Re: why are the pros cleaning up so much?
The "pros" are cleaning up because there are like 200 players who are considered to be a pro. When a tourney has 600 entries, 200 of which are full time poker players, it is pretty clear that one of these pros is usually going to win.

Are you sure it's not pokerstars.net? I hear A LOT of pros go there to practice... [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I've seen Barry Greenstein on there he usually does OK. Most people leave the table when Hellmuth sits though.

the pros are dominating this years wsop. there's been so many big name winners - chan, seidel, seif, cunningham, arieh, todd brunson, cloutier, greenstein... what is going on? how are they able to fight through these huge fields? i thought everyone said it wouldn't happen like this and it would just be random amateurs taking the bracelets home. what have the pros figured out? [/ QUOTE ] Its the huge fields of dead money. Everybody talks about the negative aspect of that, but nobody's looked at the flip side of this. Sure, such large fields mean that there are plenty of mine fields that can take you out. It means lots of wild, unpredicable play. It means lots of unbluffable players. But it also mean a lot of oportunities to get lots of money into the pot with an edge, sometimes with a really big edge. This means that while they may run into plenty of people who will gamboool it up and may get lucky and knock them out, the top players also have serious oportunities to acquire large amounts of chips. And in tournament play, large stacks equate to power and longevity. --Zetack

chan, seidel, seif, cunningham, arieh, todd brunson, cloutier, greenstein... [/ QUOTE ] Yes, why are the best players in the world doing well? Strange that they would be able to wade through a bunch of idiots in a tournament every now and then. This question sucks.
