Deal with the 4k/8k game?

[tbach24]

Just watched the Greenstein cardplayer articles and he mentions that the 4k/8k game they play is a private game. How do they make money if this is true?

Like in any poker game, the better players make money from the worse players.

[benneh]

uhm, in the video he says the big game is open to anybody, and theres always a seat open

i'm guessing random rich fish (kinda like andy beal, but probably not that much GAMBOOOL in them, i guess) or recent tourney winners is where the new money comes from, instead of the money being recycled over and over between the regulars.

also remember that they do a lot of their playing outside of the bellagio when its not the wsop.

When they are in other casinos, they sometimes play with $1 chips, agreeing to pay back whatever is won. I assume this presents problems when an unknown or little known player wants to join.

I assume so, since I think the lowest blinds used are 1k/2k for the no limit games.

Nope, each chip is still only worth a dollar. The pile of chips in front of each them just gets downright silly. That's why Danny N. doesn't play in the Big Game -- he knows that if his chip stack collapsed and fell onto his puny little frame, he'd be crippled for life.
