Most respected live NL grinder?
We talk a lot about comparing the top online NL players, probably because we have direct access to watch them play and view their overall results, but it seems that there are some top NL players who don't play online much that never get mentioned.
There are 3 specific players I'm thinking of who put a lot of hours in playing live NL games. I don't know if there are others deserving of a mention I am missing. Kenny Tran Gabriel Thaler Daniel Alaei Are these 3 guys all considered in a similar league, or is one guy given even higher respect than the others? Do Thaler and Tran play online at all? Who do people feel would have an edge in a live NL game if these guys played with the top online NL players (sbrugby, durrr, etc)?

Re: Most respected live NL grinder?
Kenny has no leaks what so ever, he is a very solid player and is probably the the best player of the three. Kenny and Gabe have very similar games, neither play a lot of hands and almost always have it. The main difference between Gabe and Kenny is Kenny always seems to find himself in a position where he is facing a big bet on the river and he has Ace high. More often than not he calls and its good.
Daniel A seems to be focusing on tournaments more, he hasn't been a consistent participant in the live NL games in about a year. There are a bunch of good live NL players that filter in and out of these games, its hard to compare live vs online, because the games are extremely different. For one Live plays much more deep, and online is mainly 6 max.

Kenny Tran has way too many leaks compared to Alaei and Thaler [/ QUOTE ] What makes you say that? I'm pretty sure Kenny is top 3 NL earners at Commerce, and doesn't have any known leaks.
