What makes it a joke? I thought it was a decent article. Maybe basic, but decent.

oh... i mean, it's just really poor advice in general for anyone aspiring to play for a living. half the stuff in there doesn't even make a shred of sense, some of it is shameless promotion of some weird product (wtf is that trackyourbets website? guarantee nobody uses it) and the rest is just plain false.

Tournament professionals exist, too. However, they are rare compared to the number of cash game pros ... (Tournaments) tend to have stronger competition than cash games.


i mean... wat?

I agree with that particular quote. Tournament pros are rare (tournaments only). A pro playing a tournament does not mean that's how he makes his living ... 99% of pros make their living playing cash, not tournament.

They really are two completely different games.
