Team leaders or backers who think players are disposable and burn them out in 6 months are not profitable or what I consider successful. That reputation will result in a team that will eventually not have anyone willing to join. Again everything you post about team play is just what you have read on the internet, or seen in a movie. I doubt anyone has ever recruited you to do anything in a casino. You literally spend a 1000 hours a year posting online. That’s Not a trait a good team leader is looking for I can assure you.

You win more money working with others. If the goal is to win the most money possible then team play would most certainly be the avenue one should pursue. Finding a successful group of guys willing to bring you in well that’s really hard.
