And what's the guess on the number of players at this table who would be able to beat 0.5/1 NL on PS for a decent winrate?

How about 100%

After Howard Leaderer & Todd Brunson I guess any girl would be stretched out.

So how do you know Howard and Todd are shall we say big stacked?

Arent they going to reach a point (like around 1200/2400 NL or maybe 1200/2400/with a forced 4800 straddle NL) where the blinds are too high for cash to even play since cash will just get in the way? I mean if its 4800 to go, we are taking a standard pre-flop raise of 18k and the pot can easily get to 80k-ish on the flop. All it takes a little bit of action on the flop and you could easily get 500k+ on the turn and 2m+ on river. I dont think betting 1m in cash is really possible. Anyone else have opinions of this? How far up in stakes can they go and still play cash?

I'll play you $50/$100 heads up on FullTilt any day of the week. Not wanting to brag, but since your post is implying I'm some kind of fool, let me say that I haven't had a losing heads up session on those stakes at FullTilt in more than two years.

Edit: It just occurred to me that that statement is consistent with not having played any 50/100 heads up on FT in the last 2 years. So, same, dude!

Lol that shove is so damn retarted.
I mean sure if you like flip coins 30/70 all day long I'm game but dont claim its a "good strategy" to do so.

What if I'm 30/70 but I'm getting paid way more than even money when I win?

I haven't thought about it that much, but I think the pot was like $115,000 after Hellmuth's raise, so Baxter put in $60,000 to win $145,000. He's often more than 60/205 (29%) to win the pot. In that case, folding is out, and calling makes no sense because the money is going in on the turn anyway.

A set is the only hand where Baxter is -EV here, and even then it's okay since he's getting only slightly bad odds, and he has implied tilt odds plus first priority in doing business with Hellmuth. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is kind of back of the envelope, but it seems clear to me that the shove is not "so damn retarted," though I know that everyone likes to take really extreme positions on every single play.
