WCG sitting with over 500BB on one table? Thought they were splitting after 250? Or maybe it's only Sauce who must split at 250? If that is the case then it's totally unfair.

Makes no difference if one person is deep if the over isn't deep... DUCY?

If both are not at 250 then it doesn't matter.

I don't agree. Mathematically it's the same but no matter how level headed you are it's psychologically harder when you have 100BB v's a guy with 500BB.

WCG definitely running better so far this session but Sauce still only a few buy-ins down. I'm telling you Sauce will wear him down once he hits the run good.

Flopped QQQ v's pocket KK for 93k shipped to Doug. I like the almost time out on the turn followed by the instacheck on the river. Sweet.

Nonsense, that BS.

What's the current line? It seems people taking sauce at +105/110 got hustled

Good idea, stream should be saved to video, after its over for people that can't watch.

LOL

if it is psychologically harder for you, it will be a huge impediment to your advancement.

Man, WCG is just running too good, hitting everything. Now might be a good time to look for 2/1 Sauce.

WCG running so good right now. (Set << flush draw) * 2

R.I.P. Sauce

Well yes, I prefer to be greater than 100BB and while this is not a good thing it might not be as huge an impediment as suggested. Poker is not black & white, same as the ebb & flow of a HU match IS important despite it not being important if we were all bots and thus people will try tell you it is not important. I am not a bot and do not try to pretend I can think like one and therefore never fail to see the logical theoretical side of things no matter how much pressure I'm under in a match. We all come under pressure and all convince ourselves to think that certain illogical thought process are ok e.g. No matter how much Sauce balances his ranges do you really think that j10 suited shove he did today is part of his A+ game? Personally I don't like to be 400BB less than my opponent. I do see it as a weakness but not as a lol factor (though you didn't lol) that automatically means "dude is clueless." It is also a weakness to think too theoretically and too structured and believe that everything that doesn't add up is just plain wrong and anyone who says otherwise thus has a huge weakness in this area. While that is likely true it is not cast in stone. I have played over 700K hands of HU and am still standing and I can tell you the psychology of HU poker is in ways as important as all the theory in the World. To prefer to be even stack with your opponent rather than 400BB less is far from a catastrophic mindset imo.

You prob won't have trouble getting action for your next 700k.

Good response

Anyway, don't wanna highjack the thread with stupid talk.

WCG is running like Jesus on coke!

anyone know how much up is the WCGRider?

4h 48 minutes played, 1338 hands played.

it's not catastrophic itself, but it suggests a bunch of other issues.

you're right that psychology is important in HU poker. not getting annoyed in a high variance game by things that are mathematically irrelevant is important, and recognizing those who do feel this effect presents another opportunity for profit.

Completely true.

I'm not saying it tilts me though. I just prefer to be deep.

thanks vanilla thunder

Poker candy.

Yup sicko call with the K high, read the busted draw like an open book. He is really on top now, can do no wrong. Sauce might be as well quitting for today.
