Default Re: Intersting quote from \"The Professer, the Banker, and the Suicide

Does Joe Cassidy play online? He cant be the best if he does. There is only one champ right now and its erik123.

He never gets a game if there arent atleast 2 fish in the game. I have never seen him play HU or 3 handed in years vs competent opponents. Everybody just sit out.

if erik123 was as good as you say he probably would have taken daniel negreanu up on his challenges.

Not true at all. he could have a reasoable edge against DN Negreanu and still not think it's worth it to play for that much $$$ when his edge isn't as large as it is in his regular games. The whole idea of those HU freezeouts is nutty, especially when your opponents get to choose the stakes and what game, i definitly think DN would get eaten up alive if he played a thousand of these, beause he is going to be challenged by specialists in their best games

Why do a $100,000 to $500,000 freeze out where he and Daniel both know Erik is the favorite and Daniel will try to counter that by making the structure one to limit the skill factor as much as possible (and therefore turn it into a six digit coin flip where Erik might have a 52% chance of winning), when he can grind out nice wins at the $100/200 to $300/600 levels online to the tune of a couple mill a year?

I'm with the others that say Erik is that good.
