I find it strange that they call them "Poker Pros".

If they were really "Poker Pros", would they really need to steal the money?

It kind of reminds me when I've played in freerolls, sometimes there would be people telling everyone how bad everyone was at poker and how great they were at poker...If they were so great, why were they playing in freerolls? I would ask...Their classic answer..."Because they didn't have any money right now to play in the cash tournaments." LOL Nothing like a poor poker pro telling everyone how good they are a poker. LOL

What's crazy is that they actually were pros - apparently during the 05 or 06 WSOP, they were actually ranked #19 and #35 or something on the tournament circuit. Insane world.
