2k-4k 4k EURO ante cash game with Million Euro Min Buy in - Page 10 - Poker News

When he said at 3:03 28 that in almost every case people are playing all their own money I assumed he included himself in that. Especially since he went on to say hey I’m sort of making an exception cause I’m giving an option for the 15% to rui as I’m taking his seat. That was just my impression when I heard it.

nice rant, but GazzyB123 simply pointed out that the below statement is false:

Phil Ivey is the one true god. Pretty sure that was what robert meant.

When it comes to poker, he is certainly not a mere mortal like the rest of us. Or, maybe he is an alien space traveller or a time traveller from the future. Any of these analogies would be equally appropriate.

Ya Laak was always a ton of fun. Does he even poker anymore? I've just gotten back into some tv poker with the Triton streams and they were awesome so I have no clue what's up with the tourney/cash tv poker scene.

Much, much better than any cash game I ever watched on PokerGo. Dwan seemed like he was kind of running things, did a great job imo.

His banter is awesome. “Upstuck” and “felted” are his right?

I'm glad to hear that. The Triton stream had me glued and I never felt compelled at all to get poker go for whatever reason.

The 2/4k short deck cash game stream was the best poker media content I've ever seen. There as been a lot of good stuff lately from Aussie Matt etc but this event surpassed it all.

I cannot see Koon having more than 25% of himself.

Ivey 100%
Dwan 75-100%
Patrick 75-100%

Possible top 4 swap a %

Kalas 100%

Yes, Ivey seems totally out of his game. Must be on light money because he was playing short stack for awhile. If you’re the greatest player around and there is multiple fish in the game I don’t understand why Ivey has 10-25% of their stack and not having them covered. The only explanation is he cannot afford it

I know this is NVG but the speculation even for here on who has what % of themselves and trying to extrapolate every little nuanced micro expression into a Freudian statement on their life affairs and is over 9000.
