[ QUOTE ]
I was wondering what kind of bankroll would be sufficient to play in this game especially knowing it is against other pros. Also who in your opinion will be a long term winner and long term loser in this game? Discuss [/ QUOTE ] From Barry Greestien's web site Who has won the most money in the biggest games? As I mentioned in my analysis of them, Doyle Brunson and Chip Reese are the Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus of poker. They have played in the biggest games in Las Vegas for thirty years. I have played in the biggest games available for the last decade and have probably won the most money. Poker is played for bigger stakes now, and just like on the PGA, the younger players have an opportunity to eclipse the money records of the older pros. Phil Ivey, the most talented young player around, will probably eventually pass us all in terms of career money winnings. I've also seen Barry (or maybe it was Daniel) say somewhere that Ivey has been the most successful in the last year I believe. |

[ QUOTE ] And also, cold cards aren't going to affect these guys at all. In that game it's not about the cards. [/ QUOTE ] So you're saying there's a huge difference in skill between the players in this game? [/ QUOTE ] no... |

OK, there's no way Ivey is playing to high for himself because he's got the biggest roll of all of them. [/ QUOTE ] Not necessarily. [ QUOTE ] And also, cold cards aren't going to affect these guys at all. In that game it's not about the cards. [/ QUOTE ] No. |

This is just a guess but I would venture to say that Chip Reese, Doyle, and Johnny Chan all have at least 30 million in their bankrolls. That guess is probably on the low side.
Once again, it is only a guess based on what I have read. |

i really cant see chan having any more than a couple mill at most in his roll. if you watch his emotions on the tournament of champions and the PSI:finals, its quite apparent that the money means something to him.

I heard Ivey made 20 million last year. In Gordon's book, he mentions a pro made 20+ million last year so probably Ivey.

What this thread needs is some more uneducated speculation.
