Sbrugby Bet With Barry Greenstein


Recommended Posts

I just read Brian Townsend's new blog (link at bottom) where he mentions a bet he has with Barry Greenstein, which basically boils down who's better at live nlhe tourney's: online players or live players? Townsend crossbooked 10% of Zeejustin and Imper1um with Barry for the Legends WPT event next month. I think a better bet would have been to choose teams of players, 10 sounds like a good number, and see how well they perform over a certain period of time, a year for example. So who would you pick to be on your team? You can take either side. I'll go firstOnline pro's (in no particular order)1. JC2. Zeejustin3. Waco4. gigabet5. Imper1um6. Tmay7.

What specifically would this entail in your bet? I think it is significant. Total cashes, total money won, highest finish, highest average finish, most wins, etc?

From the two lists you gave I'd take the live pros and I don't think it's that close. Some of those online players are monsters, but they haven't all proven it at 1k+ buyins and in the live circuit. If they were playing online MTTs I'd give a huge advantage to the online players.Edit: That being said I think Sbrugby has the edge in his bet, Imperium and ZeeJustin are monsters.

Yeah, I don't know what you could use...I guess some type of point system

dude, your live pro list sorta sucks.
those are just the players he likes, not the ones he truly thinks are the best. People should say these things but they don't.

I don't know why people add players like DN and Ivey to these lists. Do you think they honestly give a half a **** about winning tournaments that consistently when it's ONLY NL Holdem? There are so many live NLH players that consistently play strong in tournaments settings that I think would be WAY better choices.Maybe it's just me though
