Just to throw a question out there. When people say to me "how can you pick large potentially successful large MTT winners by means of testing people in 25c50c cash?" they often use the expression "chalk and cheese" and point out that the two disciplines are not the same. Tighty mentions it here, but he is far from the first person to raise the issue.
The implication here is that it is impossible for an individual to both be capable of playing small stakes multi-table cash online, and to succeed in large multi table tournaments.
Firstly I'd like to ask people if they believe that to be true?
I can honestly say that it wasn't something I really thought of as a problem when I came up with this crackpot scheme. I honestly believe, (maybe dangerously close to agreeing with Flushy twice in a week), that good players just adapt. The 50 guys who we picked for The Grading have certainly produced plenty who are intelligent and talented enough to be capable of doing both.

I think it's as good a system as any.
With ~500 table hours of cash or whatever it is, the cream will get a chance to rise to the top.
The criticism that someone who can crush online cash might not be able to do well in live donkmaents is pretty weak.

Given the high standard of online cash games these days, even at a level of $0.25/0.50, if a player is intelligent enough to beat the game consistently, then I genuinely believe that they are capable, or have the potential to be good at tournament poker. All it takes is adaption and a willingness to improve.

Perhaps it's not the most ideal system, but if everyone were playing online MTTs instead, it would be too swingy and probably produce less reliable results.
A good player is a good player and can probably adapt to any poker situation for the most part, given time to learn...

A blind man would probably struggle to cross the Motorway if there was moderate traffic. 38 blind men would also struggle to cross the motorway together if there was moderate traffic. 12 men with decent eyesight maybe able to help the 38 blind men cross the motorway but at the end of the day, they wont be able to give them sight

I think the guy's with the decent eyesight should be steering the blind ones away from the motorway traffic altogether.

So, basically, what you're saying is if you're crap, you're crap.

Of course not, but even with the best training and coaching possible, id still back the man who has good vision to the blind man when it comes to crossing a motorway.
