Lot of blah blah about this 500k buy-in game but it isn`t much different then the last few episodes of the last season.

The blinds are the same (with mandatory straddle but players were straddling most of the time every season so far anyway)

There was over 4mill at the table last season.
Brad - 1 mill, PA 500k , Ivey and David 300k each etc etc.

The only thing out of ordinary in next week game is the rich fish and I`m sure all of the Pros will be gunning for him and stay out of marginal situations against each other.

I think it`s silly to bring such a great source of income like Guy and humiliate him on TV when he is losing millions to them online and live already.

Guy should have bought in for like 50million or something absurd

ok SO it would make sense that the blinds are most likely going to be higher... anyone hear the structure? Im'a say

4-800 + Min Stradle (mandatory)?

Or Just 500/1k

That'd be pretty dumb it if was still 3-600

Obviously Doyle is saying that to make even more hype around the show, even though it's the truth for some of them

Lineup:
Antonio Esfandiari <- I'd guess about $2-3 mill
Sam Farha <- Probably worth $10 mill+
David Benyamine <- -$$$
Patrik Antonius <- Probably worth $10 mill+
Guy Laliberté <- billionaire
Jamie Gold <- PROBABLY worth $10 mill+
Doyle Brunson <- Probably worth $10 mill+
Barry Greenstein <- Probably worth $10 mill+

BR is another case, I'd say people have action (40%+) in David Benyamine (who in this lineup!?), Barry Greenstein and Antonio Esfandiari

Comments are welcome

gold not worth that much. if he split it 50/50 or even 75/50 the taxes still took 40% especially considering he is a calif resident. calif really likes to rape the rich

dudes, all i know is i cant wait till next monday!

the only thing that sucks is that hellmuth wins. it's so much fun watching the guy get all crazy after losing 2 monster pots in a row.

Didn't Ivey once say that you couldn't pay him $10M/yr to take an office job?

Or something similar to that?

Didn't "BloodsweatandTears" Say that in order to play comfortably you need 100 buy ins. 500k x 100 = 500million BR. I guess everyone is under rolled for this game besides Guy Laliberte. Doyle is right!

what a tool... 500k times 100 is not 500mil... try 50 mil you moron. sheesh

yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. i don't think there are all that many poker pros who are worth more than a couple million.

[/ QUOTE ]
Is this sarcasm? I can think of 20 randomly off the top of my head that are worth more than a couple million.

Well the math sucks but other than that he does make agood point. BldSwtTrs' said that if you are playing very good players, you only have a small (if any!) edge and so need a large roll/BI ratio to stand the swings. I doubt any of them have $50m+.

wasnt this BR management in relation to 6+ tabling on the internet rather than playing 15 hands an hour or whatever live?
