If thats the case, who is buying pieces of those american players then?
Also is the reason why these guys don't play online mtt anymore is because there isn't that much money online in mtt in terms of high stakes? watched a recent koon video where he said lot of the players who play high rollers don't play online anymore.
Also just curious but if those high roller guys played the medium/high stakes schedule on stars/partypoker etc... would they crush the top online regs at the high/medium stakes online? Say they play the 109s, 215s and 550 dollar buyin tournaments and play a set schedule. But let say its a big prop bet to make it worthwhile for them as these tournaments are probably not even worth it for them.
The other thing im curious about is this. Let say this field had 24 of the high roller players who played in this tournament. Now let say you put 24 of the top online mtt regs at the high stakes/medium stakes on stars/partypoker that can't play in an event like this. Let say they still have to put in a good portion of the buyin to put pressure on them. What would be the odds of those regular high rollers winning it vs an online reg? Now let say you put just 3 of the top online players at the high stakes/medium stakes at mtt on stars/partypoker in this field and make it 27 players instead of 24. Would these players literally get crushed? It seems to be like high stakes mtt players and the high roller players are like a complete different category? Like how much better are these players really vs the top online regs on stars/partypoker? Do those high roller players even play online anymore?
3 or 4 years ago there was another group of germans who grinded these highrollers back in the day. they were supposedly staked by a famous casino owner. another person who stakes some guys(not only germans) in big buy in events is/was a german aswell, but most of you prolly never heard of him.
a year ago a few germans showed up on the scene which i never heard of and started grinding these super highrollers out of the nowhere.
like negreanu said, the pros you see in these kind of tournaments are very hard working players and sure are the best at what they do, thats why these investors put up huge amounts of money to benefit from them. i still think, most of them only play for their ego. percentegewise i can not tell you how much the germans or other staked players have, but daniel, who i assume swims in money (pokerstars wink wink) only put up 400K should give you a rough idea.
