Re: How Kenny Tran Rates Internet Players
they should make an episode of high stakes poker with half the lineup of the originals (live pros) and the other half the top 5 or so online players. 500k buyin or something, that'd be so awesome to watch

[/ QUOTE ] A lot of the "live game" skill comes in finding marks and getting games with them and keeping them entertained. This is where the old lives pros have excelled so well. They've got marks like Guy and Flynt and of course Eli and Sammy and many many more. I'm sure Gabe has got a good game going and he doesn't want some online guys coming and destroying the game. |

Re: How Kenny Tran Rates Internet Players
Many of the Internet guys have no idea how much they give up playing live.
I assume Aba knows by now why he got smoked live after the live guys got some hands in against him... |

Re: How Kenny Tran Rates Internet Players
i think there's some truth to what Kenny says, in the following sense: in your typical live 50-100 game, I think your typical live 50-100+ pros will have a higher EV than even some of the best high-limit online pros. at least, if EV in the games that regularly go is how you judge the "best" players, then i'd guess there's a good chance that no online player is in the top 20. however, that's a very different thing than saying those live pros would collectively be a favorite in a game against the best internet pros, even if the game were played live.
