Phil Ivey is never going broke. He owns a piece of Full Tilt. He has won so much money playing poker that it would offset his other gambling if that ever went bad. He is invested in multiple companies and other ventures. The dude is worth 150 million+. He will be OK for a long long time.
Proud to be one of the 69,000,000+ Americans who voted for Barack Hussein Obama. Scoreboard, mutha fuckas.

I guess you speak from experience. I've been a winner my whole life. I guess some people have no self control. I'm interested in how you know that all of these people are broke. Please share details.

Cheap shot nioted !
yes i have had several major ups and downs . I wasnt referring to myself .
gambling and poker has been littered with people who strive for destruction .
Alan Elrod owned the rights to the original "Gone in 60 Seconds " movie he came to the satrdust and began his "poker career" . His wife would bring food for the dealers and he was the nicest guy in the world . 6 months later he was a major league sleezbag . He sought out destruction and it ruined him .
Guacamole would win a tournament .. pay off what he owed , get 2 hookers and a motel room and come out weeks later ..BROKE.
Johhny Chan was a bum for most of the years surrounding his WSOP win , both before and after . .. at one time he was a "host "' at the Stardust . he didnt last 6 weeks , as he was such an asshole .
gambling and the psychology around it is littered with these kinds of people .
And by the way .. what have you won ?
What do you play ?
how much do you win ?
how long have you been winning ?
it is much easier to take those kinds of cheap shots than it is to actually be there and do it .
I know .. I have done both !!

"Broke" must be a relative thing. I saw Sexton, his wife, kids and extended family at our local, Original Pancake House, a few weeks ago.

It is theoretically possible to advantage play slots, but the details make it such that to do it practically is extremely difficult and making a living off of it is likely impossible.

Really? I've never heard of that ... do you know any of the details? Was he progressive-mining slots or was he taking advantage of over-zealous casino promotions?

I'm presuming you mean finding a loose machine. I remember in the old, mechanical, days you'd find one that paid off well. But today's machines are all wired to some central computer and I would think they could just dial in a percentage payout.
Or are you referring to playing the random generator? Not interested in playing an angle, just wondering what angle you mean.
