Rasputin 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Should Andy Beal return to the biggest game,who do you think he should be facing out of the following line up of professionals and wannabes (max of 7 players).

bcook823 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The point was for Andy Beal to play against the best players in the world. There are several people on your list he has never heard of.neverwin-he would never get a shot to play The grinder-they are playing heads up limit holdem not tournamentsdreamclown-they aren't playing onlineeskimo-no chancethe magician-again they dont play tournamentsmimi-pleaseIts not about Howard letting anyone in, its about Doyle. now i am off to shoot myself in the face for responding to this Link to post Share on other sites

Also, antonio plays lots of cash games and considers himself a cash game player first, probably not limit cash games I dont think though...again jsut saying. Mimi tran is a really good limit player, so just dismissing her aside because you know nothing about her is ignorant. I dont think it's that worthless of a thread, it's the general poker forum, it's a general what if poker question, settle down people. Some people are looking for excuses to get pissed and say the forum sucks, and I will admit i was earlier. If you don't like the thread don't respond it's simple as that. OP I like this post, it's an interesting question. Link to post Share on other sites

bcook823 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Ok Antonio does play cash games, but would never be in this game and you know it. Neverwin would be perfect for the group, but I was just saying they wouldn't ask him (or let him)Mimi, your right I should not have dismissed her with one word. I am not ignorant though, so chill out with the name calling big fella. mimi is a fine limit holdem player, but she would not be included in such a game. Link to post Share on other sites

bcook823 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I will even say that even though Doyle may facilitate such an undertaking, he wouldn't be on my list either. I would add Phil Ivey, Joe Cassidy, and David Oppenhiem but not sure who I would take out. Doyle, Chip, and Barry didn't do so well the first time out so maybe they would be out. That sounds so bad Doyle, Chip, and Barry wouldn't be in.Howard? He did so well last time, but I wonder if he is still on his game? Link to post Share on other sites

I personally think he will. He seems like a VERY competitive person, and he knows that he can do it. It wouldn't surprize me, if he had a little more restrictions next time, on how long they could play for. That was the part that seemed to let him down, all the other players could play for alot longer, and he was overrun when he got tired. He wants to prove it can be done, and i don't think he has done that yet. Link to post Share on other sites
bcook823 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 i think he will play again, wouldn't be surprised if it were soon. Location seems to be an issue with him. Link to post Share on other sites
emineric 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 the young guys, the neverwins, dreamclowns, erik123's and cassidy's of the world should start their own corporation if andy beal really wants to play the best HU holdem players in the world. johnny chan, doyle brunson, barry greenstein and others aren't limit holdem specialists. andy beating some of doyle's corp really doesn't prove much. the whole thing was blown way out of proportion because the stakes were so high. i honestly don't care if beal plays them again. i'm more interested in when DN will cry uncle in these online HU matches.

Alex916F 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I think that Andy Beal should come back and take on the pro's again. They probably have so much money that the stakes that Andy would want to play wouldn't scare that much. And if you read at the end of the book they talked about having a rematch where it was filmed, the winner gets the money and the loser gets the film rights. Andy said if he lost he wouldn't broadcast the video and he thought that more ppl would tune in to see an amateur take down the pro's for a lof of money.my picks:Todd BrunsonTedd ForestHoward LedererJen HarmonmaybeChau Giang.... and the pros would never let Neverwin in on the action.
