  1. I might lose some friends over this post but I don’t give a rats neck.

    Cash table players have no right being Bodog All-stars.

    Here’s why I feel this way.<SPAN> </SPAN>

    The WSOP Main Event is a Multi Table Tournament not a cash game.<SPAN> </SPAN>Being a full-time Multi Table Tournament player you can play perfect poker for hours, double up multiple times and still not win a single penny.<SPAN> </SPAN>You have to make great reads, fold winners, watch the table, defend blinds, note opponents ..ect.<SPAN> </SPAN>If you make one mistake it’s over.

    At a cash table you can sit down for 5 minutes and double up.<SPAN> </SPAN>That’s great but it’s a different type of poker.<SPAN> </SPAN>The blinds stay the same; people come & go and you can leave the table whenever you want.<SPAN> </SPAN>It has many advantages with the best one being anyone can do it.<SPAN> </SPAN>

    I respect all the Bodog All-Stars cash players, you guys do a good job fattening up your rolls on a nightly basis.<SPAN> </SPAN>But we are talking about a seat to the Main Event.<SPAN> </SPAN>Cash players don’t deserve a change to win a free seat to the Main Event.<SPAN> </SPAN>If you want to win a seat to the WSOP, go play in a 50 handed game like everyone else or buy in with your own money.<SPAN> </SPAN>You cash donkeys don’t stand a chance in hell at the WSOP anyway.<SPAN> </SPAN>

    As a non-All Star, Multi Table Tournament player at bodog, I just want to see legit Multi Table Tournament players win the seats.<SPAN> </SPAN>Because they actually deserve it, they earned it.<SPAN> </SPAN>That’s why I had to say something.<SPAN> </SPAN>Multi Table Tournament players everywhere have to unite. We must defeat the cash donkey menace that stands to shaft four very deserving players from a free shot at a the Main Event.<SPAN> </SPAN>

    Please vote for these five BODOG ALL-STARS

  2. In my opinion you are wrong.

    That is all.
  3. If everyone can do it then why havent I had a losing session in about...oh a month?
     
  4. Sousa,

    First let me say that I am A Bodog nominee and am <span>not </span>a cash game player. I am also competing against these cash game players for votes in the All Star contest and would like to beat them out. I have actually watched a few of them play and they are good players although a few of them have rubbed me the wrong way as far as their character is concerned. That being said I have to disagree that cash game players do not deserve to be in the ME. Some very good cash players have recently made a lot of noise in big live MTTs (i.e.The Takeover - Nick Schulman) . While I do agree that MTT experience is important, there is no way to know how much MTT experience these guys are actually getting. They also may be playing live or on other sites.

  5. Im with you PLAYA! see you around....
  6. Here's a great example.

    Level 1 at the Main Event 2 years ago or even last year. A well known cash player "I don't know his name" picks up aces. He raised it to 1000 chips "level 1". He gets laughed at by farha, nagranheu and a couple others at the table. Farha goes on to call with 33, he flops a set and the cash player is out. Level 1 and the guy has no idea how to play aces.

    Ok maybe this is a great way to make my point, you never saw Larry Bird in a slam dunk contest or Shaq in a 3 point shoot-out. Because they don't belong in the event, it's not what they do.

    Sorry topgun711 I forgot to include you on my list.

    Uh, that guy was Anthony Curtis, a well known BlackJack tournament player, a poker noob.
  9. You might be on to something sousa I consider myself a cash game player and I suck at Mtt's. But I voted for most on your list just for different reasons.
  10. DITTO!
  11. yeah that hand was hilarious. thats the shit you need to deal with at the wsop. good luck
  12. Stuey Ungar was not a great cash player.
  13. mahgnislaw, you play in several mtt's and I consider you more bi-sexual. Playing it both ways is worth a vote in my eyes. Strickly cash table players won't waste a penny playing a mtt without overlay because they know they don't stand a chance.

  14. LOL@ bi-sexual!!!!

    mahg u doggggggg............

    Remember folks, if you haven't already voted, please do so! It is free to vote (60 pts), which will be returned to you upon completion of the contest.

    Lot's of fantastic MTT players in the voting, make sure you cast your vote, lets send a P5er to the ME to represent this strong community.

    Heck, Lou (TopGun711) is offering quite a freeroll to anyone who votes for him and helps him attain the seat with any potential winnings. What's not to like about that??! If you don't happen to be a Bodog member yet, whatcha waiting for?! Great site, amazing tourney structure, some of the friendliest bunch of players around, and..HANDS DOWN, the sickest overlays on tourneys you'll ever see..talk about value! whew.
     
  15. "Strickly cash table players won't waste a penny playing a mtt without overlay because they know they don't stand a chance. "

    actually, this is because it isn't worth their time. the wsop of poker is, however, worth their time, which is why you see many of the big cash players playing.

    i couldn't disagree more with your post.

    tc
  16. he wasnt? no1 in the world wanted to play him in gin rummy....cash

    plus he played highest stakes NL he could find
  17. <SPAN>I'm just saying the Bodog All-Star cash players are awful mtt players. They only show up on sunday for the overlay, if they even show up at all. You will never convince me that a Bodog cash player deserves a chair over a playa like Kevin Blackwood or Ric, for example.<SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN>

    <SPAN> </SPAN>

    <SPAN>I understand that a lot of world-class players can go both ways, "cash and mtt's" and that's great. But this is about average people trying to win a seat to a once in a lifetime event, in some cases. Cash players get more votes because they play high stakes and 60 poker points are no big deal to the people they play against. In mtt's 60 players are tougher to come by. I use my poker points playing in single table games trying to fatten up my tournament credit roll. And I'm sure others do as well, so it's tougher for these guys to get votes. Sacrifice the points and vote these guys in.

    TOPGUN711 I’m sorry about missing you on the list.<SPAN> </SPAN>I made the adjustment.</SPAN><SPAN>
