Deal with the 4k/8k game?
Just watched the Greenstein cardplayer articles and he mentions that the 4k/8k game they play is a private game. How do they make money if this is true?

Like in any poker game, the better players make money from the worse players.

uhm, in the video he says the big game is open to anybody, and theres always a seat open
i'm guessing random rich fish (kinda like andy beal, but probably not that much GAMBOOOL in them, i guess) or recent tourney winners is where the new money comes from, instead of the money being recycled over and over between the regulars. also remember that they do a lot of their playing outside of the bellagio when its not the wsop. |

When they are in other casinos, they sometimes play with $1 chips, agreeing to pay back whatever is won. I assume this presents problems when an unknown or little known player wants to join.

The pile of chips in front of each them just gets downright silly. That's why Danny N. doesn't play in the Big Game -- he knows that if his chip stack collapsed and fell onto his puny little frame, he'd be crippled for life. |
