He's a stats geek and he checked his own stats the last 4 years and decided he wasn't worth the price.

So why did Team Fleyshman take him?

Feel free to stop making stuff up as you go any time...

New vlog is up and at it's as creepy as usual . My favorite line from the episode is

Help a black man is chasing me

Mad plo skills in the latest Vlog, very loosey goosey.

With the calling out people who didn't him thing, it's probably related to the convict who repaid him $500 a week or so ago and he thought if this guy can pay me back why can't others.

Definitely, and it can also be very tilting and unsettle your game when you are in a comp or a cash game and losing or struggling and you see some master of BS non payment excuses player on the same or nearby table sitting with or having bought in for a comp with more money than they owe you, or the size of game/comp they are playing inferring that they have a bankroll that should be able to pay you what they owe.

It's one of the worst feelings in poker.

He plays a lot of bad hands but its okay because he knows they are bad. Deep runs are sure to follow.

I'm curious to know how a PLO hand qualifies as "bad" in a tournament.

Silly children's game.

He put his hand up in the latest vlog to it being an error in not getting it in OTF in the folding to the 1/9th pot bet OTT hand.

And the theme of the vlog is that he's playing some "Gangsta PLO", i.e bluffing a lot and giving himself the chance to do so by playing a wide range of hands in position so that his opponents are kept guessing.

It's a pretty reasonable strat in PLO MTTs when executed well and thoughtfully, selectively, so it will make him a threat in a PLO comp.

But IMO he is still quite susceptible to making the occasional big error against opponents with a higher level of PLO technical strategy know how, and if and when stacks get to <35BBs him not playing optimally pre-flop, which a big part of is calculating yours/your opponents likely SPRs OTF, could be quite exploitable against better opponents.

Unlike the YouTube comments, which are predominantly from die hard fanboys/fangirls and sycophants, here on twoplustwo we hold him, or any player for that matter, more accountable.

And in the day 1 vlog of this $10K PLO he did proclaim "I am really, really good at this game (PLO)", having got a few questionable bluffs through, when just from that one vlog it doesn't appear that he is really, really good at PLO MTTs.

Anyone else notice that he often refers to the comments on YouTube but never refers to the comments on twoplustwo. I wonder why!!

Fleyshman obviously not a stat geek.

"Help, a black man is chasing me!"

"Why am I so gangsta?"

Holy **** please bring more runbad this is making my skin crawl.

Give us another prediction.... no more 2nd place finishes?

His plo game reminds me of tilted donks in 11$ online turnament. His loosey goosey bad hands in position preflop,, and gangsta style postflop just shows he has absolutelly no idea what he is doing, he is sad to watch.

lol’d at the pool basketball shots.
Films 4 complete bricks with terrible camera work.

He doesn't see color, but someday color is going to see him and it's going to get awkward fast.

That's the joke
I repeat, that is the joke!

If you read up more on him, it's pretty apparent there is camera's on PH and camera's off PH. I think Dnegs is the same awkward guy with torrettes regardless of the situation.

Highlight of the vlogs so far for me this summer has been Phil's tenacity in going for the fist bump with Daniel. He just never gave up. Got the job done in the end. Wasn't pretty though.

#1 bracelet holder in refusing to be left hanging

Was that Chris Ferguson he snubbed by omission at 12m25s on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-j7xY6nlyQ?

Looks like it. They also shared a table briefly in one event, and it didn't make it into the blog. Btw, you can right click at the time to get a URL for the timestamp, so people don't have to find it themselves. "Copy video URL at current time"

Oh God that would be so awkward to deal with.

He just wanders around like the Pope saying hi to certain people and ignoring the rest.

It would be awkward if he wasn't making sure people are prepared for him by regularly letting everyone know that he is "vlogging". He doesn't mind making a complete clown of himself , unf. he makes people around him very uncomfortable by having to act like clowns too just to stay polite to him, except for Phil Ivey ofcourse. It's best just to ignore him, what most people do anyway.

He’s pointing out people on his fantasy team.
