In the September 05 2+2 magazine there was an article by Ed Miller targetted at young poker players who had recently made huge amounts of money at high stakes limit HE. I had made 200k over that summer at 50/100 and 100/200 and was only 17, so it was very relevant to me.

One of the things he warned against in the article is having no protection against a disaster scenario, such as getting cancer. He mentioned how several friends who played had caught it and the problems it caused them. I remember remarking to friends about how ridiculous this was, as the chance of getting it as a teenager is extremely low.

I was diagnosed one month later.
