But no, you're not.
You were just lucky in the beginning.
Bad beat jackpot you were playing in.
One of the other things that I think is interesting about poker too is good is relative, right?
So you could be the seventh best player in the whole world, like literally seventh best player.
But if you're playing with the other six, you're the sucker.
You are the worst player in the game, right?
So there's a lot of players...
For example, like the Dan Blazarians of the world, right?
He's not a top level player like, you know, these guys you see on TV, but he probably makes more money than they do because he plays with people that are far below his skill level.
So part of the skill of being a poker player is finding situations where you're profitable, you know, regardless of your skill level.
Considering what I know about the private games and the types of players who play in these private games and the stakes that they play, I absolutely believe, you know, Dan has made, I don't know how many millions, but I, you know, whether it's 50, whatever, but it wouldn't surprise me.
That if you play in these games within a year or, you know, you find the right businessman who has way too much Bitcoin money, you know, and, you know, in one night you take him for 20 million.
I absolutely could see it.
I don't see any reason why.
Listen, where he got his money initially, you know, that's up to interpretation from his father or whatever.
But what, but has he made a bunch of money playing poker?
So, yeah, that's a good question because, you know, part of the reason I played poker and wanted to become professional was like I want to make my mother proud.
