Given the stories of how this guy throws money away, this wouldn't surprise me at all.

[/ QUOTE ]let's hear some stories

[/ QUOTE ]

I mean mostly the stories that get posted on here about him. Stuff like going all in blind donking around in mid stakes games, being a huge tipper, living at the Bell for 25k/month and seemingly always picking up the bill when groups go out. He seems to have very poor money management.

stop shooting david down. while vague, his post contributes more than most nvg posts. u have to understand. david is privy to tier 1 gossip that is often private. if he spills the beans he risks being cut off and may lose friends.

if anything, davids opinion here will prevent nutriders from jumping in to defend a tv pro when they are berated for making a bad play.

while the info that many of these hs guys are bust and aren't better than the specialists, this info is not obvious to the smaller stakes players here, and davids opinion carries enough weight that the less informed may start to accept that some of these guys aren't the almighty talents they believe them to be.

q, if so many pros are going bust, who's getting the money? pits? doyle? i-pros? all of the above?

Whilst everything you've said TStone is very valid, I'm of the opinion that you either share all (100%) or nothing at all (0%). It annoys the hell out of me when I hear a bit of gossip but don't hear the real gossip, within the gossip.

If that were to happen, there would be almost nothing of interest in NVG

There's 2 I'm curious about for some reason, Todd Brunson and Phil Ivey.

After hearing Todd talk about how he's just like his mother as far as money goes leads me to believe he's saving a lot of his cash.

With Ivey I always thought he had the eleventy Brazillion $ roll. Then about a year or so ago there was a big thread talking about how Ivey had lost a large amount of cash in the pits.

If Ivey is still driving around a 400k Mercedes then I would find it hard to believe he's lost a lot. That is unless losing a lot means he's only got 15mil sitting around.

he isn't busto, I've seen it on TV. I won't name the show, but I know for a fact that Brad Booth bought in for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

[Daddy Warbucks]

Ivey leases his SLR, but i don't think that pit thread was about how he was close to busto. He still seems to be a big winner both live and online, even if he is apparently "burnt out".

EDIT: Oh yeah, Booth was also getting staked in some of the bigger games he played in.

Hasn't LV real estate tanked over the last 2 years?

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah but tanking if you are worth 8 figures still can't be too bad...

[/ QUOTE ]

it's not that hard to go from 8 figures to busto if you're highly leveraged like a lot of real estate investors are
