Default Re: There are no Heroes in Poker: Another Reason the Boom is Over

Babe Ruth drank beer, ate hot dogs, slept with groupies and had a knack for hitting home runs... what's so heroic about that???

Brunson dodged the hazards of being a road gambler for many years... got robbed & arrested chasing his passion & is every bit as pioneering in his trade (probably more so) than Babe Ruth... so who is more heroic???

Also,(with props to Ontario Troy) Greenstein has given millions in tournament winnings to children's charities...

This is a stupid premise for a thread!
