Re: Billionaire Poker Players
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Bill Gates is known to play $3/$6 pr $4/$8 when in Vegas. [/ QUOTE ] I read that too somewhere. By my calculations in the 4/8 game: with a net worth of approximately $50 billion dollars, he has a bankroll of 6.25 billion BB. (Probably enough to cover himself for variance). [/ QUOTE ] Oh yes! How long would it take him to lose all of that assuming he never wins another hand ever?

Bill gates is so rich that he could literally spend the rest of his life burning $20 bills every 5 minutes or so, and he'd make so much more than that on investment interest from his net worth that he'd still make money.

He is certainly a poker player, and his most noteworthy achievement as a poker player is his bankroll of over one million dollars.
