Most tournaments are promoted by poker games won't know why but that is how it has been for some time now, especially on this forum, I have seen casinos bringing poker tournaments that are hosted by members of this forum and management by a manager who has recognized this forum.
Have you just created this thread for your own benefits as to post your daily counts? because in your OP the topic stands as question but this post of yours seems to be you understand what you are asking for?
this sounds for me that there is no need for the thread to run as you already knew what is that?
I agree with luckmcfly as it is true that poker players are mostly big money holders who necer quit even though they lose so much in the process of playing but then most of them always run bankrupt due to excessive playing and always trying to recover from previous losses.
poker is a game to gamble , so like every games? there are different type of players in each games.
