When I mentioned to Phil Ivey that Daniel had written that Phil made more money than I did the last few years, Phil gave me the correct answer: “Why do you care?”


[/ QUOTE ]

Amen. These threads read like a bad soap opera.

Daniel doesn’t know me very well. We have played less than ten hours of poker together in our lives.

I play in the “first tier” game and Daniel has in the last couple of years moved up to the second tier.

[/ QUOTE ]

To satisfy my low-roller curiosity, can you explain at what limits these "tiers" lie. Daniel writes semi-frequently about playing the 4K/8K limit game at the Bellagio, which is mixed with NL and PL with a 100K pot cap. I thought this was the biggest game around, no?

Barry,

I second the motion - could you answer the above question out of curiosity? Thanks in advance!

We often play the $4000-$8000 game during big tournaments. Although, Daniel has enough money to play in the game now, he focuses on tournaments, so he doesn't play. That is why he and I have only played in the big game together twice, and for a very short time.

Most of Daniel's high-stakes play is at the next level down. That game ranges from 1000-2000 to 2000-4000, and they only play limit poker. They often play that game in Vegas even when there are no tournaments going on. If I lived in Vegas, I would probably play in the game, but I don't fly in from LA to play in it. It's smaller stakes than I prefer, and I like the no-limit games mixed in.

Barry
