Daniel Negreanu's Latest Cardplayer Article

[Eponymous]

Maybe I took DN's intro to his article too literally, but I thought it did an excellent job of explaining why pros play in the big game when they can easily make a comfortable living at lower levels. He used the Larry and Johnny examples to illustrate his point well. I would like to see more of these kinds of articles from him.

The reading-between-the-lines insight I got from Daniel is that a lot of Johnny's take shots at the big game, most of which dump some bankroll and leave. This allows the regulars in the big game continue to play in it profitably.

Daniel: Is the above correct? I think when most people ask you the question about playing in the big game, they are wondering how the top players can make money if they all stay in the big game. It must that those taking shots at the big game sustain it, correct? Maybe an obvious conclusion, but unstated in your article.
