Re: The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs onlin

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)

Yo, I should have commented on the Hellmuth insurance thing earlier.

Re: genius28 in 1k/2k

Nick is one of the best limit players out there.

HossTBF won't play him.... if the game gets down to the two of them, they will usually quit each other.

Re: What are the top pros worth?

i think that most pros think in terms of bankroll=net worth. i know that i lump it all together. there are a few very disciplined types that seperate the two, but that isn't the usual story. ...

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/21) (spoilers to come)

Antonio is a monster winner in live games. He's got a lot of nerve (obviously) and unbelievable game selection. I think he should have shut down after the PF reraise was called, but I agree that...
