Conventional wisdom is that T.J.'s non-poker gambling has limited his monetary success.
T.J. often shows his good hands because he likes to give the image that he is always there. His philosophy is: if you never get called, you will end up with all of the chips.
T.J. has probably played in and won more major tournaments than any other person.

Amusing Anecdote
When T.J. and I first played together, we had discussed how I had played some No-Limit Hold'em in Houston in the '70s whereas he had played in Dallas. I moved in on someone with ace-king. The player called with a pair of queens and I won the race.
T.J. said, “I can see you learned to play in Houston. Those Houston players would come to Dallas and play that ace-king, but they'd always end up against a pair of aces. That's why we call that hand ‘Walking back to Houston.'”
