Re: Billionaire Poker Players
Lots of live "pros" brag to being under bankrolled and say they can just get the money from somewhere else if they need it. Mike Matusow refinances his house (worth 300-350K as a "reserve") Daniel Negraneau has one time said he played 40-80 limit on a $3,200 bankroll (yeah, nuts imo) Others such as Barry Greinstein have been in debt as much as a million dollars less than 5 years ago.
In my opinion, the truely high stakes players have a lot of gamble in them and have very poor bankroll management. Although there is an arguement for if they do ever go broke, they'll have no problem finding stakers so it's really impossible for them to go broke. For instance if my poker coach ever went broke, I would send him $20K as soon as he wanted it.
And yes, I bet there are billionaire poker players, fish and sharks alike.
