There's some Germans who might disagree.

I think the reason why a lot these great online guys jump into bigger games and seem to do fine (in tourneys, cash games take more work imo) is because they have there strategy mastered. If you are confident that you are making the right play you'll be less nervous. I would think most of these guys have played live and while they may not perfect in this avenue. The overwhelming experience they have in certain spots should make up for that quite a bit.

Plz tell me the name of one pro who you think is playing for more than 20% of himself ?

given huge rake and tough field, im pretty sure that noone in there can actually have better than break-even-ish ev in the tournament, they are mostly playing for added value of being famous/sponsored.

And, obv, if anyone could have an edge in this tournament, it would be the germans.

There is a market on Betfair for this event if anyone's interested

Go (betfair.com) All Sports>Poker>One Drop. Only £3,500 matched on it, but might be interesting to watch and follow.
Also 2 bookmakers have odds http://www.oddschecker.com/poker/all...ne-drop/winner

How is John Morgan 40/1 when Doyle, mizrahi bros, shulman, glantz, and mortonson are 100/1? Maybe none of those guys are playing I guess

Even so, why does he do everything by proxy? He has all of these tales of poker achievements but he never actually does anything in public.
