delphi12 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I dont know where Jamie plays $25-$50 NL in LA because I always see him at the 2/5 and 5/10 tables at Hustler and Hollywood Park. Though he did say he plays now at the Commerce, I see him all the time at Hustler - he's propping himself up a bit much more I think since he's in the lead. Link to post Share on other sites

Dratj 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I noticed that most of these guys play pretty high stakes normally. It would be funny if I were at the final table. "Alex plays $26 dollar tournaments and 1-2 nl games sometimes" where everybody else is playing at least 25-50 nl. Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that there are about 200 norwegians that are pros, my guess is that you havent heard about a single one of them. You can be a pro witjout being on ESPN or sell thousands of books you know. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 i'm a "pro" poker player, and the highest I play is 3/6 LHE. In other words, being a "pro" doesn't mean anything, except that you don't have another job. Link to post Share on other sites
