Now that you mention it, I've never see the Ace of Clubs come on three consecutive streets.

search for 'franknagaijr' on stars right now if you've got too much time on your hands.

Edit- Came in 3rd in a field of 439. Has anybody ever played with 'jaliks' before? His preflop selection and his postflop calling selection screamed donk, and yet he was the chip leader of the final two.

I love these guys, straight and a terrible low on a paired and flushed board.

Would I be wrong to say that these guys couldn't care less about a $3/6 game and are just there to fulfill their contractual obligations and gamble it up?

[/ QUOTE ]

my opinions based on online play, hearsay, and televised broadcasts:

Greg Raymer's strongest games are tournaments (obviously) and limit cash games such as HORSE. Personally, I'm dubious of his big-bet expertise.

Joe Hachem's strongest games are NLHE and tournaments, he plays PLO8 like a NLHE player would and probably misses many nuances of O8 in general.

Do they care about winning or losing when they play online? Raymer talks about bad beats and outdraws while he is playing, so he seems to be playing intently. They both also seem to tilt when they lose online, which I think is some indication of caring.

[/ QUOTE ]
Don't forget I reckon both are on at $500,000 a year sponsorship deals. They don't care about donking some chips off contractually.
Stars were willing to pay this years WSOP winner $1,000,000

I'd be curious to see what their contracts and salaries actually entail, as well as most other sponsored pros.

Moneymaker is still working for Stars in 2007, but is his image still worth $500,000/year?
