I am not sure why Dnegs didn't 3! AK and QQ in 2 spots. It makes his flatting range less predictable, but weakens his 3! range. He need some hands to gii preflop with. They could have gotten it preflop with AK versus JJ.

It does seem like his style. DP likes to keep firing and Dnegs likes to call.

So far DP doesn't need a Brinks truck. Pretty impressive that Dnegs is ahead 1/4 of the way to end early point. Dnegs should improve more than DP, so IMO his prospects are good at this point.

I think they're going the distance. Doug will never stop there, and at this point I don't think Daniel will either unless he crashes his 1.2MM roll, which seems unlikely in 9k hands.

True. The longer he can hold in the black, the closer this gets to coinflip territory. Still think Doug will take this in the end, but anything can happen.

Also Doug had a conversation with probably one of the brainiacs posting in this thread

DC confirmed in the post-session interview on GG that one of them is his wifey, Amanda.

The way he described it I'd say she's more of a sounding board than coach but definitely a part of the team.

You've got to hand it to him, he's leaving no stone unturned.

Doug's style maximizes variance and hes already tilting after 4 buy ins. i wonder if he gets down 7-8 buy ins and we start seeing his micro stakes bankroll challenge level of tilting . i think when you tired of poker the tilt is multiplied exponentially especially when you think your just all around better in everyway than someone else. i think there is a real chance doug can lose this challenge even though its small .

Either Doug is trying to get into DN's head or things are getting to him.

Honestly, this is the first big HU battle I've followed since Durrrr vs. Isildur back in the day and I'm loving it. The shortish sessions make it even more intense and interesting.

Someone's got to organise a ranking system and turn this into an ongoing Cash Game World Championship-type thing for all the best HS HUNL players going around.

X amount of hands split into y amount of matches, create some kind of ratings system and take it from there. It's been too long since anyone has taken the WSOP Main Event winner seriously, this would be next level stuff.

Perkins should be focusing on this instead of trolling twitter.

There are only like 3 moves in poker. It's not that complicated.

I must say, the match feels a bit like Fischer-Spassky II.

There's no way limitless, Linus or Trueteller are down against DN after 3k hands.

It's entitlement tilt. He believes he should be winning big against a cash game fish like Negreanu. Like you, I also wonder how far his tilt will go if he loses a few more buy ins.

To be fair there is practically no chance Doug is up against them after 3k hands either. This isn't the best in the world vs DNegs. This is a former best in the world who hadn't played HU for years vs DNegs.

Assuming a standard deviation of 150BB/100, and assuming Linus has a +40BB/100 edge against DN, DN will have a >7% chance of winning after 3k hands.

When you say, “there’s no way”, I assume you mean a probability less than 7%. So this must mean that you estimate these guys to have a win rate north of 40BB/100 against DN. What makes you think these guys can have that big of an edge against DN?

Hmmm, I'd give you some action. How about my $100 vs your $420? I wouldn't want to lose more than a hundred bucks betting on Negreanu.

Perkins has to be the most tilting whale in poker, attention seeking drama queen!!..has to get involved in every dispute/discussion in HS poker and always over exaggerates or gets it wrong.
