A Message To The Twenty Somethings Of Poker (Part 1)

Before you say anything I know what you're thinking ," Boy their late" I repeat it's not what your thinking.  Do take this time to immediately erase the notion of us reviewing this episode all over again. We pretty much land back here based on a couch discussion that took place between myself and another poker enthusiast.

Watching the WSOP Main Event we notice the 2-3 minute back story interview on Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi: 2010 WSOP November Nine player tax troubles.  Immediately the floor was open to discuss the pit-falls of being a poker millionaire under the age of 30.  Watching in astonishment question begin to fly not only about the interview but how guys so young are handling the tons of money their winning and apparently losing in Poker. On top of the interview, viewing Jonathan Duhamel win the WSOP 2010 Main Event speaks about partying it up at the after party it goes to without even speaking, what's the price tag on something like?  I am sure $7 Hennessey Coke with sprite were not sipped on that faithful night for 8.9 mil reasons. Lol!

With respect to the players and external circumstances money problems cannot all be blamed on poker but the question still remains, how are these young people handling the massive amounts of money streaming into their pockets?
