He has cashed for about another quarter million in big tournaments since then. Nobody (that you know) can say for sure how he does in online tournies or cash games at casinos (if he participates)... Have you won a quarter million in poker since '03 Stu? Then best to find a better example then poor Moneymaker.I do agree with you that over a single tournament luck plays a part in things, but I also think it is foolish for a player with a limited bankroll to risk a LARGE percentage of it on a single tournament too. Part of being a "Pro" poker player is properly managing a bankroll,a lesson that doesn't get mentioned enough.
