definatly want a mix of them, but i want medium-strong players to play against. in a tourny i'll take all fish and sit back and watch them knock each other out, and take down big pots with my monster hands.

i prefer to have a mix

i dont know why you guys would want to have so many fish in a tourny so badly... look at all the pros that get screwed over by the fish in the wsop... its not because some new player takes them to school, its because these people call with gutshots and ace draws and hit them every once in a while, and that 1 time the pro goes broke.

Default hey


alot of the pro's went broke because they thought they where so much better then the internet guys and tried to outplay them with so-so hands. Not saying all the internet guys where great but they made it there by beating a large field to get there and they deserved to sit there as much as the pro's!!!! Now for the scrubs that never play poker but had a extra 10k sitting in between the couch cushions they didnt deserve it.

I also prefer to have a mix, it would suck to play against all pro's, but maybe that's becuase I'm not that great.

it wasnt just pros overplaying their hands against inexperienced players... the newbies screwed the pros more than the pros screwed themselves.... remember how that one jackass kept betting into sam farha onto to catch a pair at the end and practically break sammy's tourney? and that other jerkoff that raised helmouth 5k with queen high and hit a queen on the turn? shit like that happened thousands of times every day of the wsop, mostly to pros who get their money in with the best hand and get screwed on the river. you rarely see a pro coming from behind to win a hand for all their chips, because they know to avoid situations like that

Talking What?!?!?!



your crazy dont you remember chris furgeson hitting runner king that saved him against pocket aces?!?! the pros had just as many lucky breaks as the amatures did now by no way am I saying the amatures are as good as the pro's but come on. And the amatures where trying to bluff the pot when they raised with nothing they just wernt good at it like betting 1/10 of the pot he even said at the end of hand he was trying to and Sammy told him something like his tells gave him away which he couldnt do nothing about it was like his 1st live tornament. The amatures that made it in obviously know how to play or wouldnt of won there invitation and dont tell me it was luck because you cant be all luck to win a satalite. Sure you won some races but no one wins with all luck even the pros agree with that. Only thing the pro's had against them is they had alot more peopler in pots where they where because everyone wants to beat a pro. And as for screwing over man its poker your gonna have bad beats it happens you learn to live with it and go onto the next hand all pros have learned that except for Phil Hellmuth of course because as phil says if there wernt luck involved he would win every one
