Quote:

A glistening swimming pool, fed by waterfalls and flanked by fat palm trees, lies 20 steps from Matthew Stout and Joey Cappuccio’s new apartment in San Jose, Costa Rica. Temperatures in the high 80s would make the private pool seem an obvious refuge for the longtime friends from New Jersey, but neither has been swimming once since moving in three weeks ago. During early September they’ve barely left their apartment at all, except for grocery store runs. They’ve been too busy playing online poker.

>>According to the online poker community and information site PocketFives, players who rely on poker for a salary number in the tens of thousands.>>

Doubtful. Always get independent corroboration, you can't
rely on the people involved to come up with reliable numbers.
I would guess its closer to 2000 than 10,000. And that might
be high.
