Sounds good (1.) being a college dropout and (2.) being a millionaire at the same time - I achieved the first thing in 2009, the second one takes more time than it should - it seems to me...

Posted by pinotte: If it is tue it is a very nice achievement for a school drop out. Is it another stars story in order to get a younger clients entering their site.
It is very strange that we never heard of him as a very good poker player since he is also playing live.
Sorry but i don't believe this nice story.
How about Joe Cada ? He won WSOP when he 22 years old. He is real, right ? and he won a lot on FT before . Anyone have different talent , so that is possible for me. He failed on school and succeed on other. Bad for me, no find my talent yet
No no no and no, to all young people who are still studying and reading this... never quit your studies to make poker your full time and even if you win very big money, don't quit at least complete it.

really? quit studies to become a professional poker player where if you win anything over a million in your career makes you one of the best poker players, for a chance say to become a successful porn actor and earn millions while banging gorgeous chicks, or politician- where you earn millions by banging everyone that moves and is capable of being taxed... no no- keep on studying dudes and dudettes and don't listen to this bs by stars.

I am truly sorry to break the news for you, but in 99% of today's porn the women get paid better than their male counterparts and they still get payed $hit compared to some other job which does not require this much physical toll on one's body. It's not that hard earning millions with an adult oriented business but actually u have to run the business itself rather then acting or just participating in it as a cuckold. Good luck superpochie, I hope u could get that 'ballshaving' .xxx. domain first to start building your empire on it.

What a wonderful story and one which gives us all hope for the future.... All we need is the ability to give up everything and play cards for a while before becoming a world champion. I'm not too bothered about the porn side of it, but the money would be nice.
