Re: What\'s the REAL reason(s) so many \"top\" players are busto?
Another reason: Easy access to loans + "moral hazard"
It seems that top live pros loan each other money all the time. Thus, good players can borrow to rebuild their bankroll.
Furthermore, there is what economists call a "moral hazard" effect -- if I know I can just borrow money from someone if I go bust, then I'm actually more likely to go bust because I'll play more recklessly.
A broke player then borrows and plays in "rebuild" mode til he's back in black.
