So I have only played against Doug Polk online HOWEVER (and this was a few years ago) when I first signed up to pokerstars, they had an offer to give you 7 free 1$ tickets to their spin and win game. On my 7th ticket, I kid you not I rolled the 3K USD game (3600 CAD which I am in canada), which at the time was the highest. I ended up with only 500 out of 4500 chips, BUT came back and actually won the game.So far I've played with three pros. Scotty Nuguyen, Evan Jarvis and Phil McPhee. These were all online game! And I took took down the McPhee tournament.

Yes, I remember "Doyle's Room" and playing in those weekly bounty tournaments. I don't know when you wrote this post, but I believe it was 16 years ago, according to my records, from my perspective. You brought back some old, fond memories. On average, I believe many of the on-line players today are more sophisticated than they were back then. What do you think?Back in the day at "Doyle's Room" they had a weekly bounty tournament which featured 6 of his friends, all pros btw, w/$500 on each of their heads. It was pretty cool. This was about 12-13 yrs ago. I remember playing at a table w/Annette Obrestad and Todd Brunson. It was alright but they wouldn't reciprocate any chatter which led me to believe that, perhaps, it wasn't exactly them at the table. The game was held in the middle of the week on a Tuesday or Wednesday so I questioned it's integrity. I never saw Doyle at any of the tables but it still was fun to think he might show up one week.
I've played against some professionals, I'm just not going to name names because the list would be long, all of them here from Cardaschat, I say that because to reach a final table I have to sweat. Now I leave a question in the air, would your name be on this list?So far I've played with three pros. Scotty Nuguyen, Evan Jarvis and Phil McPhee. These were all online game!
