Oh, it's supposed to be "set", right? Sorry, english isn't my 1st language.

But still, we're really getting close to beat the record.

lol your post content doesn't really relate to the title.

maybe durrrr vs isildur is bad for future railing of other games. i'd hardly call it "bad for poker".

i'm a HU player and there has certainly been more people trying HU lately. noticed a few overbets lately too

for me the games have always been about a battle of the minds. ivey vs durr i would still watch at nl100; the amount of money being gambled adds excitment but i'm a poker purist, it's the skills, swings and sick calldowns that i watch the games for.

playing poker with your own money is a good reason to not watch HSP

Also, I enjoy seeing a great player play. No matter what the stakes.

Resolved: The Johnny Moss/Nick the Greek HUHU matchup at Binion's in 1951 was bad for poker.

Railing online, no matter how high the stakes or quality of players, Is mind-numbingly boring.

I'm honestly wondering if isildur is cheating somehow. It 100% seems that way with some of his plays and cards he catches.

Ivey and durrrr could play again but it won't be the same level of excitement. Even the ziigmund vs durrrr plo match that was running at the same time seemed dull while this was going.

Everything from now on in terms of watching cash games will be downhill. Nothing can live up to this battle anymore. It can not be topped. After this match, watching high stakes will be pretty boring. It'll be like sleeping with the girl in your avatar and going back to your average wife. What do you guys think?

So I know NVG is not really the place to ask a serious question but .......
Why if your a high stakes online player where you could possibly have million dollar swings would you play someone you don't know? In fact someone no one seems to know.
How many high stakes poker players are there that play at 500\1000 HUNL? in the world?
And your telling me that no one knows for sure who isildur is? I'm assuming durrrr practiced some sort of game selection when he was at the lower stakes right? Why would he abandon that now?
