Name Pros/Cash games they play in?

[random]

All Vietnamese words are one syllable. I say "new-in" just so people know it starts with an 'n', but "win" is more correct.

It's like Flounder coming up to the frat guys saying "hey guys, playing cards?"

To answer the original question....

To the best of my knowledge, the "big game" pros are Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, Chau Giang, Ivey, Jenn Harman, Dave Oppenheim, Barry Greenstein, and a few others. I think Lyle Berman might be one, too. Back when he was still playing poker, Danny N would play there too.

I know that must be an incomplete list.

All of them are also big winners at the big game. Hmm.

Well they all feed off of whales that come and play poker hoping to increase their already huge funds. The price to play in the big game is like 1/100 of a small blind an hour, so they just wait and pass money around until a whale comes and they all feed off him/her.

It's funny how everyone says they feed off the "whales" that come to play with them. I usually take 2 trips to vegas a year for 2-3 weeks each trip usually in conjuction with the 5 diamond and the wpt championship. I'm yet to see someone playing in the game that hasn't been recognizable. Although some of the players I'd have to suspect as being the "whales" in that game would be Gus Hanson, Jonny Chan, possibly Minh Ly (not sure on what his deal is but saw him playing a lot of shorthanded against Chip, Doyle, Phil, Barry G), Sam Farha, and Lyle Berman. I've never seen David Oppenheim playing in the "big game" as someone listed, I believe I've seen him usually playing between 400-800 and 1k-2k. Of the 5 players I've listed I'm sure 4 of them are good contributors to the game and I'm sure there are a few more well knowns that are loser in that game.

When i wrote this, I wasnt really looking for a list of the big game players. I was looking for what cash game stakes the big name tournament players usually play in. Stakes and the type of poker they play. I guess it was cool getting a full list of the big game players but thats not what i was really looking for. Sorry if my origanal post wasnt clear.
