The problem with there internet kids, that all they care is money, they talking all day about money - "money,money, money" , "i have to make some more money", "i'm playing just for money", they don't care about competition, challenge and pride.

For most of all i have respect to Patrik Antonius, Phil ivey, Gus Hansen (Sammy Farha, Chip Reese, and some other, live players), because they are whilling to play anyone, anywhere, anytime, any stakes, cause they like the competition, the challenge, and for them it's about pride.

Spoken like someone who doesn't play for a living.

What's so bad about playing to make money? Why should "pride" have anything to do with anything? Even if it IS about ego, isn't money the score of the game, and therefore the one making the most money is still winning?

To say "it's all about money" as a BAD thing makes no sense to me.

the difference is those guys he mentioned have more money than these top online players and can afford these risks. They are more of the all around gambling type, but they are extremely competitive and care about winning. BTW do these top online NLH specialists have to move down to get action or are they just not on full tilt anymore? They might play less hands then those live players now if that's not the case.
