You've lived a very sheltered life, Frank, if you've never met a bustout.
Bustouts are a dime a dozen in gambling. That's why the joke is so funny in
my circle of friends. So you've never met the likes of Cincinnati Jack, or
Short Stack Jack, or Jesus Ray, or Downtown Ray, or Nick The Sick? Or
anyone else like them? They're a dime a dozen. It must be nice up there in
that white collar world, Frank. >>
There are wise pros who protect their bankroll by not playing above it.
These pros can stick around indefinitely or as long as they want to.
There are unwise pros who play above their bankroll. They have shorter
careers.
I've know both kinds. Both can be just as knowledgeable about the game(s)
they play. But some people just don't have the self-discipline it takes for
bankroll management, one of the most important basics for successful
LONG-TERM gambling.
