Let's be real here.. You come to my stream, enjoy the free entertainement, the action, you even get hand analysis and then you come back here and badmouth some plays when i wasn't even in the topic of discussion (never was CL of that 1k, best position was 2nd) like dude come on, i don't like 2 faced people... Next time, just play the 2k yourself so we can all circle jerk ?!
You know like the saying: Put your money where your mouth is -_-'
Until Billy outed me yesterday I was more like 2 people than 2 faced but yes I accept that criticism. Je suis desole, mon ami.
I watch your twitch because I think you are a nice guy and you entertain me with your personality. Are you really shocked I am critical of some of your plays? I said worse to you "face to face" at the tables at least 10 times, c'est vrai, non? Like you said
all poker players make mistakes regularly. Your Twitch is not a good place for me to be critical because I don't wanna be an *******, distract you or try to tilt you. If anything I have been supportive
What you don't realise about me is that I am critical of everybody, including myself and especially winning O8 regs. Ask Billy, juicy, angryjuice, amok*, winningstek, broken_jia, Zapa, bokkie87, Krusty, Isildur, this entire thread even Hero Value the WSOP champ - RunGodLike, who committed poker suicide in the $1K NLO8 yesterday, still can't believe he took the line he did and it was WAY worse than anything I've ever seen you do. Geez you should see what I say about Beeethoven87, uhhmee, biggest winners in certain games in the history of stars. You are in good company as literally you are not an O8 player until you have been called a fish by me on 2+2.
With regards results and $2K buy-ins, I now work for a living man. I can't win a satellite and $2K for a single MTT is too much of a gamble for me, I don't mind admitting that. My overall results aren't great but they're not bad. What matters most to me is having low variance and if you look at my worm I am a very consistent winner. I don't have the big MTT wins like you but I can beat any game in any format, not just O8 MTT. If you say my results are bad compared to yours because I make more mistakes, I'm sorry, I don't think that is true.
Anyway when I say "horrible plays" I mean getting in with < 50% equity and scooping or taking 3/4 or even just not busting! That to me is "horrible" because it's something I can't seem to manage, especially in high stakes. I am so jealous of you and others who are given opportunities to win bigger MTTs. I was in the SM $10M a couple of weeks back. I got dealt like 12 big pairs and lost all 12 times to underpairs, 2 pairs, straights, flushes, trips.
But you can call and peel runner runner to be invincible on turn, scoop on river, for a huge amount of money, like $20K + just in the HU vs juicy? Then next hand you scooped him again (A29Kds vs A4QK or something). Sure you had the best hand pre (52/48) and played it fine but the scoop expectation is only 28%. So yes variance undeniably plays a huge part in winning MTTs and overall results.
