It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

I know that the big games at the Bellagio and Venetian, while not actually closed to others, often start with a full table of invitees. But during the tournament that isn't true. Or if it is, there will be a second game. So it will be a simple matter for internet players to try to make Kenny Tran eat his words. If you do play, please introduce yourself to me.

Include dates you think the game will run, not just next week please. I'm sure some people would love to book a ticket but it may be difficult scheduling with the holidays.

Would love to see something happen out of this.

you're wrong DUCY?

Re: It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

David,

why are you organizing / promoting a Kenny Tran vs. Internet Players NLH cash game? There has to be more to this, what's your sketchy-ass getting out of all this?

david probably thinks kenny is annoying but doesn't want to say it to his face/tell him he's wrong so he's leaving that task up to the internet poker players of 2+2

david probably thinks everyone is annoying so by doing this he gets to see one or more people's ego get owned

Because of the term "game selection" I would feel somewhat insulted if David choses to sit down at my table. I wonder with whom he was playing there. Any prominent names?

Anyone know when good2cu is arriving in Vegas?

I'll be there beating up those live pros.

Edit: And I'm not even close to Top 50 online.

qp,

"would be cool to see some 2p2ers man up but i doubt it happens"

A bunch of 2p2/online players stepped up to play 500/1k+ NL/PLO when that game went at the Bellagio during the WSOP. There's no shortage of online players willing to play big vs. live pros.

the main barrier most online players face is not the lack of invitation or their scared nature. it's that traveling cross-country to sit around all day playing live poker at a mind-bogglingly slow pace while listening to annoying table talk all day is just pure pain.

FWIW im pretty sure the reasons FWF listed for potentially not playing are the same reasons iPods and alcohol were invented

Nothing like 600 hands to show who is the better player.

Unless DS has set up this INTERNET vs. LIVE pros challenge over a time period longer than a ONE day 20hr marathon...they are not even going to see close to 600 hands,which wont prove anything anyway over this small a sample

Re: It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

It will all we worth it though if they keep stacking kenny tran

Re: It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

no one expects the high stakes guys to go to vegas, play a 12 hour session, either win\lose and all of a sudden live\online proved the other inferior. The sample size [censored] is ridiculous. They know a few hundred hands doesn't mean anything. What I think David is trying to do, is get a highstakes nl game going for like the duration of the 5 diamond classic, which would be awesome btw.

Re: It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

They should just play a few hands of Duplicate Poker, because that takes all the luck out (and is legal in the US!!)

Re: It Should Be Simple To Get Into The Big NLH Games Next Week
 

make sure that whoever goes and wins a nice pot off of kenny tran says "imma geeniuss man im justa geenius"

so sick if sklansky actually did this. he'd be like my new barry greenstein.

It wasn't even that. The games are going to be there regardless. I started this thread, rather than bury it deep in the Kenny Tran thread, because a lot of the big internet players were saying that they get shut out of opportunities to compete in those big games Kenny was talking about. So for those who haven't been around during Bellagio tournaments, I just wanted to let them know that they won't get shut out in the next few weeks.

If the internet/non internet/Tran thing escalates into some sort of confrontation, all the better. But my main reason for posting was simply to alert the high stakes players that they will be able to get into the game. Possibly as high as 200-400 with a 100 ante.

As for me, I will only play as high as 50-100 with an ante or 100-200 without one. And only if there are at least a couple of players in the game who play a bit looser than me. Otherwise I'll be in the 300-600 mixed games.
