“Most each professional who’s taking part in this type of excessive curler schedule is promoting motion and/or swapping, so if you happen to see a professional who performed all of them money for $7 million in a yr, seemingly shedding $3-5 million, they didn’t truly lose that a lot if something in any respect. In the event that they solely promote at markup, they will lose $3-5 million, however nonetheless present a revenue personally.” Negreanu wrote.
