Why would he be trolling about nlhe? His nlhe game should be much better than isildur's

In his thread PADS says that it is common knowledge that DANMERRR is thought of as the best HUNL player in the world, is that true? I haven't heard anyone say it before.

I've heard that before and DANMERRR had confirmed it.

I heard this hashtag king guy is #1 and he confirmed it himself.

Spoiler:
no diss to Danmer

there is for sure at least one person in the world who thinks danmerrr is the best nlhehu player in the world (guess who)

still, he seems to be very good and him going from nl50 to hs in less than one year is very impressive

Not trolling about having an edge in NLHE, but NLHE being to only other game he thinks he beats Isildur in.

Would appreciate if anyone can translate the new messages he has been posting.

He said most of the HS community thinks Viktor has an edge vs him right?

I tried to translate, let me know if you spot mistakes:

Q: Is it about money or the score?
A: About the score, doesn't care about money but a good score gives him satisfaction in his job as poker player.

Q: Do you talk about money/swings with your parents?
A: Rarely, mostly regretted it when i did. He underestimates how most people can't differenciate between variance and the actual money.

Q: Relationship with other pros,
A: 4-5 close guys he often talks with, plenty of other pros he talks with from time to time

Q: Getting sweared at while playing poker
A: Happened quite often, sometimes also did it himself. "intolerant towards idiots"


Q: Relationship with Isildur
A: Talked a lot more in the past. Aren't friends, but get along well. Would play him if they didn't get along but doesn't play guys he's friends with because then they couldn't share strat.

Q: Does Isildur have friends he talks strat with?
A: Yes, but probably not as much as he does.

Q: Deal between them
A: No deal, either the game is good and doesn't make you unhappy or it doesn't.

Q: How are you studies going/plans for the future?
A: Didn't do anything for his master in two years, doubts he'll finish it. Will probably play poker for at least another year, but can't see himself doing it in three years.

Q: More motivation because it's Isildur?
A: Always more motivated if the opponent is willing to play high stakes and many hands.

Q: Ever had a bad conscience because of winning lots of money?
A: No because he only plays pros but should have had it in the past when taking most of someone's money.

Q: Isn't Isildur a fish?
A: No, most of the highstakes community gives him an edge over me in both 8game and PLO.

Q: Overall in the recent battle?
A: Graphs of 8game and PLO, not including a 20k win in 2-7. 350BB downswing over 35k hands, which is irrelevant because he won back 275BB in 2.5k hands. Has seen crazier variance before.

^ (As9c5s2c hand)
Raul is v-betting river because he has 5x for the low straight blocker or bluffing wtf? Seems bit ambitious either way? Seemed like precisely the hand you want to x back the river.
