High Stakes Online Poker Rivalries at PokerRoom.com
Category: Poker
It has seemed that for some time, high stakes online poker players are very cordial with one another and would prefer to listen to one anothers strategies about the game than develop any fierce rivalries. I do not know all these players personally of course, so perhaps I am wrong, but it would certainly appear from interviews given and talking at the tables, that most of these players are friendly enough.
The greatest minds in high stakes poker often seem to become close friends, and in some ways you can see why this would be beneficial. As I mentioned earlier, sharing tactics and past poker hands would certainly be something you would expect such poker players to discuss with each other, and this all helps the development of poker skills I feel.
Recently though, there has been some perceived animosity from one particular player online, who has been seen making numerous comments in chat whilst playing high stakes cash games. Rumour has it, that this player might take up Tom Dwans online $1.5 million challenge, and you could say that this provides some much needed fire to the online high stakes scene. I have to admit it will certainly make interesting viewing.
Having said that, I personally feel that being polite and behaving with the utmost decency at the poker tables is an aspect of the game we should look to preserve.
Rivalry is a good thing in my opinion, but only if the players conduct their duels with integrity, and respect for one another.
