Which HSP players could beat 5/10 NL online?

[Rebel88]

No. I posted how weak it is cause I get destroyed in the game.

[Donkey-Milker]

let's be serious... barring Jamie Gold... THEY ALL COULD...

if they WANTED and NEEDED to.

just imagine if you won the lottery for $20 million tomorrow... you really think you would play $5/$10nl as well as you may do now?


this question won't be answered though as they will never try.

it also makes me kind of sad to see this thread. most of these guys are not just tourney donks who struck it lucky once. they are poker players who have won consistently at most levels to climb to the top.

granted - when they played $5/$10 nlhe it wasn't as tough as it may be not on FT or PS. but they beat it.

so it seems like the new breed are questioning those who have already been there before.. for what?

bottom line - if they needed to (like we do) and wanted to... they could and would. but they don't... so they don't.

Are they going to be playing full ring or 6 max online?

So that they feel better about going bust time after time at that level, telling themselves that guys like Helmtuth, Antonio and the Mouth couldn't beat it either.

Some pretty established posters have beaten the games being discussed. You may be right, or it could be they want to compare live games to online.

Interesting question. You could also put it the other way round: which of these players could a winning 5/10 online grinder beat playing live?

For sure: Barry and Antonio

Maybe: Hellmuth and Mikey

Not a prayer: Eli, Sammy, Jamie

Agreed. I voted yes for Barry, Antonio, and Mike. I almost voted yes for Phil; it was close. And about Mike...as long as he didn't try all-in donk bluffs, I think he'd be fine.

Point taken, but imo those guys like stinger for example who play the highest stakes and have been for awhile now and probably don't remember the true standard level of play at the 5/10; seeing that they worked their way up and have played much tougher competition and have become accustom to it.

Didn't mean to sound like an [censored] with my comment, but it just annoys me to see all these online players think that every live pro is a huge fish, and couldn't beat msnl. I think the top online players are better than the best live ones; however to say that some of thse guys couldn't beat (not destroy) but just beat the 5/10 online is ludacris.

[Python49]

who the F are these people saying elezra, farha, helmuth, and gold can beat 5/10 nl at FTP/PS? HELMUTH? loooooool. I guess alot of people responding to the thread are micro/small stakes online players.

[SNOWBALL]

do you guys think jamie gold is actually the worst player mentioned in this list? I think Eli is much worse. Can you name some hands you think he played terribly? Plz name more than one. Every player makes mistakes.
