The simple version is: Those who are willing to risk the most are also the most likely to win the most, and conversely lose the most. ala the "Gus Hansen Effect"
You and I are much less likely to ever play in the highest stakes games in town because we are less willing to risk our entire financial future on a couple sessions of poker.
Having said that, I think I am going to gamble up this world series and just go on a monster parlay run, starting with 100-200 limit holdem, win a few session, and play higher, see if I can't win 300-400k in a month or so
(we'll see if I have the balls to follow through)
