If he's not considering Patrik Antonius to be product of online poker, he clearly doesn't even know what he's talking about. PA made his name and bankroll online.

That's right. I have been hearing this "PA was originally a live player" argument a lot lately (even from Durrr on Pokerroad Radio). Yeah, he played 100 euro PLO at http://www.grandcasinohelsinki.fi/ before his i_knockout_u days, but to claim he's not an online player is beyond rediculous.

lol @ morans like you deducing from a sample of size of two or three TV hands that Kenny Tran is a station.

Kenny Tran is considered the best by those he plays against, and whilst he may not be correct in the comments David has cited him saying, you have no business passing any sort of judgement on him.

moran.

Moran - O Móráin. The Irish form of this name, means,'descendent of Mórán', translated,'The Great One'. This is the name of a respected branch of the Uí Fiachrach in the present counties of Mayo and Sligo. Apart from the Irish legend in Kenya the Masaai tribe also call the brave young masaai men Moran these are supposed to be liomn hearted men who protect the herds by fighting lions who are abundant in the African savannah

No. That is a side issue. He has certain people in mind. He knew that some people would consider Patrik an internet player so he just wanted to make clear that for the purposes of this discussion he didn't. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he would put him in the top twenty either.

Also, when he said, they can't lay down a hand, he meant in live games where he considered it a mistake. He told me about a hand where his well known internet opponent could have saved tens of thousands of dolllars if he would have made what Kenny considered the obvious play of folding two kings preflop. I guess that fold is never made in internet games.

I would hope this isn't his primary "evidence" regarding online players.

I think this is a pretty weak argument that online players aren't capable of making ridiculous folds with the second nuts, when few people are live or online. I don't think it's a leak if once in a blue moon you get involved in a hand where you get coolered but "might" have been able to get away, like the hand where Negreanu lost with a boat to quads vs Hansen on HSP.

Kenny is naive to internet players, most top high stakes online players play 6max primarily, and almost all their play is online. I think Kenny should try his hand at online hsnl before he makes comments like this with little basis.
