I'm pretty nervous now haha

Will grind a half day tomorrow.

ugh that a8 hand is my least fav spot to lose to a rec haha

Gazzy is a trueborn warrior who aint going down without heart failure (very relevant emojis)

Or apologizing to a 5'7 guy once he realized he was playing live poker with him, a trueborn warrior indeed.

Lmao you gonna come into my stream and beg to be my friend then get butthurt when I reject you like last time?

So funny when trolls get angry.

Na, the only one who got angry is you...banning me in your stream and thread and what I said is true good to see you said nothing about that. However we do share some similar music taste being the gaslight anthem other than that nothing.

No anger here bud, just a lot of sympathy

Stream Fwiend

Jeez not sure who to root for here cos both serious grinders

So these 2/5 hands were allegedly played on party?

Holy **** your place is nutty Ben! The skiing trip looks unreal from the footage also, super jealous. Bad luck w/ Feb grind hope you are closing out March strong. Mind me asking what part of London it is roughly and what expenses are like? glgl man

Just noticed something...how you gambling for thousands but don't got a monitor arm for your screen....an xbox cmon Ben.

Good to see you've been getting better results lately. Btw why not ride the stars heat train and just hop into 500z instead of grinding the party regfest?

**** Gazzy

not to derail, but the gaslight anthem/brian fallon is the nuts

Do you guys think that a2o performs worse than 100bb/100?

i rather defend 54o over a2o, but A2o should be +Ev vs a minopen

that being said I think I defend like 75% vs a minopen

Depends vs who

I believe whenever people discuss strategy like that it's from a theoretical standpoint, not an exploitative one

IIRC vs a 40% 2x open A2o is never mixing folds even in a higher rake environment than nl200.
