I don't think he really cares how he plays in the low stakes game.

If he was playing for money he wouldn't bother playing 1/2

He is there for publicity thast is all.

Even for Moneymaker, I don't think 100/200 qualifies as low limit.

There is no way this is true. After paying paxes and his backers, he only got like 600k. He was already in debt, and he's certainly not the calibur of player to be playing higher than this. I would be very surprised if he played higher than this.

Did you read what I posted? I said there is no way 100/200 is low limit to MM, meaning that 100/200 is most certainly not a publicity play or something one might consider "low limit" to him.

He only got 20% of his winnings? hard time believing that.

I think he ended up with at least 1.5M after paying tax and his gambling debts.

And he gave half that to his backers. So he has 750K.

What do you mean "backers"? Didn't he win a stars qualifier? Who would back a degenerate gambler anyhow? ....Confused [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

not that it matters, but does moneymaker have a dedicated table to play at on PS?

if they run "pro" tables like at fulltilt, then it would not surprise me if he pays people off simply so they can say: "i swept a pot from moneymaker on PS".. good advertising and good PR...

also he may be used to calling people down simply because he has zero fold equity.
