Play against a Pro

#1 November 6th, 2018, 12:22 AM

Today I had the experience of playing against IgorKurganov at Poker in The Ears, it was a good and rewarding experience.

I was able to make plays that made it difficult to read it, I almost lost it QAs x QAx

Being QAs my hand.

Tell about your experiences versus the Pro's

That's so cool that you got to play against Igor! I have not yet had the pleasure of playing against a pro live or online, but I hope to have this experience soon! One of the reasons why I love poker so much is that any amateur has the opportunity to compete with the pros, unlike every other sport! I hope to one day be seated at a table with Phil Hellmuth and witness him go on mega tilt in person Play against a Pro

Just like in any sport you have to play opponents that are better than you to become better.

In poker particularly you can see plays that you would not have thought of making.

Imitation can be a very good learning tool.

Good luck !

I have not played with professional players at the table, but I would really like to play with a professional and gain experience and see how he plays with me at the table!

I've never had any experience against pros or online tables. But I would like a day to play against to see what the sensation!

Played against Bogski he was pretty cool on ACR.

i had once a pokerstars pro player at the same table with me on a tournament , well we never engaged beyond the flop against each other so i dont think it does count ^^

#9 November 7th, 2018, 6:43 AM

playing with a pro is something i really want to do, good for you and your experience

#10 November 7th, 2018, 9:41 AM

Still it does kinda count you got to observe how they played hands even if you wasn�t playing in them I�d love to play against a pro but I have some way to go yet

a lot of them do stream on twitch and play , and they explain some plays why they did it , you can learn a lot from it and you see how they play )

The formula is simple: playing against worse players you win, playing against players like you, you tie and playing against better players than you, YOU LOSE! If you want to improve your game, the worst way is playing against pro's.

I couldn't remember what I had when I bluffed Johnny Chan. Oh, that was a movie.

#16 November 13th, 2018, 5:51 PM

Thats fun, wish it happened more often. In the way olden days pros used to sit at the micro cash tables on FullTilt....it was a ton of fun and really drove people to the tables.

I played with Lex Veldhuis on some 11$ tournament but I wouldn't say I learned a lot or had a great experience.

#18 December 9th, 2018, 8:55 PM

It must be a great sensation to play against a Pro, i would love that!
As we have some Pros on the forum, could we make some tournament with them, like some kind of bounty holdem? With a nice prize? Just a sugestion

#19 December 29th, 2018, 8:28 AM

I have played many times against pro players but only on their HomeGames

#20 December 29th, 2018, 11:09 AM

For me it would be a very big experience. But why do you want the pro to tilt you? My dream is to win against the pros.

You could be playing vs pros everyday online and not even know it.

#22 October 16th, 2019, 9:54 PM

the only pro with whom I would like to play is Tom Dwan

#23 October 16th, 2019, 10:31 PM

If I played against the pros, I probably would have depression, fear of playing poker, self-doubt, a lot of psychological problems.

#24 October 17th, 2019, 12:04 AM

In my dreams, I crush Tony G and then proceed to sh*t in his mouth.

#25 October 17th, 2019, 12:12 AM

You must be in a hurry to lose your money playing against pro's ,I liken it to my buddies and I play hockey and were alright untill you line us up to real players and you find out real quick why there pro's and were not,thanks but I'll keep my cash,also any pro you play in micro stakes could care less if they win or lose there just bangin around not playing there A game for sure likely doing it out of obligations not because they want to

I played against Mike the mouth and Allen Cunningham at ftp about 12 years ago

I was playing 5/10 NL against the mouth after running up my $200 starting bankroll to around $13,000. The only memorable hand i had, was pretty big.

I had aces preflop to mikes kings. I forgot the preflop action, but Mike said in the chat Aces? He knew what i had, we got it all in pre, for $2,000.
