FYI: In the early 2000s, professional poker reached new heights in popularity. Between ESPN, the 1998 movie “Rounders,” and Chris Moneymaker’s out-of-nowhere win at the 2003 World Series of Poker, the lure of turning professional and earning millions brought many to Las Vegas. Poker, however, is a game where players can go long periods without a win or reaching a spot that earns cash. When a player does finally win, it can be thousands or even millions of dollars. Many players will agree that one must consistently enter games in order to be successful. The financial risk, can be a heavy burden, especially if someone is beginning a career.
