You are incorrect. I have 2 jokes now. Please scroll up to read the new one... I must admit though, i bought that last joke off my buddy for 100 play money chips on FTP.

Hey....

I would say that one reason is probably the fact that you put "top" in quotes. I believe there are many pros that we've never heard of and they make a fine living. However it's not the $10 mil per year high profile tournament living we might think of.

Having said that, there are probably some other pros such as Negreanu and Hellmuth who make smart business decisions - as someone else mentioned, they are low variance - such as sponsorhip deals. (Tiger Woods even knows there is less variance in this sort of income than in golf!)

A "top" pro, as you say, means.... what? You're calling them a "top" pro, which I assume means you know they might not be "top" after all, but are simply "famous" (for now, for some reason.)
