Casual 120,000 dollar pot just now for Perkins. All in preflop with 88 vs Doug's AK.

Any update on how Doug is doing against BP?

So far he is doing well against DN. Very steady.

I like this Egptian commentator or GG poker. I think he is only 20 years old but he talks like a 45 year old. Very knowledgeable. Very smooth.

Lol Chan telling Duke to shut up from an adjacent table. Probably wasn't the first time he told her that.

Doug apparently offering 5bb/100 to any and all comers (as in, including guys like Linus, Limitless, and so on) to do a hu challenge against him.

What do you guys think, if Linus or Limitless accepted.

Rabichow felt that they'd have more than a 5bb/100 edge against Doug initially, but that Doug would probably close it to less than 5bb/100 as the match went on.

That's about what I would figure. Like 10bb/100 edge to the endboss guys initially, and then maybe Doug closes it to just 4bb/100 or 3bb/100 after 10k hands or so, or maybe even smaller? So, depends on how big of a sample size they'd be playing for.

Anyone know what Doug's all-in EV was against Ali, and what the sample size was, btw?

Sorry for the dumb question, but how does it work to offer someone bb/100?

Basically they play, then they guy giving 5bb/100 sends that amount to the other person based on the number of hands played in addition to whatever the results are?

Doug being laughably underestimated. He's a great hustler, I would actually back him vs any of these alleged end bosses in a straight up battle at big stakes. I don't think they would be able to mentally handle the heat in a long battle with so much money on the line despite all the hype they bring. Would be like the Galfond challenge.

It was amusing to have a third party weighing in on my behalf.

I got +185 on DN for tonight's match, ship it!

No, like using it as an odds buffer. Like if Doug ends the sample of the challenge losing by 5bb/100 or less then he wins the challenge.

Sort of like if you gave 1.5:1 odds or something like that (depending on the sample size)

I can't tell if you're trolling or not.



ftr i think rabichow is correct but that's kind of obvious to begin with, at least in the sense of doug being able to close the gap faster than wictor or linus could increase it.

Session was super swing. I think the 180k that was posted could be correct. Dnegs quit instantly after winning the last big pot.

He was down 160k at one point. Lot of coolers and setups.

The opposite. Doug’s saying that if they pay him 5bbs/100 that he’d play them. He’s cocky, not insane.

Between 10 and 15k.

Personally I would bet on a few HS regs over Doug getting 5bb/100.

in post game interview on upswings stream, Doug said Daniel using more flop sizings was throwing him off. He had to think a lot more, and for example wasn’t sure if his flop float with 63cc vs Daniels 7xcc 180k pot was a punt or
not. And what sizing is the cutoff for hands like that.
I imagine LLinus especially would be able to torture Doug with a bunch of different and sometimes unorthodox bet sizings.

13k is not bad, I would of thought Doug was down like 2 or 3 buyins

When Perkins plays online poker, is he really playing online poker or just pressing random shapes and colors with a laptop mouse?

I guess DN rebought a couple of times. You can't tell that much from the stack sizes.

Yea, I know, it was a typo. If you look a couple posts below, you can see in my explanation post in reply to TrustTheDrawcess that I was saying he was asking for 5bbs against the world, not offering 5bbs against the world.

Apologies for the typo
