Check this link out. This guy is in the top 60 online MTT pros, $160,000.00 won in the last 3 months and he's down money.

There's lots of trust fund kids out there that are spending 40K a month to win 35K.

Guess this guy don't have a trust fund.

Very few will admit their win/loss statement.

It's those real common names we see over and over then......poof.......they're gone from poker.

ROFL....not my world pal. I don't have to win a single dime at poker. And I don't have a trust fund either. But I have a good job. So does my wife. We both have nice 401Ks. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If you don't mind me asking, where exactly are you in these rankings?

I would have thought anyone in the top 100 P5 rankings would actually be a winning player.

mkind is currently ranked 56.

Again, in 90 days, $160,000.00 won and he's down money.

To me that's kinda scary. But hey that's me.

Before opening this thread I thought it'd be about kwob20.

pretty depressing but standard. Hopefully he isn't rolling himself in those live tournaments.

Will Ma and I were discussing this recently.

People who run bad in MTTs quit MTTs, people who run good stick with them. As this continues, it gets to the point that almost everyone who plays MTTs is at like the top of the bell curve of results relative to their skill level, so people tend to think that variance is lower since most regular tournament players are just the one who run the best.

I may have worded it poorly, but basically, everyone who hasn't quit these stupid things yet runs good.
