With the amount of time you spend at Foxwoods, my guess is you know some pro poker players you don't even know are pros. Tournament players are more likely to be broke or rich than are cash game players. And most are broke. Sure, you win a million bucks in a big tourney, but next year you enter 40 tourneys where the buyin is $2500 to $50,000 and you'd better cash in a few of them, or else you are broke. And you can enter that many tournaments just at the World Series. That is why we see all of the WSOP champions, multi million dollar winners since this century, all signing up for endorsement deals. And those deals are not as juicy as they were before the GOP made most poker sites illegal.
