\"hardest game ever\"
 

So I believe this fits under the category of "Views," but if not, mods please move it to where appropriate.

A few weeks ago there was a thread called hardest game ever online right now. I think it was about 100/200 on stars. That got me thinking, what would be the absolute hardest game that could be possibly assembled?

Can anyone come up with a game that they would rather be in line for less (from a moneymaking perspective, as opposed to a fan perspective) than:

1 aba
2 Phil Ivey
3 cts
4 jman
5 durrrr
6 PA
7 ozzy87
8 mahatma (maybe not anymore?)
9 Urindanger (???)

edit note: substituted urindanger for h@llingol

Def not hallingol. Rest looks pretty solid, although most of those you listed are HU/SH specialists.

I like it, who do you put on a 6-handed table?

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

This is more of a list of people not to sit heads up against.

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

Why does every thread like this, always have Mahatma on the list, and not GREEN PLASTIC? I know Prahlad has a hyper-aggressive style, but didn't GP destroy him when they played? Also, add Lodden FTW

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

you left me off the list

ninja turtles for NES or super ghouls and ghosts for snes

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

I think having CTS sitting directly to your left, with Durrr and Jman sitting to your right calling your 3-bets and floating flops on the button would be the most evil scenario I could imagine. Then maybe have Aba just hanging around on the opposite side playing "good solid poker".

I think my winrate would be about -50BB/100.

Edit: Krantz could sit in the final seat of this putative 6-max game next to Aba, and distract me with amusing chat comments. Oh and I forgot Stinger. He'd be in there somewhere bluff-raising my continuation bets in 3-bet pots.

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

Add potripper to the list.

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

It seems like these guys are considered the top NL players online over the past year, in no particular order:

Patrik Antonius
sbrugby
durrr
CTS
Phil Galfond
SamH
Ozzy
MJorgensen
Taylor Caby
Prahlad
Genius28
Urindanger
Johnny Lodden
Stinger
Krantz
Boosted J
FoxwoodsFiend

Would be curious as to whether the HSNLers think anyone doesn't belong on here, or if I missed any obvious names.

Phil Ivey?

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

I still remember BLdSWtTRs whenever anyone make one of these posts tho i guess less and less people are starting to . As long as he felt comfortable at the stakes they played then imo there shud always be a seat reserved.

I think I sat with this POTRIPPER on AP, he's not that great imo - he plays way too many hands oop.

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

used to be notthistime . dont think he hs been spoted anywhere for nearly a year now afaik. shows up on here sometimes so he is still around the scene somewhat prob and will perhaps return if/when Barry pulls off getting some bills changed.

He still has to be playing online, that is for certain.

this would be my hardest game ever:

1.) Brad Booth
2.) Tomer Benvenisti
3.) Brian Watkins
4.) Steve Dannenman
5.) Ellix Powers
6.) Eric Molina (without makeup)
7.) Jerry Yang
8.) Bobbie Jacobson
9.) Dave Davidson

Re: \"hardest game ever\"
 

You guys are being stupid about this, most of these players have a hyper aggressive strategy that does not work for full ring.

6 max plays entirely different than 10 handed, and most of these guys are acclimated to shorthanded play where an aggressive style is optimal.

You play hyper-LAG in full ring and you will get destroyed.

that is exactly my point.

Tomer Benvenisti and Brad Booth excel in full ring games.

right behind them are Brian Watkins and Dave Davidson who are also well-acclimated to full ring games.
