Would Chris Ferguson Be a Good Cash Game Player?

He'd be a better cash game player than Negreanu ( in NLHE), but that doesn't mean he would be a winning player.

lol wtf? cash game bracelets??? lol.
PH sucks and cash games and is only a decent tournament player. Winning 11 bracelets isnt that [censored] hard when you been playing in them all forever and have managed to luckbox some.

Obviously you are one of the "slow" forum members who doesn't understand what sarcasm is. Obviously there is no cash-game bracelets. Therefore, there isn't a way to measure cash-game success like there is in Tournaments. It's not likely the guy is going to post his financial records so everyone can judge how good he is.


But he is an excellent cash-game player. He knows the math, he knows the game well.... and he been playing it forever. His fame came from tournaments, but he got in those tournaments by grinding it out in cash games.


To say he is a "bad" cash game player is total [censored]. Get off your high chair or at least try to support your reasoning on why he is so bad.


But I think Phil Helmuth biggest success is his ability to market himself. A lot of people hate him .... but he isn't a "bad" player.

The guy is an authority on game theory and a giant winner in tournaments. He is also more intelligent than 99.9% of his opponents. He could easily beat all but perhaps the very highest games.

Potentially? Sure, but that goes for a lot of people.

But are you really saying that Chris could jump into say the online 50/100 or 100/200 NLHE games right now and "crush" them?

I highly, highly doubt that.

I put those in the category of "the very highest games"

Didn't it take like 7 months from 0 to $100? Then the heater...

Just kidding, maybe he just was cold decked or the site is rigged.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or maybe he knew it was a waste of [censored] time to play freerolls.

[Starfish]

For such a smart man and expert in game theory you would think he would find that out a little sooner.

But he really had to play freerolls to get the seed in his roll. Then to nanolimit, busted, back to freerolls and again... (I don't know what kind of opportunities there are in freerolls to win like a dollar - maybe it's really hard. Never tried one.)

ummm no lol. he doesnt know the math. playing it forever doesnt = playing that many hands. phil helmuth is a fish when he sits in a good cash game. im not going to go out of my way to post various hands from cash games that have been posted that he just played horribly.

[Dire]

he'd do great <font color="white">against jamie gold</font>.

[RikaKazak]

able to beat 200/400...doubt it
