Wow. You sir, are why the term LOL DONKAMENTS was created. Do you have any idea how infinitely more interesting a cash game is then a tournament, at least strategically? You do realize that tournaments are played with imaginary money, right?

You are assuming that the high-stakes "cash" games on High Stakes Poker were actually played with each player's OWN money.

I am aware of at least two instances in which players were allegedly "staked" into High Stakes Poker, with those two players playing with OPM (other people's money).

In one of the two cases, the player (P. H.) actually wrote on his blog that he was being staked.

In the other cash, this particular player, allegedly playing with OPM he was allegedly being staked, was able to execute a stone bluff with nothing more than a gutshot straight draw against another player who was holding a big overpair, forcing the player with the big overpair to lay down the best hand.

High Stakes Poker may have a cash game format, but it is still ultimately a TV show. The cash games on High Stakes Poker are not the same as the cash games played at Bobby's Room at the Bellagio each weekend.
