Re: for those who love the gossip
[ QUOTE ]
a few days ago i was in vegas and farha was playing benyamine heads up for about 12 hours (at least) while i was at the bellagio. The blinds were 8k 16k for o8 and 1k 2k i think for plo. I don't think the big game is going to get smaller, i think it is going to get bigger, and fill up with players like benyamine / ozzy / ivey / antonius, and there will become a 'smaller big game' for newbs like harman / elezra / negreanu to play in. I also think this new BIGGER game won't have any stud in it. Oh yea, in the match it looked like benyamine was up a sh1tload of money. When i watched a random hand, it wnet raise from button, check call down about pot on every street. Pot looked like it was about 150,000. [/ QUOTE ] Does Ozzy even play o/8, PLO, or any other game than NLHE? Don't most "newbs" i.e aba, boosted, bld, whateveer play primarily NLHE? I really don't think many of them will be playing in any of those games you mentioned. With the exception of Antonius, who hass been playing those games for awhile now anyway.

[/ QUOTE ] He never said they don't. He said he doesn't think they will in the future. He may be right. What's the biggest stud game you've seen played online recently? [/ QUOTE ] ummm...1k/2k

Re: for those who love the gossip
M,
As recently as a year ago I would have laughed at a comment about big games online taking over big live games. Now it sure seems like a real possibility. Multi-tabling, guys are already playing effectively close to or maybe even bigger than they are able to play live. Sick.

With how much faster you can play online, I would guess that true earn rates are already higher online (as opposed to just variance swings which are still bigger live cuz they play fewer hands at higher stakes)
