Mkay, I see some sense behind the A9o openshove, though vs some LAGs, a raise/call would be in order... but why not make it 2.5-3 bb with A6o HU vs a limp 21 bb effective? Doesn't the latter shove have too bad risk/reward ratio?

Looking at the game again now, excessive limping was only on the Estonian's side (and continued until the blinds grew to 30/60), the Hungarian was minraising buttons (and getting folds all the time but one resteal), my bad.

I haven't gone through their postflop action yet, need to do so and learn from the greats!

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure minargyuri and KvicKiller are SNE grinders. Good for them.

Would anyone here be interested in betting $20k against me at 4:1 odds that I can't achieve a +5% ev roi at $60+ spins over a 10k game sample? I have a motivational thread in the pgc section where I'm trying to achieve this but I am willing to change it to a prop bet and restart on Friday if I am able to book enough action.

pretty sure I'd be the one literally getting ****ed as I've only ever done buisness in 1st world countries. Also screwing over poor people in Latin America is just about the last thing I want to do even if its massively +ev

Yeah ah german player took it down with nick "handbt1"

Why cant Pokerstars have these promotion on its regular schedule? It is pretty fun.
New millionares almost everyday, that have to bring new players to the site?

This could create a second poker boom??

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with nonAI hands like A6o. Or shoving, or checking.
Shoving probably better in practice in most games, but I'd imagine dynamics (like vs rec who's raising pretty hands and just limp/folding a ton with a few big traps, who also is being a huge nit in their BB) where smaller raise can be better.

I could be wrong but I think Winimax was the first to have this format.

Did any of the winners keep playing afterwards?

It would be hilarious if someone playing the $5 SNGs right after winning $1M just fires up a bunch of new tables because his session isn't over yet and he is lacking hours for the month.

Lyuda (Lyudmila) is a Soviet female name which was yet popular in the Brezhnev era... is there any info on the actual legal gender of that Ukrainian?

This is my first post here, due to the fact that I ve used this forum for many years, it s time to share some information and get active. Till yesterday night I really had nothing to bring to the table here, but than one of my relative decided not to go to bed before spin one more time. Since then, haven´t seem my bed much.

if u wanna have some information about that handbt1 spin - just ask.
