Pretty sure the full tilt pros stick together why would they not. Though if this was before he signed I am sure it was tatic used to get him to sign.

Also, I’ve been playing Isuldur1 a lot lately. He’s a very aggressive player, and there have been some huge swings because of both of our aggressive styles. A month or so from now, I’ll probably be addressing the games in a more detailed entry, but as of now I’ll save that for a later date.

Still waiting.

my two cents, stop nuthugging.. no reason to thrash a language like that.

U r way 2 serious bout this imo.

I mean, if you communicate with someone the streets, you dont want him to mumble just because it's convenient for him do you ?
stop nuthugging, if he is a english major he should step up and type like the fake blogger does

Idk about him being an english major, but iirc he only went to college a few semesters, less than a year. That's not enough time to major in anything, only to get your feet wet with a few core curriculum classes.

Seriously, how smart do expect a guy that chose "durrr" as a s/n to come off?

And lol at "400 letters per minute". At that speed, he wouln't be able to write anything legible. 60-70 words per minute is blazing fast, transcriptionist speed.

I'm not nuthugging, I'm just sayin'...

Probably smarter than someone who doesn't realize that 400 letters per minute = 80wpm, and I haven't taken typing in 21 years. 60-70 wpm is decent, but certainly not transcriptionist(?) speed, not even decent secretary speed.

And I knew someone who was going to school to be a medical transcriptionist and she said it required minimum 65wpm (I'm sure they probably average higher).

For all that, my point is still valid, imo.

Check this out, the guy claims on his website that he reverse-engineered the game of durrr and antonius together with Hastings. He also analyzed durrr vs. isildur1 for Stoxpoker and the proof is the video. Do you really need more evidence?

The question is, does it matter? I think it doesn't. Everyone knows that sites like Pokertableratings are selling hand histories, everyone knows about Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker and such. If you still play online, you do it at your own risk.

I think a good analogy is the study of grandmaster's games in chess. It won't turn anyone into a master overnight, however, all the best players allocate some of their time to study what their peers are doing.

Also, the term "reverse engineered" is a bit extreme. I wrote a program that gives a different perspective on a match, focusing on betting lines and frequencies rather than individual showdowns. It is by no means a silver bullet, just a tool among others to study the game.
