hello,
as i was waiting for my tournament at pokerstars i searched for some pro´s to watch their game and found 1 playing limit holdem at the 0,10/0,20 table (and only 1 table!) never thought that pro´s go fishing in these levels

I guess they are doing it for fun, when they are bored. I have seen durrrr playing at 10cent/25cent tables, no not playing, he was tilting. He went all-in in every hand.
I think their contract with PS stipulates that they should play some micro limits to keep people interested... That's how I once got to play against Barry Greenstein
Hope not fo find him at my table. They probably like to have fun playing with fishes like me and I'm sure winning in any case. Nothing to lose all to earn
Don't worry. They don't really need your money. Pros when at micro limits usually play by the book and are not really hard to play against. Unless you somehow piss them off.
He was. But AFAIK he stopped this project. At a certain point his blog announced that his mother was ill and he will continue this project later. He didn't get back to it yet. Chris Fergusson fulfilled this challenge on Full Tilt.
Yep it's in their contracts to please fans who can't afford to play medium or high stakes... and it's good as you can learn a lot by playing against them...
True. I wish only that they played their normal game at micro limits. Appears they don't, cause they are not motivated. And when they play by the book, you don't really learn anything from them.

your right they play in low limits if the poker room have a contract to him to play in low limits but sometimes the pros play just for fun

i think this is just marketing. Normally you find them playing sometimes, but always players of the "house". It's just a strategy to call you to higher levels.

I guess it must be in their contracts to play at low stakes, they must be having fun at low stakes playing with all the donks, lol or they could play allin fold there and have fun. Hope to bump into some pro some day.
