this is why i maintain that the so called "pros" you see on TV are not the best players in the world. not by a longshot. i guarantee you some online players have more experince than them by sheer volume of hands. If you combine that with live play to pick up reads, tells and those skills, then im sure you can easily find better players than the ones on TV. anyone agree?

I enjoy watching Hellmuth get stacked repeatedly for real money. He is the official mascot for team "tourney donkey" and is being treated/playing as such.

A lot of them are [censored] good. And a lot of them are good tournament players who would get eaten alive if they played the toughest online games.

I think it is obvious which players are sort of lost in a deep stacked cash game (Hellmuth obv), and which ones would be clear winners in just about any game out there.

Guys like Ivey, Greenstein, Reese, Negreanu etc... could hold their own in pretty much any game. This is not the case with some other famous players like Helmuth, Mike M. etc...

A lot of them have more of a LHE/stud background and it shows. Eli Elezra seems to constantly call river bets when he can only beat a bluff.
