Which pro do you think you can beat heads up??
 

If you had a Moneymaker like run in the WSOP and got to choose a poker pro to be up against heads up, with about even chip stacks, who would it be??

Re: Which pro do you think you can beat heads up??
 

phil helmuth.

point 1, cos id go all in with most hands. i dont expect to outplay the guys so i will rely on luck. this means i could play anyone the same effectively.

point 2, i know id be loving doing it to helmuth. i dont really like him, so id love to see him squirm under the knowledge on every AK ive a 40% chance to win.

plus his blow up should the strategy work would be hillarious

Vince Lepore. It's not close.

I voted Gus in the hopes he would make some wacky call against me and I'd at least be able to get my money in as the favourite, which is less likely with the others on your list.

do you not think all the pros on the list are damn good heads up.

there is no strategy to use against you if all of your moves are either all in or fold. even if they wait till they get a monster, and assuming you dont have either a bigger hand or folded it, even then youve still got a fair % to win.

im certainly not willing to see flops against anyone on that list. not even with vince/smoothcall.

I voted for "Other." I'd like to end up against Phil Laak. He can't count outs properly.

I would pick Moneymaker

Johnny Chan would beat me so bad I would beat him :eek3:

not sure which question to answer. "which pro do you think you could beat heads up?" is different than, "who would it be if you got to choose a poker pro to be heads up against?"

it goes without saying that i'd have a better chance against the moneymakers of the world, but i wouldn't enjoy that nearly as much as i'd enjoy getting heads up with hellmuth- he's the heads up champion, but hell, it would be worth it just because of the stories i could always have.
