1. Billy Baxter in a distant 3rd in the Seniors with 7 remaining. He's 83. Dude's brain still works...and just when I've been talking about the OGs leaving us.

2. WSOP stats are still stupid. They now have a profitability state...but all it shows is your DOLLARS cashed per cash.....that doesn't show your profitability at all. I hate it when they can't math.

3. Chino Rheem is in 26th in the PLO $25K high roller. I always hear that guy owes everyone money, but somehow he always keeps showing up with the buy-ins to big events.

How about Michael Mizrachi not playing the PPC? Dude has won it three
times, but he's grinding 2-5 NLHE cash games. Even if he's broke, I'd bet someone would stake him in some events.

I'll say one thing...a veteran poker player on the ropes being forced to grind like that won't be any fun to play with. I try to avoid NL games anyways. Limit games full of blue hairs and degens seems to work just fine.

$17M in cashes.....and busto. That about explains the typical tourney pro from my point of view. All these "pros" playing tournies and somehow expecting to beat the rake, toke, taxes, and travelling expenses....PLUS maintain a wife and kids. Some
other notables with financial problems are missing, too, like Erick LIndgren. How do you have $10.6M in cashes but get in over $10M in debt?
