an accountant. There is a huge difference because a CPA can make good money, while a regular accountant that hasn't been working in the field for a few years cannot. Moneymaker was just a staff accountant at the time of his win. I don't know where the idea that he was ever a CPA has come from. You aren't the first person to repeat the statement that he was a CPA at the time of his win. A search of the TN registry for CPAs shows that he was never licensed as a CPA in that state. The only reason that I ever checked was to settle a bet with a friend who had stated that Moneymaker was a CPA at the time of his win. [/ QUOTE ] OMG!!! Someone said that MoneyMaker was a CPA and he is actually not a CPA??? Jesus. That changes my whole perception of the guy. What is a "CPA" anyways? Is that like in the accounting world where one goes from being a douchebag to a glorified douchebag?

I think he's smart for playing out his PS hours at lower limits b/c he knows that he can't beat the bigger games. He luckboxed through the ME, he should just take what is being given to him.
