I occasionally find myself wondering about why low level pro players who show up to compete at so many big tourneys, do what they do. More specifically, why do they dedicate themselves to pool to the exclusion of pursuing other more fruitful career possibilities?
Week after week they play in fields with world beaters against whom it would take about a miracle for them to win. These guys rarely if ever do win and so I'm not sure what the motivation is for them to continue - or maybe I do have an idea but would like to get some az feedback on why you guys think they do it.
To be clear, I'm not referring to the low pros who also have other actual careers running along side their pool pursuits, but rather, it's the guys who've been out there competing for years with no real chance of winning and no meaningful other careers.
What do you all think their motivations are and do you think they are making a good or bad decision doing this?
best,
