I think it would probably be very easy to play some kind of super tight rock strategy in limit cash games and be as "successful" as the system would be in the long run in tournament play.

No.

If you don't believe me try it. You would probably beat .02/.04-1/2 this way. But the way the small stakes games are now I doubt that you could beat the Party 3/6 game playing a "super tight" strategy, much less any game over 10/20.

Well he's only saying it would be as "successful" as using the system in tourneys. Thats not a very high bar to reach.

Exactly - that's why "successful" was in quotes.

Finally the real Henchman replies. Howard, are your knees a bit soiled from all the down and up (mostly down) that you've been doing lately. Hey, why not, I bet "Paul" as you so dearly call him will highly reward you. He might just open his zipper himself next time. Hope so, you deserve it! Tell "Paul" that big meany Vince is telling the truth about him and you can't stop him. Waaaaaaaaaa!

this makes the barry g v. daniel n. match up at the wynn all the more interesting. Wonder if the house is staking a portion/all of DN's game as publicity?

fair enough. I just think the NL system is a lot more powerful than your suggested limit poker system.

i've always been a fan of barryg b/c he seemed to me like a guy who had no use for pomp & circumstance b/c he believed firmly in what he knew to be the truth.

i guess the guy is only human though and it sounds like his ego was a bit bruised by his "contemporaries" garnering so much attention.

There are five top players: There's Doyle Brunson, there's Chip Reese, there's Chau Giang, there's Phil Ivey, there's myself," Greenstein says.

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering Doyle Brunson was about to have a losing year until he won a WPT tourney, should he be included?

Of course variance is important even at those levels and Barry Greenstein seems has no real reason to lie.

I think he said at close to the end of the article to "bring money" if you didnt agree with his statements. I think this means you Mr. Sklansky or whoever else doesnt agree.

Vince, since you know so much about poker, why aren't you winning any tournaments or even making any final tables? Why are you still playing so low? Why not move up to the limits where PP plays and take his money?
