The battle of New School and Old School is always a trendy storyline in poker and that generation gap was tackled in the “Nets vs. Vets” cash game episodes of Poker After Dark.

The Season 5 offering matches up players of differing skill sets and ages as internet wunderkinds face off against the live veterans. The newest extension to THE VAULT on PokerGO features a high stakes cash game with a battle of skill and bragging rights on the line.

Old School Vs New School Disc Jockey – 25 Things That Have Changed Ah, the days of manual beatmixing on turntables with a hard-won vinyl collection. DJing has certainly changed a lot - so we compiled an old school vs new school disc jockey list. A mix of old and new is a lethal combination when it comes to long-range shooting. How do old and new school long-range shooting methods measure up: Milrads are easier to convert, but it's easier for many Americans to think in MOA.

The “Vets” side feature some of the cowboys of poker with Doyle Brunson and Gabe Kaplan on centerstage. They were joined by Eli Elezra and squared off against three of the top young minds in the game.

Representing the “Nets,” Taylor Caby and Cole South were ahead of their generation by miles. The pair were major players in the former training site Card Runners and used their online cash game prowess to amass a small fortune.

David Benefield is the best known of the three young guns as a result of his final table finish in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event. Referred to as “Raptor” online, Benefield played high stakes cash games for many years and found solid footing in live tournaments with cashes in multiple $50,000 buy-in events.

All players bought in for at least $100,000 but that’s not the big number that jumps out from the table. The combined ages of the “Nets” were 68 at the time of the episode’s taping. That is four years less than Brunson, who was 72 when the battle of ages took place.

Kaplan opens the conversation by saying “Doyle, it’s nice of you to bring your grandsons here to play with us.”

The table chatter is not as lively in this episode as it is in other but there are fun barbs thrown in by both sides.

Notably, Benefield comments on the tighter play of the “Vets” and says the episode should be called “Nets vs. Nits.”

All six players at the table are sharp in their own right but were also ahead of their time by mutually agreeing that a 30-second shot clock would be good for poker. We all know by now what a great idea they had but it took multiple years before the tanking epidemic hit its peak and tours decided to implement it.

The full cash game battle of “Nets vs. Vets” is now available on PokerGO inside THE VAULT. It may be new school versus old school but great poker never skips a generation.

Old School Vs New School Poker Games

New episodes of Poker After Dark start on October 17 with the highest stakes yet as “Perks of the Trade” week kicks off.

American Johnny Moss was one of the initial inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame and for good reason. Born in 1907 he was one of the greatest poker players of his time. He won the very first World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in 1970, when it was played in a cash game format. The following year, when it was played as a freezeout, he won again.

Moss continued to play in the WSOP right up until the year he died, 1995. He won the Main Event again in 1974 and won a total of nine WSOP bracelets overall. He also played in a number of other tournaments and was famous for regularly playing high stakes cash games. Moss was widely known as The Grand Old Man of Poker in deference to his stature in the game.

Amarillo Slim

Amarillo Slim is without question a poker legend. The American, real name Thomas Austin Preston Jr died aged 83 in 2012 having had a very colorful life. He was famed for not only his poker skills but a number of other gambling activities too. He won one of the early WSOP Main Events, back in 1972. Following that win, he’s credited with helping bring a wider audience to poker.

Preston was a really engaging character and his appearances on television and radio talk shows certainly generated a lot of interest. He was inducted in the Poker Hall of Fame and will be fondly remembered by poker fans for a very long time.

Chip Reese

David “Chip” Reese was an American poker player that has been described by many as the greatest cash game player that ever lived. He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1991 and, at 40 years old, was the youngest player to have received that honor. In addition to his cash games skills he was a very proficient tournament player, with three WSOP bracelets to his name. He died in 2007, at age 56.

Doyle Brunson

When it comes to longevity in the game, few (if any) players can touch Doyle Brunson. The American was born in 1933 and at the time of writing he’s still playing regularly. He has twice won the WSOP Main Event, has a total of 10 WSOP bracelets and was the first player to earn over $1 million in tournament winnings. He’s a Poker Hall of Fame inductee and, in 2006, was voted as the most influential person in world poker by Bluff Magazine.

Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker is at the very least partially responsible for the huge boom in the popularity of online poker. In 2003, at the age of 27, he won the WSOP Main Event for around $2.5 million. What made his win amazing was that it was his first live tournament and he had qualified for the event at an online poker room. He had paid just $39 to enter a satellite at the PokerStars poker site.

Moneymaker gave poker players all over the world hope that they too could match his achievements. His win generated huge publicity and, it was what dubbed the “Moneymaker Effect”. There was a massive increase in the number of people signing up at poker sites after his win. While online poker would undoubtedly have become popular anyway, Chris Moneymaker definitely gave things a significant kick start.

Phil Hellmuth

Some people love him, some people hate him, but there’s no doubt that Phil Hellmuth is one of the best known poker players of all time. He has won a very impressive 13 WSOP bracelets, including the 1989 Main Event. Just 24 years old at the time, he became the youngest ever winner of the Main Event. Hellmuth has something of a temper, and he has been described as being brash and arrogant. Poker would almost certainly be poorer without him around though.

Old School Vs New School Poker Games

Vanessa Rousso is considered one of poker’s sex symbols and has appeared in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. However, she is far more than that and is a very accomplished player too. Born in 1983, by the age of 30 she had racked up well over $3 million in tournament winnings and is one of the most successful female pokers ever. She is vocal about her pro-gambling stance.

Dan Harrington

Harrington is a very accomplished poker player and author of one of the most famous series of poker strategy books, Harrington on Hold’em. He has won the WSOP Main Event (in 1995), is an inductee to the Poker Hall of Fame, and has won over $6 million in tournament cashes. His nickname is “Action Dan”, which is somewhat ironic as he is known to be a tight player.

Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey is regarded by many as the greatest all around poker player in the game today. He has never won the WSOP Main Event, but he does have nine bracelets to his name. He is a feared cash game player and has shown time and time again that he’s willing to gamble it up. As a former member of the Full Tilt Poker team of pro players he could often be seen playing at the online poker room at the very highest stakes

Annette Obrestad

Annette Obrestad claims to have started her poker career online at the age of just fifteen. Playing underage isn’t something that we condone or recommend, but it seems to have worked for Obrestad. She is one of the best known female poker players and has a number of successes to her name. She states that she has never had to deposit any of her own money to a poker site as she built her initial bankroll entirely by playing in freeroll tournaments.

Viktor Blom

Old School Vs New School Poker Free

Viktor Blom is a high stakes online poker player from Sweden. He is better known as “Isildur1”, his online screen-name. He caused a huge stir on the online poker world in 2009, when he appeared seemingly out of nowhere and started playing at the highest stakes available. At this time, no-one knew who was behind the Isildur1 screen-name, but there was plenty of speculation on the matter. In early 2011, shortly after joining the PokerStars team of pro players, his identity was revealed.

Daniel Negreanu

Negreanu is a popular poker player with significant winnings in both tournament and cash play. He’s particularly well known for his ability to read his opponents and accurately determine what cards they are playing. Daniel has himself stated that his most important skill is being able to observe and remember what range of hands his opponents play in what situations, and how they play him. He joined Team PokerStars in 2007 and has appeared on many televised poker shows.

Female poker player Liv Boeree is from England and is well known for both her poker play and her TV presenting. She first appeared on the poker scene in 2005 when she took part in a poker based reality TV show where she was coached by leading players including Phil Hellmuth. Since then she has had a number of lead roles on poker based TV shows and has had great success at the poker tables.

Old School Vs New School Poker Sites

Stu Ungar, who died in 1998, was one of the greatest poker players ever. He won the WSOP Main Event three times and was a top class gin rummy player. He was also a very skilled blackjack player and card counter, which led to him eventually not being able to play the game in Las Vegas casinos. He’s known as the “Comeback Kid,” because of his last WSOP win came 16 years after his previous one. During that time span he had hit rock bottom and experienced drug problems.

Old School Vs New School Poker Championship

One of the best known players from the online poker era, Tom Dwan is famous for playing high stakes under the screen-name “durrrr”. He began online with $50 and started out playing sit and go tournaments before moving on to cash games. By building his money at low stakes and slowly moving up, he eventually began playing in the biggest online games. Such is the nature of poker he subsequently experienced massive swings, but he’s easily a winning player. Dwan has proved to have excellent money management skills and has not been afraid to drop down in stakes when required.
