HubDub04 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm having a little bit of a debate with my buddy on the "tv" pros that are playing 10k and up MTT WSOP and WPT tournaments with someone else's money.I have heard that many winning players have staked tons of good but "on a losing streak" players in the big games because they went busto. Now I know Bax and Sheets roll Saul and BdBeatslayer etc. But do they stake them in 10k buyin live events?Any insight into this would be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites
silkyjonson 1 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 what other type of events would you think they would be staking them for? Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I wouldn't be suprised... a $10,000 buy in is still a large amount even for successful internet players. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also fairly sure I heard that on an interview posted to YouTube so check there for his PokerWire interivews and you might find proof. Link to post Share on other sites

babylondonks 5 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think that's O's instead of 0's or whatever. I've seen a Belowabove playing low stakes Stud8 before and isn't the MTT extraordinaire Link to post Share on other sites

mase_gotsem 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 id have to say more likely i dont think half the internet pros have 100% of them selves very often gets pretty pricey on those cold streaks Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Does Johnny Bax have an unlimited supply of cash or something?It sure seems that way. I think him and sheets stake a ton of the internet players in these 10ks. Link to post Share on other sites
XTraCey 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Who cares? Stop posting that second time ive seen it from you a_ss you dont like it dont posthate to say it, but i'm gonna have to agree with showstopper on this one tanner - except i'll be a lot politer about it.Is it really anyone's business? No. Does it really matter, if, hypothetically speaking, it were everyone's business? No.and besides, I'm pretty sure this isn't the kind of topic that Kevin openly discusses in public forums, nor would he appreciate it. try asking Kevin himself if ur really dying to know this irrelevant type of info - and this isnt 'me' making an educated guess either, cuz im positive he'd shake his head at this sort of thing.=/ Link to post Share on other sites

Czech Razor 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 he isnt belowabove on ftp if thats what its from, his chat is permabanned on stars i believe.Right. I think they reinstate his chat during Final Tables if/when he asks on PStars. And he's GET_PWN3D on FTP. Link to post Share on other sites
