I think there is a non disclosure clause this year, I suspect it will find its way out though...

Re: aba on HSP....
 

In cardplayer he said he was happy with how things went. He is not allowed to discuss results until the show airs.

bs, at the tables I played at no one won more than 150K and no one lost more than 150K (150K is about 1.5 buy ins adjusting for the ante). I have a feeling that similar numbers occured at other tables. Also I only played ~300 hands in the 12 hours I was on.

No I was very happy. I really enjoy playing against good players once in a while. For those who don't knwo my first day table was ivey, benyamine, patrick antonous, D'agastino, negreanu, brad booth, esfandiari. There were some amazing hands played at that table and I can't wait to watch teh show and find out what everyone hand.

aba, can we have a trip report? obviously not disclosing anything pokerwise, but I'd love to know whats up and what you thought of everyone you played.

Just ask some questions and I will do my best to answer them I don't want to write anything formal up tho. As to what I thought of how everyone played, I agree 100% with john dagastino's comments in the fulltilt chat, but I would never publically write such harsh things.

Re: aba on HSP....
 

brian,

what was it like playing with these guys in front of cameras? did you get respect above the "hes an online player" sense? which guys that u met (if u hadnt already met them all) came off as cool ppl? did anyone give you hell?

I had played with alot of them during the series. Everyone there is a smart person and they understand that if someone has worked his way up limits to 300/600 with 100 ante that thy are going to be very good at the game. So I was getting tons of respect (I think I was reraised preflop once and there is a hand between daniel and me where he doesn't raise the turn with the third nuts against me fearing I have him overset). I was defentily jabbed about being an online player adn was called "internet wizard", along with other names. Everyone was really nice except for sammy who was just annoying (I had played with him during the world series and we didn't get along then). Barry greenstien, jennifer harmon, eli elezra, phil laak, antoinio esfandiari, john dagastino, mike matasow were the people I enjoyed being around most.

Re: aba on HSP....
 

what is NVG?

Re: aba on HSP....
 

Aba, I think a lot of us just believe you outclass many of the players there. It is generally accepted that the play in HSP2 (and one, to a lesser extent) was absolutely horrible for the most part. Maybe they were just screwing around the entire time, but it was just frustrating to see some of their plays hailed as 'the best in the world' when anyone with some experience in nl he knew that the play was moronic. I, for one, was hoping that you would crush the table. I guess my question is, did you feel like a better player than some of the others at the table? Were there any instances where it was obvious you were outplaying your opponents? Just too little hands to tell?

I don't mind if you pass on any questions for whatever reason, you've provided 2+2 with a lot of your time, feeding our curiosity. Thanks aba.

I would also be curious about this. In particular, I'm curious about Negreanu. Opinion on his playing ability seems to be split on these boards. As someone who played with him for 12 hours, what's the verdict?

Re: aba on HSP....

Re: aba on HSP....
