Re: Hm, now Joe Hachem playing 25/50nl on stars
[ QUOTE ]
I don't think anyone ever said he was a good player and I don't think he claims to be. This is what pisses me off about all this [censored]. [/ QUOTE ] Clarkmeister played with Moneymaker in the Mirage 40-80 game and thought he could beat that.

Re: Hm, now Joe Hachem playing 25/50nl on stars
Does anyone know if these guys (Hachem and Moneymaker) are actually playing with their own money, or are they just playing because of contractual obligations with PokerStars money? IMO that makes a big difference in how they play.

Unless, you mean Pokerstars stakes them and they take away the stake and any profits at the end. Then playing like a donk would be +EV soley for meta-game reasons in case you ever encounter these players live or observers.

[/ QUOTE ] if it's not their money they may just donk around and consider it good business advertising. Donking it up makes everyone playing with them think. "gee if this donk can win the WSOP ME, I should enter all these satellites and win the ME myself"
