Have any of you ever got the chance to play with a Poker Pro? I was lucky enough back in the day when us US players could play any site to play with Phil Ivey. It was at FullTilt and was in a SNG believe that or not. I loved that site for lots of reasons and one was because we got the chance to play with the pros and to watch them play if not.

I played against Kenny Tran in a knockout tournament on Full Tilt back in the day. I got lucky enough to be the one to knock him out, too. I can't remember what the bounty was but it was a good experience all around. I got to see several rounds of play with him. :)

Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer. Both were good experiences in different ways. Greg was more quiet and just played the game. Gave everyone the chance to really play against a pro. Chris was so happy to talk to everyone and talk about his story and different tips after the game. He was very approachable and friendly!

Hi.
About two years ago, I played poker tournaments with members of the PokersStars team. In these tournaments, for the knockout of a member of the pokerstars team, a reward of $ 500 was foreseen. But unfortunately, I did not succeed in knocking out anyone.

I have sat at live tables against Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, Dennis Philips, Norm Chad and Vanessa Rousso. Online I have played against Mike Matusow and Phil Gordon. Live Greg and Chris are very talkative and i learned a lot by listening to them. Phil talks about Phil most of the time. Vanessa likes to mess with peoples heads and I loved to watch her work the table. Dennis was like talking to a friend. Norm Chad was funny. I didnt like Antonio much it was a charity tourney and he seemed like he just wanted to get it over. Online Mike wasnt very talkative and Phil was very nice, talked to everyone and I told him later when I met him I thought he was a real class act. I probably played with more but those are the ones I remembered.

Answer also the question of the limits to which you usually play. What do you often meet poker stars at your tables.
If I played with someone at the poker star tables, it was charity tournaments, or where they gave awards for stars, and they were required to play there.
I do not understand what kind of experience a single game against a poker star can give. One game does not solve anything at all and teaches nothing, this is my opinion.
It is quite another thing, if it happens live, I would like that.

I've played online with Spraggy and Arlie Shaban. Mostly in freerolls organized by PokerStars :)

I have still a chance to cross paths with a pro at some cloth but it would be a great experience

Unfortunately, I will not be there until one day.
