When the big 1k/2k NLHE/PLO game was running at the WSOP this summer, wasn't it often full ring or close to?

And didn't Barry Greenstein say that Aba was doing the BEST out of everyone there? (And Antonius WAS in that game for some of it. Ditto with Kenny Tran, Bobby Baldwin, etc.). And wasn't it fairly deepstacked?

And Aba IS considered primarily an Internet player. So despite Greenstein's acknowledgement that Aba was performing the best there, and Antonius' knowledge of Aba's ability - Antonius is basically saying Aba even then isn't one of the top 20 NLHE live deep stacked full ring players?

Seriously?

I think Taylor Caby is right. Seriously it sounds like Antonius is just being clever about this. No way Aba performs as well as he did, even with Greenstein's comments, and not be even considered by Antonius as one of the top 20. That is really ridiculous.

this post is a little contradictory...you acknowledge that patrik was being clever about this by lying to protect fish...then you give no thought to the possibility that he is doing this when talking about aba

Sry if I was being unclear. What I meant was that I find it very unlikely that Antonius would not consider Aba one of the top 20 NLHE players in any scenario (whether it be live full ring or not), and so it seems even more likely then that TC must be right.
