Internet Players in Live events.

I wouldn't doubt it . He made some really bad calls and got very lucky on the river. Look at his success since, he's a one hit wonder and it will just be a matter of time till he's broke.

i would suggest that coming in second in the Bay 101 WPT event qualifies him as not just a one hit wonder. im not among the people who think he is a spectacular player, but he has done ok since the 03 WSOP.

he also took 3rd in a pot limit tournament in august in tunica

thats a negative... hes a pretty good tournament player, only because he mixes up his play so randomly that no one can put him on anything. After winning in 2003 his poker self-esteem went WAY up, and now he has the confidence to play great even against the top players in the world.

Yea, just because he didn't do so hot at this years WSOP doesn't mean he's a one hit wonder.

yeah look at how many great players got knocked out early... helmouth, ivey, chan... you dont think theyre one hit wonders too, do you?

Harrington didn't get knocked out early, he is the man!

I think playing the majority of your poker behind a computer screen doesn't quite prepare you for the B&M experience.

All your tells are hidden online. Offline, live play veterans will see right through your bluffs and know when you have a great hand.

Online play teaches you very quickly about betting patterns and how they relate to hand strength, but picking up others and hiding your own tells will only come with hours of B&M play.

Well, I don't really see how a pro could tell if I was bluffing or not if I was the same way every time. I think the best way around giving off any tells is to first wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and also to bet and then simply look down at the ground with your arms at your sides. Tell me how someone will get a tell from that?

I would be perfect live.. I am too stupid to know if I have a good hand, so I would give off Monster Hand Tells when I had TPTK and everyone would fold!

I just went and played live for the first time in Vegas. I did so much research on table etiquette. I can't imagine what I'd do if I were to play in a WPT event or some such thing. Not that I pretend to be good enough right now, but it would intimidate the hell out of me.

Did Moneymaker place 2nd in a WPT event that will be televised this coming season? If not did I miss it? when will it air again?
