"I'd tell a new player to just play your bankroll," he says. "That's generally 40 times the big blind." So at the $3/$6 table, that would mean having around $240 to play.

"When Chris Moneymaker won the televised 2003 World Series of Poker after first wagering $39 in an online tournament, wannabe pro gamblers across the country turned to their own computers in hopes of repeating history. Greg "Fossilman" Raymer did just that in the 2004 championship game."
Am I reading this wrong, or does the first sentence contradict itself as to the year Raymer won?

"With poker in particular, Whyte says, people think their skill is going to trump the random outcome of the game, and that is a very dangerous thing."
