Douglas "WCGRider" Polk vs Ben "Sauce" Sulsky - High Stakes HUNL Challenge - Page 28 - Poker News

. it's kinda funny how a lot of SSNL guys are obsessed with their red line and then you have 3 of the top 5 HU players tell you it's not really important.

If Sauce after 15k hands will lose by total amount we should look at "Won without showdown" graph and invite viffer to advocate for Sauce winning this challenge against WCG.

i love 2+2

against regs i tend to always lose non sd if im winning the game, and if im losing im winning the non sd giraphe

, the reasons are not a mystery tho and sadly i can safely say sauce isnt suffering from the same issues. I need to get better at this pokers thingy

i actually think most people know that its not really important, its just interessting/cool with nice nsd winnings because alot of players simply cant acheive it with their default strategy.

Give the poor guy a break. Just because he is unedumacated doesn't mean he would argue for that. Obv all bets would be void though.

or we can take a list of 10 gambling experts, throw them into a hat and pick 3 that can void the bet for him.

given the amount of extensive prep doug does before and during these matches, i don't see how him saying that he's "ready for anything" and will bring the pain makes him a douche. i have never once heard him bitch or gripe if he is beaten, and afaik he's willing to play anyone, so what's the problem?

also, that pic is probably at least a few years old

Obviously the playing deep, over the previously established BB limit is what voids all bets, past and future x-books, and junglz birthday. #viff

the guys giving WCG a hard time, if everyone gave off the exact same robotic replies about opponents how boring do you think these interviews would be? how boring would the poker world be? people like WCG are good for poker, he's confident, cocky, arrogant and is willing to back it all up by playing anyone in the world at some of the highest stakes available online.

imagine the amount of action if everyone had a similar attitude to WCG... the poker sites would be like a battle ground

Quite honestly, the people calling WCGRider a douche are way out of line. Especially on twoplustwo -- Doug has given more to this community than 99% of you guys will. I don't know what he's like nowadays but on his come-up he was always willing to share information, discuss hands, and contribute.

He's where he's at because he's put in more hands than literally 99.9% of the community, and deserves every bit of success he's achieved. Y'all just wasting your breath.

Everybody loves Sauce because he's a frickin genius but you guys have got to type WCG's nick into the search function and go through all the posts he's made here over the years. Then I think you'll realize how much effort he put into becoming as good as he is now.
