There's many articles explaining how so many....too many of these self-proclaimed "pros" end up broke. And isn't it always someone no one's ever heard of winning the WSOP....proving it's primarily a game of luck? All this "reading player's mannerisms" (doesn't EVERY "aspiring pro" claim to be able to do this better than the next guy) and supposedly hi-level players being able to "compile mathematical edges" when they actually see less than 15% of any deck on any given game, is all poker bullshit.
If the cards don't fall---the player falls. And if the guess is wrong, they aint king kong. That's all it is, and it's as simple as that.
the link is his Wiki page -
quote - "as of 2023 his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,018,000"
and referring to the year 2005 - quote - "Witteles set a World Series Poker record, no other player in history has finished better in the first 2 events - he was also named Card Player's Magazine 2005 World Series Poker Player of the Year"
he most definitely is a long term winner - to believe otherwise you would have to believe he lost all of that back in various cash games - very, very unlikely
he is a person who has definitely proven himself to have a degree of greatness about him

Wiki? Really??
The rest of that "Todd resume'" is equally irrelevant. These poker pros who claim millions of dollars won, tournaments and bracelets won, blah blah blah--and then went into the toilet--are a dime a dozen. Why? BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE HOPELESS ADDICTS AND ACTION JUNKIES AND ALSO LOSE ONLINE, LIKE IDIOTS.
Fools here claim "Todd's a winning player because he knows what he's talking about!"
Common sense tells a different story. You think he doesn't get married because the gal really doesn't love him? You think he runs several gaming related websites because he's some kind of entrepreneur? You think he doesn't make a big deal of CLAIMING he doesn't have help coming up with a measly $10k because he's humble?
Everybody lies....and the most desperate among them need to.
You people really do need an idol.
