This quite depends. They would be crushed by 2nl regs at 2nl, but would own them at 100NL or play money. Just like micro grinders will be lost at 1kNL, while good play money sharks will bet bet bet and 1k regs will fold, while at 2kNL this won`t work. But 2NL crushers will win solidly at 2kNL for the first few 1000 hands until the regs adapt to their style (variance caveat obviously).

This man has solved the play money/real money equilibrium.

i played a bar poker league freeroll with a $100 prize to the winner and about 50 entrants the other day with some friends

those guys cared way more about the game, and followed the action far, far closer than any live low stakes game i've played

they could also all deal quite well

"Play money players may be just as good as real money players"

Presumably there are a lot of bots tested in play money games

And given some would be better than many fish in low stakes cash: then it seems likely true
