dNegs and COINFLEX DOUG should have a rematch purely live. Daniel would totally annihilate that bum.

If they think that way, surely either of them should just challenge these "livebums" like Polk or Buttonclickr to a live HU match for all the money, right? I somehow doubt Berkey will have a hard time getting matches against the online guys if he wanted to, even in a live setting. Then he can use all the "intimidation and influence" he wants.

you can pick a mans pocket many times, but you can only skin him once... I think it's better to leave some meat on the bone so that he can come back for another harvest.

same holds true for Rec players... and quite a few Regs.

They're both live players.Online is a completely different game. Why would 2 live players agree to play online?

dNegs would have wiped the vomit off the floor with Doug "Coinflex" Polk's face had they played live.

With the help of an investment banking bink, of course.

Cringe,you really think he even close to broke lol?
He lends out more then he's down here and is owed about 300k from ryusuke so this isn't going to effect his net worth.
Anyone who knows anything about heads up knows big swings are normal and it's only few but ins he's down

Seen plenty of cringe comments from
both sides, most notably Landon but who cares if they speak to anyone for couple of minutes,are we really expected to believe berkey who is on his phone regularly, isn't talking to his crew about hands?

Not that it matters but didn't he follow him in to ask how was going ?
Its not like he's got time to just stop to do big analysis of everything, admittedly the whole things pretty funny it's apt that it started April fools
Guess we going to get weird comments about it from Landon and rest of berkeys crew the whole way thru

Galfond was down 40 buyins (!) halfway against veni and finished the challenge as a winner. Imagine making judgements about 3 stack swings

Matt "Super Lucky Luck Box Loco" Berkey. Airball will get him by the time they enter the Adequate Sample Size Zone.

Landon not even there but seems to be making a lot of accusations and talking **** about Nik and balla who he refuses to play.
Apparently it's only ok for berkey to constantly be on his phone and talk
