Re: Does PP really have some of the best SNG players in the World?
Avoiding them doesnt mean you can't beat them or your affraid of them. It means you can beat someone else for more hence it is a better use of your time. Obviously these people paly against each other at times, but it isn't as profitable for them to play against each other as it is for them to play agaisnt 9 fish. It is smart poker to do this, and doesn't say anything about the overall skill of the people involved.

Re: Does PP really have some of the best SNG players in the World?
So I'm multitabling 200 SNG's on Party about 2 months ago after a round or so I notice a guy sitting to my immediate left and his id says John Juanda. For some funny reason I think it might have been him.
Never seen him since or before that.

i did'nt say that you had to go searching for anybody; however, to say "i avoid tables where x-amount of good players are seated" definitely shows your intention to avoid playing players who are good. if you can't play against and hold your own against even the "supposed" best players, how do you consider yourself one of the "best"? [/ QUOTE ] Table selection is an underrated skill. If the 10th best player sat down with the 9 other best players in the world, what would result? That player would go broke, and the results would be awful. Desdia, you out of all people should realize that this potentially makes the 10th best player in the world one of the worst.

Best Players on the INTERNET
There is a huge difference between the internet and live games. People can't see your expressions over the net unlike in a live game. Psychology and tells are a huge part of live poker. How many times are you jumping around your chair while during a hand on the internet? Those things won't fly live, so I believe that PP has the best players on the INTERNET not in the world.

[ QUOTE ] You can't be serious Desdia... No smart poker player is going to search out the best competition and play them day in and day out. There is no prizefor being the best broke poker player in the world, as someone else put it. Think about it there are about 2 places in the world to play SNGs Stars and Party, and the high level Star's ones don't run often enough to matter. Ask yourself this then where are the best SNG players going to be playing? [/ QUOTE ] i did'nt say that you had to go searching for anybody; however, to say "i avoid tables where x-amount of good players are seated" definitely shows your intention to avoid playing players who are good. if you can't play against and hold your own against even the "supposed" best players, how do you consider yourself one of the "best"? [/ QUOTE ] Des, I think that everyone in the world does this. Even the "best in the world." Chip Reese walks in one day and sees the lineup at the big game contains not a single whale or sucker, I'm thinking he might consider not playing that game that day. A big factor in being the best at poker or close to it is game selection. Why play against the other 9 best players in the world with a ROI of 15% or 20% if you could pick your game and play against 9 terrible players with an ROI of 30%? It is in the nature of the best poker players in the world to duck strong competition, een competition they have an advantage over, because they have other gambles available to them that have greater expectation. If you don't understand that, you didn't read Theory of Poker. You might want to go over some of those "commonsense" applications. citanul

[/ QUOTE ] That's not necessarilly true... well, now, hold on....if the 9th, 8th, 7th, 3rd and 2nd best SNG players didn't realize that we all descended from the BLACK MAN OF AFRICA, then I think the 10th best player has a shot at winning some money here. I mean, how can he not??
