the main barrier most online players face is not the lack of invitation or their scared nature. it's that traveling cross-country to sit around all day playing live poker at a mind-bogglingly slow pace while listening to annoying table talk all day is just pure pain.

FWIW im pretty sure the reasons FWF listed for potentially not playing are the same reasons iPods and alcohol were invented

I'll be there beating up those live pros.

Edit: And I'm not even close to Top 50 online.

qp,

"would be cool to see some 2p2ers man up but i doubt it happens"

A bunch of 2p2/online players stepped up to play 500/1k+ NL/PLO when that game went at the Bellagio during the WSOP. There's no shortage of online players willing to play big vs. live pros.

This is the other major factor that doesn't get discussed much in the online vs. live debates. Online cash players are mostly shorthanded specialists. Live cash players are mostly ring game players. Since the two types of games play very differently, the format of any challenge match will be huge.

Going from shorthanded to ring game play requires a significant adjustment. The opposite is true, too, which is why a lot of ring game players get run over shorthanded. Adjusting isn't always easy, but a failure to do so is costly.

BTW, Barry Greenstein, in his analysis of Patrik Antonius, notes that Patrik's main weakness is ring games (i.e., his lack of adjustment from shorthanded play).

If any challenge match comes off, an edge will go to the live pros if the format is 9- or 10-handed.
