Deal with the 4k/8k game?

[popniklas]

I have thought a lot about this game too. Barry G says that even though all players are very good, they are not equal. Thus, some are getting the best of it. That makes sense.

But what does not really make sense to me, is why the losing regular players in this game doesn't play regular high limit games instead, in which they probably would be big winners.

On the other hand... From what I understand, there are sometimes rich suckers who sits down and loses a bundle (so I don't know about the game being "private"). So perhaps none of the regulars are actually losing? (Seems unlikely though.) I don't know. But the whole concept of the game fascinates me.

If you believe Barry Greenstein, the only players that consistently win money are Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, Chau Gaing (sp?), and, of course, Barry Greenstein. So I'm sure they have room for other players who, although extremely good, aren't as good as these five.

Also, according to Barry (although he hasn't said it in quite so many words), Gus Hansen is the fish of the table.

Read some of his posts on 2+2. He's repeatedly said that Gus is a struggling player at the higher limits.

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.

[/ QUOTE ]so each 1 dollar chip is really 1k?

Nope, each chip is still only worth a dollar. 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.

That's easy to believe, he doesn't have a small fraction of the experience most of these guys have and he's playing against the best in the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his status in that game really fast, he already proved he has pretty much all you need to be one of the best, except the experience.
