Tournaments and cash. Just running really really bad. No advice needed apart from dust up the CV.
Do people who dabble in extended periods of poker put this on their CV? |

"nearly every regular tournament player is a loser overall... even some that have won major events, strange how things become distorted"
I don't understand this point at all. Surely the point of tournies is that even if you are a very strong player you won't cash 75% of the time, but if you make big scores when you do cash and that covers the buy ins any return above this makes you a winning player?

he's talking about live tournies, so you have to cover hotels, petrol and eating out etc as well. so your £1000 +£50 in reality is something like £1000 +£200 if not more |

Isn't that why a lot of the players rely on sponsorship to pay them into the big tournaments regularly?

I think that is the point Dan. To really be a winning Live tournament player you need some serious sponsorship. Anyone know if there are many players who follow the tours to merely play the cash games? Geo |

Geo yeah I know a few people who are often at festivals but only play the cash games I was wondering how productive this is. I know of one guy who does this and will also stake other players to play the cash games in Edinburgh when the larger tourneys come along and by all accounts does pretty well out of it. Geo |
