<DWarrior-> I gotcha
<Joenin> all smooth sailing now ;p
<DWarrior-> what was the heads-up game that lasted months?
<DWarrior-> johny moss vs. somebody
<malice-> lol ouch.. 3 people go all in.. KK vs QQ vs QQ
<YYZ> nick the Greek
<malice-> so much for hitting a set
<DWarrior-> right
<YYZ> (unpronaounceable last name)
<DWarrior-> yyz: what were the stakes?
<SkaarjPK> malice: what if there is a Q on the floP?
<DWarrior-> back in the day didn't they play really, really deep?
<malice-> ...
<malice-> given that all 4 queens were in dealt hands
<malice-> that would be difficult
<SkaarjPK> I want to see that one day
<YYZ> they had like over 1 or 200k each on the table at any time
<DWarrior-> yyz: what blinds though
<Joenin> keep in mind
<Joenin> that **** was in the 60's
<DWarrior-> 200k w/ 25/50 blinds?
<SkaarjPK> QQ is so bad luck to Jennifer Harman
<Joenin> or abouts then
<Joenin> too
<Joenin> so 200k then
<Joenin> was a hell of a lot more
<Joenin> then it is now
<DWarrior-> joenin: yep
<YYZ> who knows, depends on the game, they were prolly playing 5 card stud mostly
<Joenin> picture new car then was liek 5k
<pb2x> the biggest game here is 25/50 25 on the button
<DWarrior-> when the wsop started, us was in a recession
<pb2x> it's ****ing nuts
<pb2x> 100 a round in blinds
<Joenin> specially in a nl game
<DWarrior-> In the summer of 1949, veteran gambler Nicholas "Nick the Greek" Dandolos came to Benny Binion, future owner of the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, with a request.The Greek wanted to challenge the best poker players to a high-stakes marathon of poker. Binion agreed on the stipulation that the game be played in public view. This first "tournament" consisted of Nick the Greek and the legendary Johnny Moss and lasted five months with breaks only
<DWarrior-> 1949, the guy lost 2 million dollars
<YYZ> Ive read about Old West games where the stakes, adjusted to inflation, would dwarf big games played today
<sickly> DWarrior- you got a link to that story?
<DWarrior-> http://www.smrt-tv.com/v1-07/feature_poker.html
<DWarrior-> it's about half way down
<sickly> thanks
<DWarrior-> yyz: if you adjust for inflation
<DWarrior-> 10k wsop in 1971 is like 34k now
<DWarrior-> I checked
<pb2x> I like man vs. Vegas
<pb2x> I could watch taht show all day
<YYZ> ive read of guys in the Old West playing for hundreds of thousands of dolars, equal to tens of millions today
<DWarrior-> yeah
<DWarrior-> well
<DWarrior-> have you heard about the 40 million game?
<DWarrior-> that's what it was back then
<Joenin> gotta figure too
<DWarrior-> it's just that now there are a ****load of "middle" games
<pb2x> 40000 80000 wasn't it?
<YYZ> ive Seen Todd Brundon playin Andy Beal heads up at the Bellagio
<Joenin> it was a different social climate back then
<DWarrior-> but the really huge games don't come together often
<DWarrior-> yeah
<Joenin> with people out west
<DWarrior-> pb: yep
<Joenin> making quick money
<DWarrior-> yeah
<Joenin> and having nothing to spend it on but gambling/booze
<pb2x> the dude is always writing in to the magazines trying to get them to play him again
<pb2x> joenis *****s
<pb2x> lots of *****s
<Joenin> those too
<Joenin> pb- they played from 20/40k to 100k/200k iirc
<Joenin> think that was top they played
<Joenin> and they only did it for one session
<YYZ> none of the big players will play Beal unless they can scam the game
<Joenin> then doyle and all of them were like **** that
<Joenin> i think its more an issue
<Joenin> that they don't need to play beal
<Joenin> they can make lots of cash elseware
<DWarrior-> lol
<Joenin> without having to risk there livellyhoods
<DWarrior-> yeah, lol
<DWarrior-> he's kinda gay though
<YYZ> oh, they'd love to play Beal, at their place, run by their friends, with their dealers
<DWarrior-> "I can beat the best in the world, but I"ll only play 40 mill"
<DWarrior-> it's like
<pb2x> http://i5.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/4e/09/67_3.JPG?set_id=100D
<pb2x> buying that this week
<DWarrior-> I'll challenge anyone here heads-up, but we have to play $100,000NL :D
<Joenin> yyz- beal scanned hard for cheating
<Joenin> and was always very throurough with it
<pb2x> not hard enough though
<pb2x> they were all in it together
<Joenin> and according to all quotes by him
<Joenin> he feals he was never cheated
<DWarrior-> yeah, I read
<DWarrior-> he had hardcore security
<DWarrior-> all the money were handled by the casinos
<DWarrior-> there was no cash
<Joenin> and think when they were negotiating to play in texas
<DWarrior-> he hired dealers
<DWarrior-> cards were switched often
<Joenin> they offered to let beal provide the setup
<DWarrior-> yeah
<DWarrior-> and it was heads up
<DWarrior-> they couldn't collude against him
<DWarrior-> they could only share tells
<YYZ> of course Beal wants to play heads-up, not against a group, what's that tell you about scamming?
<Joenin> according to him
<Joenin> he likes hu more
<Joenin> cause hes an action junky
<DWarrior-> yeah, that's the whole thing with him
<DWarrior-> he's just a rich guy looking for high action
<Joenin> you really think
<Joenin> someone as smart as him
<Joenin> that ran rocket companies and banks
<Joenin> and in his spare time got math theorumns named after him
<Joenin> would be stupid enough
<Joenin> to play for that much cash
<DWarrior-> lol
<Joenin> while hes getting cheated
<DWarrior-> pb: bike racing?
<DWarrior-> it takes like one slip to break your bones
<DWarrior-> -ev
<pb2x> yeah i've broken 13 in 20 years of racing
<DWarrior-> lol
<DWarrior-> that bike is only 2500???
<pb2x> no
<pb2x> that bikes around 5500
<DWarrior-> ah
<DWarrior-> and...do you seriously drive a bike in winter?
<pb2x> but i'm waiting on the 2500 to sell it
