[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] No way. At 4000-8000 an adequate bankroll is more like $4 million. The biggest roll I've heard of is Phil Ivey's, and that was $8 million. [/ QUOTE ] There is no way Ivey's roll is "only" 8 million. More like 20-40 million. [/ QUOTE ] 5000BBs? Sounds like a lot to me. [/ QUOTE ] They don't just play limit.

Re: Billionaire Poker Players
How much are Paul Phillips and Richard Brodie worth? Their pre-poker earnings should put them high on any list.

Paul Phillips doesn't play poker anymore. He's a scrabble player/Rennaissance man now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
