All-Star Showdown, previews, predictions and coverage - Page 5 - Poker News

Someone needs to alert the pokerstars management team. They need to double the blinds immediately. If one of these players was to have a 25bb/100 winrate, it would take them AT LEAST 11 hours to finish the match.

Don't understand why people think this will be an issue. Run hot at NLHU and you will win at 100s of bbs/100 for small samples. The structure is fine, I prefer to see long matches rather than 1 hour of someone running good.

The game is definitely becoming more and more aggressive. Much more flop, turn and river raises occuring.

A few 4bets has been flatted as well.

Sauce has the biggest stacks on three out of the four tables, including two stacks bigger than $20k. One table is 150 big blinds effective.

I've really missed highstakes HUNL. Better than watching 55% set try to fade 45% wrap+FD all the time.

Sauce still has the bigger stack on three out of four tables, however, they are 150 big blinds effective on three tables as well now.

The first hour: 310 hands played, Sauce123 leading with $5,724 when finished.

- A lot of 3betting from both players, a good amount of check-raising from Sauce's side. However, not that many hands played and not many all-ins at all.

The second hour: 605 hands played (total), Sauce123 leading with $40,092 when finished.

- The game is heating up a lot, there is a lot more raising postflop as well as there is a more aggressive approach towards 3bets; calling and 4betting.
