Can anyone find the screenshot from the mid-00s showing a player with £2,000,000 at a £150/£300 Limit table on Cryptologic?

Of course there was no max sit-down, and he'd sat down with his entire roll.

But the point is that yes, there was a lot of money on the Euro sites...

And the reason why he's so aggressive and douchey in his posts is because his recent heater ended and he's busto again.

I'll admit, his PTR is quite perplexing(if that's even him, not 100% sure it is), but I at least know he knows his stuff, which can't be said for most in this thread.

PLO is historically the most favorite poker game in Europe and as I said before we were playing it live before the internetz and before most of you knew PLO existed heh.
Those are the facts and I mentioned them because there were posters in this thread that know Grundy from FTP only and base their opinion of the graph on that small sample only.

This is a non-issue though I don't understand why so many get so butthurt about the graph and make bold claims that it's fake with ZERO evidence to support the claims.
"His winrate looks kinda high for today's standard so it must be fake" is not an evidence that should convince you lol.

Just because Euros have been playing it for longer doesn't mean they are better, and there is a large hole in the statement that they have been playing it for longer, yet this ONE guy was able to destroy it like no other.

As has been said in this thread previously: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. He has made the first, has provided none of the second, and evidence others can readily find are contrary. Mind you, he doesn't have to, but then again, he and others shouldn't be surprised when people are skeptical.

No, he wouldn't. Stop-losses in general are fallacious and counter-productive to winning poker play.

This thread has been entertaining.
It's not going to be tilt killer like some of the photoshop threads are, far from it, but it has a bit of a funny value.

He has posted ITT. Read it.

k, no idea why you are disrespecting me, seriously what the ****? In BG's shoes if I knew myself to be legit (assuming he is), I wouldn't exactly want to just chill on hardly any evidence backing myself up while the rest of the forum tears me to pieces. For 10+ pages he hasn't said a thing.

I expect his absence is largely explained by the fact that he's old enough and rich enough to not need to spend his time explaining himself to a bunch of snarks on an internet forum, as opposed to somehow finding 'disrespect' in utterly benign remarks.

I'm with Ben now and he wants to offer a challenge. 25,000 hands hu over 4 tables but you have to be willing to be opposite each other in real life and do 1 shot every 15 minutes, 6 hour min sessions. He says bring it on; min stakes 25-50. He refused my action- brag

He says yes if it's drinking not pouring in the eye, and if 2 chosen players can play for each 10 minute slot alternatively

for those who don't know..Dubai is the original Isildur from what I remember on the Betfair forum. I played you a few times if your username on Betfair was what I think it was - it did not end well for me
