Question: Regarding the very big, live game, full table NLH games, how many players who are, or were, considered mainly internet players, would be among the top twenty best players, playing that game?

I don't like the way this question is phrased. You are basically asking if any of the regular winners in the live game are mainly internet players. It's very hard to be both (and I don't mean skill wise). The top winners online generally keep playing online, especially now that there are very high stakes games online. They would have to move to Vegas to become mainly live players.

Guys like SBrugby, OMGClayAiken, etc. would obviously be winners at the Venetian (if they were invited) or at Bobby's room (if it was NL only).

Dumb question, but why would you need to be invited to play in the Venetian game? If there's an open seat, can't anyone sit down and play? Would Gabe really stage a walkout if you tried to sit down "uninvited"?

you would lose a lot of respect and piss off a lot of people. if you plan on being around the live poker scene for any length of time, its best to not piss everyone off. its like when 2 ppl are playing HU on stars or whatever, and both request HU, then the other guy posts and plays anyway.

i also think it's more that the game is setup in advance, and the table is full. you can get on the list at that point because it is a public room, but the game might be full for 8 hours and then everyone decides to call it a night.

honestly, i dont think it is so much that the people who get the game going want to keep internet players out, i think it's just that their friends and contacts are mostly not the people who frequent 2p2. i'm sure it's a little of both, though.

lmao!! No he is not. "would" and "are" have two distinct meanings. You have misunderstood because you haven't read the question properly. He is asking if any internet players were to play that game would they be in the top twenty.
