Who is the Jennifer Harman of this era
In the Professor, Banker, Suicide King Harman took on Andy Beal heads-up, coming from the cadre of elite nosebleed Vegas players. I'm curious who would fit this bill today? Robbi Jade Lew seems to be a fixture of the big LA games. Vanessa Selbt used to play nosebleed but may not anymore and is Kristen Foxen more of a cash game or tournament player?
It seems like the nosebleed games (200/400+) have shifted to private and since Bellagio/Aria don't really get over 100/200 very often, the private games are obviously a source of mystery.
Jennifer Tilly, Sashimi and Brittany Wang?
There are no female poker players at the same relative level as Jen Harmon was back in the days. Female poker players as a group suck, thats just a fact.
Anette Obrestad is still in the top 5 all time money list for women lol, and she hasnt played in over 15 years.
she comes from a different generation, so no not many people like her!
Lol Kristen is way better than Harman ever was relatively speaking to competition.
One of the most useless threads ever created on 2+2. First answer and Poster us an instant confirmation of this fact.

Foxen. Other than that I have no idea why he's comparing anyone on that list to Harmon.
Dmoongirl was insanely good for her time
Harman is 22 years older than Foxen. Twenty years ago today(!) Harman finished 2nd in this 222 person $10K donk: https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/results...
You give Harman the chip lead Foxen had with 14 to go last year, she’s not finishing 13th.
How do you know? Kristen best game is tournament NLHE probably and almost definitely tournament poker. Harmon best game was cash LHE or maybe mixed cash but again definitely cash games.
So you can see Kristen playing her best games over a significant sample. Bbut Harmon, unless you played with her frequently, you have very limited if any sample size.

And tournaments were not her forte.

Isn't this the reputation of every alleged live cash "crusher"? Are good players not highly incentivised into leading people to believe this is the case when it may be just the opposite?
RJL as the closest thing to Harman in the poker scene is a wild thing to say.

Jennifer Tilly has better results according to Highroll Poker than Daniel Negreanu, Texas Mike, Aaron Zhang and Timofey Kutznetzov, and she's been around and playing the big private games. Sometimes people advertise on livestream, too, at least that's the rumor about Alan Keating.
Robbi Jade Lew claims to have played in games so big that she could easily pick off a bluff and send Mr. Adelstein packing.

I think the answer is yes but hard to tell with multiple double negatives. Reality is, which I think you are alluding to, is that for cash players seldom if ever do we get to really know their game.

playing in big games and losing for years doesn't make her Harmon. It makes her super rich with tons of money coming in every year from Simpsons royalties.

Ah, the bullet proof Keating/Mariano/Rampage theory. They purposely lose and play terribly in these big games to get invites to even bigger games... Where, they play great and win. And get invited back, and nobody's like, "Wait, you don't suck, you're great, take all the money please"
JH is a legend, they literally named a street in Vegas after her

Doesn't Rick Solomon fit this mold? Or JRB? Both live extravagant lifestyles.
Tilly losing on stream to the likes of Robl doesn't mean she doesn't win in private games with weaker players. She has a bracelet.
I can’t believe OP would start a thread that could be an interesting discussion and then mentions Robbi Lew. Seriously, WTF?
