Good example of why small samples are often misleading.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scatter_plot
Looking at a small chunk of a scatter plot and imagining that a "pattern" exists in that particular chunk that can be used to predict the location of the next (or next few) data points is not especially useful. Other (and perhaps stronger) terms might be appropriate, but I will stick with "not especially useful."

Dave, can you contact the Pro gambler that you interviewed back in 2012 and have another discussion to see how he's doing now?

That's a good idea.
I will contact him. (Of course, he might actually be reading this right now.)

That is an excellent interview Dave. 
I don't know how I ever missed it when you had it posted before.
It's well worth listening right through to it's entirety.

It was a good interview. That must be brutal pressure with four kids.
One thing that always seems to get left out of the story is how they get their initial bankroll. A guy like this would need a big roll to pull enough out every month in order to support a family of that size.

This interview is just a guy... who based upon sample size might be deluding himself into thinking he is really a winning player. While this will not be proven to the satisfaction of some for years to come, a few people might still like to hear what he has to say.
So, I guess you could wait until, what? 2015? ... to learn something from what he has to say. Would another 3 years be a large enough sample of him paying the bills month after month for you to get anything out of it?
Say... I just thought of something. How big is YOUR sample? Or MY sample? Why should ANYONE listen to either of us?
Maybe nobody should be listened to unless they are willing to post a 10,000-race sample of their bets.
In fact, maybe the Rules of Conduct should be amended to say that nobody should post until they can provide 10,000 races in the selection section, indicating that they are worthy of having an opinion about anything.
Yeah, this sounds like a good idea. Maybe we could form a committee of all the people who HAVE posted 10,000 profitable picks and they could monitor the picks section daily and do the score keeping.
Or maybe, we could just listen to what a guy like this has to say and learn or not based upon our belief (or lack thereof) in what he has to say.
For those who fall into the "interested" group, Jeff and I have been talking about an open call-in interview. I will let you know when (if?) that gets scheduled.
Regards,
Dave Schwartz

How about soliciting questions from PA Nation and take the very best ones to stick into the interview?

1. What is the maximum percentage of his bankroll that he would risk on one session?
2. What type of savings cushion, in terms of time, did he have when he decided to make poker his primary source of income?
