When you see a poker pro play in a low buy-in, do you think they are hurting $$$$?

CHOPTALK · Mar 11, 2008

Im playing scott fischman right now in a $24 buyin event.
You would think for someone that has been in 10k buy-in events he must be hurting in the bankroll department.

Chop? Do you work a regular Job?? Just curious man and good luck in the tourney

usually if they are paid by full tilt or pokerstars they play low limits to attract more players and draw business to these sites.

I think they get sponsors to pay for that a lot of the times ,but I could be wrong.

Full tilt not PS.

My guess is it is part of his deal with the site to play some of these, however I do believe he said in his book that he goes down levels to try new strategies sometimes.

maybe its a buddy of his playing on his account.

CHOPTALK · Mar 11, 2008

tourney#42572815 at Fulltilt.

Its a $24 knockout 90 player tourney.
He is in it.

just because a player is in a lower stakes game, doesnt mean he isnt a good player. ive been in hundreds of games 20-30$sngs where i thought the play was better than in some of the 100-200$ games. seems to me that the 20 bucks means a lot more than the 200 does to some. if that makes any sense at all

makes sense, tighter play in many ways. People don't lose chips as often on "moves" . I don't think that necessarily makes them better though, but I get what you are saying.

fullt tilt pros are required to play a certain anount of tournaments and cash games.

CHOPTALK · Mar 11, 2008

Hopefully yours trully can knock him out personally.

He is doing pretty decent right now.

I have to get to his table 1st.
Should not be too hard. Its only a 90 player tourney.

honkee · Mar 11, 2008

Nah theres alot of ftp pros that play lower $$ tourneys. In fact i saw a couple playing a tourney worth 2000 ftp points the other day, now thats a "things that make you go hmmm".

Yes, but I thought Scott was paid by PokerStars.

If im not mistaken too if you knock out a pro you get your entry fee back as well, whats your name on FT chop

You will know if he is a fulltilt pro if his name is in red on the lobby page.

I have knocked pros out of the Sunday tournament at fulltilt and they refunded my $216 entry fee
