Message: [QUOTE="drizzt, post: 587194, member: 23002"] pro's make a lot of money in thoes tournaments you never hear about, between pro's. Pros vs. novices in big tournaments end up bad for the pro's in my opinion because novices make bad moves. 'When a pro knows they made a mistake and trys to max out the money from that mistake (which is how money's made in poker) the novice get's lucky. I know when I play people who rarely ever play poker and take it very lightly, its hard because you may not give them pot odds, you might play like you have the flush, or you might play two pair hard (when you should) but those donkies (as their called here it seems) still go in and get lucky or bust your really good bluff because they dont notice what's really happening or think about the whole picture. Plus a pro probably finds it hard to beat out a novice on a hot card streak because, as many people on here know, the first step towards getting good at this game is knowing when to lay down AK or good hands like it. A novice will hang on, and sometimes gets lucky because of it, thus a pro really can't force a novice off what he thinks is a good starting hand even post-flop, which could be anything from AA to A-rag offsuit! I think, no no i KNOW, a pro could beat me consistently, or 99 times out of 100, but I know every now and then I'd win 1 just based on luck. Pro's just know how to play you, and only lucky cards can bail you out I think until you get to a certain skill level. And if I ever won once against a pro in a tournament, i'd call it a lucky break and hope to hell i'd never face them in a tournament again! In WSOP there are always a looooooot of new players, and it's like pro's or even just good players are running through a mine field to get to the final table, or hell even just the money cut. All it takes is one or more novices to make a stupid mistake that luck rewards with a big hit, and to me that's my kryptonite. I go on tilt fast and hard when a player i know is playing wrong gets rewarded to my expense due to luck [/QUOTE]
