Interview with Durrrr (starts at 53 minutes in):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CBOBkrSqwM

...where he discusses the challenge vs. Jungleman, amongst other things.

[x] Durrrr thinks he's mostly on the bad side of variance atm

NLHE (only mentions top 3):
1) Jungleman
2) Fish Eye (Observer84)
3) Isildur

He says that after those 3 he's mentioned there's a substantial drop in skill.

PLO:
1) Durrrr
2) Patrick
3 & 4) The Phil's.

Dani does claify that he doesn't have as much experience in PLO so may not know who the best are.

No come on, there's still reasons to keep it open, for instance any relevant material on the challenge, ie interviews.

Also, there's always a Twitter (or Tweet) etc when the challenge is going to continue so people will know when it's on.

this is the perfect time to bet on durrrr, it is like when sports team are down 1-0 or 3-2 in a best of 7, you know the better team is down and can easily come back but are still given odds like +250, the worse team/player always seems to blow it, easy to take the lead, harder to close it out

Like +200. I agree good time to bet on him. In the interview posted above he snort-laughs when asked if he has been on the bad side of variance and is like "I would never be losing $100 a hand if it weren't for runbad".

This and many other heads up reads have helped jungle.

what an idiot
