where did all the morons and their favorite online pros finish if it was such a easy field? If it is not about where they finished then do not say helmuth went through a donkey field. Your online guys had the same opportunity so sorry if they could not take advantage.

Nobody ever said Hellmuth wasn't a good player. I just said that the field in the 1500 wasn't a hard field. It was still massive, and still give Phil tons of credit for making it deep.

But trying to argue that the 1500 field wasn't easy is pretty ridiculous. It was donktastic, why do you think all the pros are playing in the events? lol

they are playing for bracelets, ivey a pro who never plays wpt pre lim events is playing these pre lim for bracelets, not because it is easy

[/ QUOTE ]

Sigh. Sorry, no.

Most people couldn't give a crap about bracelets. They want money. WSOP events present the best chance to make money.

most people are you guys that have no money, you think people like helmuth, brunson, ivey are playing to win money? they rather be in the cash games if they wanted money

[/ QUOTE ]

Hellmuth wouldn't. He sucks at cash games. This has been pretty obvious since he got laughed at on HSP, and every other cash game poker show he's appeared on(and lost tons of money on).

Ivey and Doyle play cash games at night. I guess you've missed the interviews with Ivey, literally hundreds of times over the years where he states that he only plays tournaments when the big cash games are not running.

The big cash games don't run at noon. They run at night. So Ivey enters the tournaments. He's stated multiple times that he'll donk off a stack in a tournament to go play cash games.
