You just have to be better than the group you normally play money games or chouette with. By no means do you have to be 'world-class' to make money playing BG. In 5 years of money games, I'm up over $8000 ($5 or $10 games) and I'm nowhere near that list of top world players. If you want to make money playing in tournaments, however, your statement is pretty much correct. The tournament rake really isn't the problem, it's the travel expenses. However, I've had a good year this year and am up about $4000 in tournament play after all entry fees and expenses. -- Gregg C.
