or maybe he got smart and found a real job. being a professional poker player seems like it would get really old, really fast. |

Date: June 26th, 2022 1:06 PM Author: Iridescent Slippery Useless Brakes Knife It’s an awful way to make a living unless you’re one of the top 1% of high rollers. Even guys like Hellmuth make more money selling private “coaching” to rubes and getting various sponsorship money.
The online games are too tough to grind for real money these days and you can’t get the volume in live to make a great income unless at the highest stakes and with access to special games loaded with donkeys that people like :D have no chance to regularly access. |

Date: June 26th, 2022 2:10 PM Author: Flatulent burgundy idiot if you took a top internet player and put them against a top live professional heads-up in a live setting, it's very likely the the top internet player would win over a large sample. they have a way better understanding of hand ranges and mathematically optimal play than live professionals. the slow place of live play necessitates maximal exploitation of weak players (who are often quite plentiful). the edges in online play are much smaller since the player pool is much tougher (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5139905&forum_id=2#44747750) |

Date: June 26th, 2022 2:13 PM Author: Iridescent Slippery Useless Brakes Knife This isn’t wrong but the top internet players aren’t going to get invited into the juicy high stakes games because the whales would rather play with Ivey or Daniel Negrenau than autists like :D.

Date: June 26th, 2022 6:28 PM Author: turquoise lascivious bawdyhouse electric furnace It's pretty routine for live pros to play lots of online hands -- Ivey, Hellmuth, Negreanu, Esfandiari, Jake Schindler, etc. all play/ed a lot online. Most pros have just as many hours playing 5 tables at a time online as any autist, but they also have way more live time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5139905&forum_id=2#44749219) |

Date: June 26th, 2022 6:51 PM Author: Flatulent burgundy idiot most of them weren't successfully playing nosebleed games online. Ivey and Antonius are notable exceptions, but guys like Negreanu had major failures against online professionals (see the match against Doug Polk) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5139905&forum_id=2#44749297) |

Date: June 27th, 2022 8:15 AM Author: turquoise lascivious bawdyhouse electric furnace I think a lot of mid-level pros do, but this is a fair point.
Incidentally, I think Phil Ivey is the best alive.
Jake Schindler is also on a real hot streak. |

Date: June 26th, 2022 2:23 PM Author: Iridescent Slippery Useless Brakes Knife I used poker tracker 3 back before Black Friday. I imagine the software has only gotten better since then. If you google poker tracker you can have an idea what this software does and see how much the deck is stacked against casual players who don’t use this stuff.
