I'm going to post in this thread even though I'm not going to read it.

I'll be god damned if I'm not one of the top 100 NLHE poker players in the world, and I'm probably not one of the top 50 internet players.

I'll also be damned if even half of the top 20 are live players, or if ANY of the top 20 NLHE shorthanded players are live players.

I cant believe this post got this much attention. Of course the live guys would beat the internet guys in live, deep nlhe.

If we make 2 assumptions

1. NL hold'em online is tougher when levels are compared 10"0 versus 10/20 etc

2. NL live top players are better than online players


If these are both true there gotta be a cutoff somewhere where the playing field is level. All that claim that top live players are better than internet players must hence have so much information to make that cutoff.

My questions are,

Which level is that?

I don't buy into any of this if someone claims,
well first we have the 20 live guys and then hmm directly after that we have 100 Internet guys and then the rest of the good live guys. It seems more like an ego thing if it is put that way.


Live players probably see some mistakes that internet players make due to the difference in agression in the games, they will learn that quick if the put some time to do it.

The live players probably play better against the fish at the high stakes but what is more interesting is if they take money off the good internet guys.

Whataburger = good malts.

I don't get why the answer is 0. Online players don't get enough respect

Maybe Patrik was thinking of this hand vs Sbrugby when he answered (Sorry about format and partial info)
London Cash Game (Live) (8-9 Handed) (Deep, both bought in for 500k)
I believe there was a check call from Patrik on 6-5h-Q no flush draw
Turn Kh, Patrik Check calls 20k from Sbrugby
River 4 (no heart) board reads 6 5 Q K 4 no flush
Patrik checks, Sbrugby Bets 40k(???) Patrik Check raises to 150k Sbrugby Calls (???)
What about this river bet? Does he think Antonius is some loose calling station? And then calls?

from here, should be on tv or youtube in near future

Sbrugby also played too aggressively on high stakes poker (8 handed, deep) and seemed to lose at least 100k on mostly bad semi bluffs into strong hands
I realize it's unfair to single him out but he's really the only one who's played significantly on these shows, with this exact criteria.
