What's up with Josh Arieh Lately?

He made the all-to-common dive into feetporn

The long term for high stakes live cash game players is very, very, very long. If they are playing 20 hands an hour, 8 hours a day, that is basically less than what most online players go through in 30 minutes. The long term for online players is considered to be upwards of 100k hands typically, a number than a live play can take a year to hit. It is not odd than a live cash game player can run bad for a year, or run well for a year. Not saying this is the case with Arieh, but it seems that people are all too results oriented with live players.

Um isn't Josh also known for being an online cashgame player, with a special talent for omaha?

Really? I was under the impression he was a hs live player. Anyway, my point isnt really about Arieh, just for live players in general.

fwiw, when i played him on PS in PLO, he didnt seem like anything special

[dStrangefate]

There was an article at Poker News mentioning him the other day, claiming he won something like a record 14 heads-up matches in a row for one their promotional tourneys. You know, one of those things where the top tourney player for the week gets to play him for some amount of money. Not sure if this actually nets Arieh anything though; may just be part of his contract for this site.

He also won the Bodog invitational tourney that was televised on Fox a few months back. Not sure when that actually took place though. Winner took home a million, or half million, or something like that, along with a motorcycle.

However, a top live game player has a much bigger edge than a top onine player. Seeing your opponent and having the opportunity to take advantage of their tells adds a lot to your edge. This means you will get into the long run a bit faster. However, half a year of running bad is still a LONG time, lol.

didnt he place close to the top at WSOP? who in the world knows how good/bad he is at poker. once someone wins millions, they can become a tourney pro, get a ton of endorsment money and just hang around like a throw rug. i would be skeptical of any "Pro" who became famous after a big tourney win.

So you're skeptical of about 75% of the famous pros?
