Have anyone ran across the thought that high stakes poker might a bluff? That it is set up by the poker room and the money at the tables belong to the poker room? In Exchange the players get a fixed amount of money (alot less than what is at the tables) and exposure playing big live tournaments? All to lure Young guys in to playing poker. "If they can do it, why cant i?". The guys playing the high stakes are all cool, decent looking guys who seem to care alot about their image, which strengthens the thesis.

And by high stakes i mean 200/400.

I didn't mean that the tables are closed, just that the regs are playing play money.

it's pretty obvious, that everyone, who don't see that high stakes poker is a bluff, must be shill or chat bot. like all the so called 'poker-pros' around here. jungledan, coleman, EZ|Rider ... you should keep digging.

besides that, i would advise you, not to use 2+2 as a platform. too many shills, too many 'pros' ... gL
