Very good poast with lots of bullseye points. Especially the last part about Neeme doesent get enough credit for how good a player he is. Mostly people get hang up on that he is a bit of a callingstation on the river here and there, and forget about his overall ability.
Regarding Vibes claimed winrates and hourly though i totally agree with the people who call BS on some aspects of what he says, like Borg in this thread and other posters in the winrates thread in the LLSNL forum. As mentioned from others, i also dont think he is lying when he reports about his stats. I have no reason to believe he isnt telling the truth, cause he seems like a very humble,down to earth likeable guy. I just think he has been running superhot though and well above expectation for the sample he has logged over the last 5 years or how long he have been playing 5/10. $150 pr hour is not a sustainable winrate long term in 5/10 games, the people who think it is have been smacked with a long stretch of positive variance so their views is biased.
He woudnt be the first one to underestimate the enormous effect of variance in livepoker, and for sure not the last. Also DGAFs legendary thread in the medium/high full ring forum is good source when it comes to a better understanding of variance in live poker:the main theme there amongst several top players (OP included who have logged around 20 000 hours of NL livepoker) is that variance is vastly underrated for so so many players, even lot of good pros.
Like, i know part time grinders personally who have played weekends regurarly for 4-5 years who have ran well enough over that sample to never have hit a major downswing.They show up and never get set over setted 5 times in 2 sessions for stacks. They dont repeatedly get on the wrong side of unavoidable coolers for stacks. They never run KK into AA 4 times in the same session. They never get repeatedly 2 or 3 outed for stacks over and over and over again for scary long stretches. If you ask these people, the answer gives itself: they simply dont know how bad it can get because they havent experienced it themself, and what i am talking about have nothing to do with skillsets or variance that you can avoid with your style of playing/deep stacks or whatever. If the doomswitch is on,its on.

JohnnieVibes was undoubtedly the best player at the table, as he often is.
There was another hand early in the session where Johnny and Brad both flopped a flush. Brad raised pre in EP, but didn't realize there was a straddle so it was like a min-raise, and Johnny was able to come in cheap with I think 6
9 and flopped a 9 high flush. Brad flopped the nut flush. So Johnny, being OOP, went for a check raise on the flop. Brad quickly made a big raise which pretty much turned his hand face up and Johnny was able to make the fold.
It's an example of two very different skill levels. If Brad flatted the c/r, he would have gotten a lot more money off of Johnny.

If you think that Brad's hand is face-up, then you believe it is also an easy fold for Johnnie if he flopped a king-high or queen-high flush instead of nine-high.
