I'd guess you're kidding here, or you just really didn;t think it through, since considering you either make 1.75 million or lose 1.5 million, you answer essentially means you feel you have a 24% or so chance of doubling up vs these guys. There aren't 20 players in the world who have that chance, and, no offense, I doubt you're one of them.

Regardless of the chances, in my poker dreams this is the game I dream about, the big game at the Bellagio, not cameras or Vince Van Patten (although obviously a WSOP bracelet would be a nice dream too, but thats not guaranteed in any way in the hypothetical).

PLUS

I think at least a fair amount of rich suckers get in to that game, I know that most of those pros have no problem sitting around and taking money from each other but there still has to be some flow of soft money in to the game, I could just avoid everyone who has their own DVD, website or bobble-head doll.

Well, i one of the big games, the "sucker" is Larry Flynt, who, from what i hear, is an excellent player in his own right. It's all straight stud, and the other regulars are Ivey, Oppenheim, Hennigan, Greenstein, Reese, and Giang. Soft sapots in these games are often guys who are only stellar players. It's a lofty and grand goal, but under this scenariom it's a weak 2nd place.
