I understand that, to an extent. Sure, Larry is great, but he's not any of the top pros, who DO make a profit from these events. I was just blasting your point about how great Jesse is and how he doesn't attend major events because of "equity."
Hotel at the venue - $50/night (6 nights = $300)
Food = For 6 days? $30/day = $180
Flight back to ... Florida (for Corey Deuel) = $150-200
He made almost $4,000 from just 10-ball. That's ~$4,000 - 300 - 180 - 200 = $3,320 ... I don't think he's complaining about that. That's still ~28-30 buyins. This is a standard
I guess it really depends on if you live close to venues and how far away you are from international airports that can fly you places for cheap. (ie. Southwest for $59).
If Jesse was that amazing, he'd be out there doing those things. I'm just pointing that clearly SVB is the favorite here. In any game on any table against him.
These numbers are all wrong sir. The flights for larry were $659.00 round trip. If cory found a great deal it wasn't $150 or $200.00. I spend months at a time in Vegas and there is no way you can eat for $30.00 a day and He got $2600.00 for second place. Other than that you are right......Except for all of it..
