HUNL - High Stakes Legends Showdown @RunItOnce - Page 2 - Poker News

Phil is in Las Vegas, so probably not gonna to play

Another idea for the future would be something like the SuperStar Showdown that PokerStars made many years ago... 5k hands, 4tabling, many opponents. I could see limitless playing it...
Or even better, the SuperStar Showdown match that was Isildur1 vs Ike. Playing until one of them lost $500k

Rabichow might be a little questionable but disputing that Mikael Thuritz is an absolute legend of online poker is pretty ridiculous. Hard to come up with many names that have crushed for so long over all sites and various games. Also pretty sure he was one of the first Western pros to move to Macau and did significantly better in those games than most other big names.

Your lack of poker knowledge isn't really a great measuring stick of who's a legend and who isn't though, is it?

Phil is talking about legends on HS-HUNL

Legends are the ones that attracted thousands of railbirds back at the day at FTP and not some 20old kid

Apparently playing the highest stakes games in the world, in all formats, online and live, for 15 years doesn't qualify you as a legend

Also gonna leave this here (guess who the ponytail with back to the camera is (lol@Torelli btw))

Okay done with my input into wether ***** Mikael Thuritz counts as a legend or not

I mean not many people enjoy play poker anonymous without screenames.

Phil you are great and many want support your site but how we do this in anon site ? IMO you choose good strategy to promote your site, trying to make famous players at your site, it is good idea for real . But when your site is anonymously and your marketing is on well know players it sounds weird, it seems your team know it is important to have screenames at at same time it is anon site . ?

??

maybe you should go flip the corrupt money your bolsonaro lovin father gives you once a month and let the adults do the talking.

Haha, quality

Also, shhhh to any Thuritz doubters, if he's not a legend who the hell is? Who we hoping for here, Ted Forrest, Mike Matasow and Doyle? Dont think they have RIO accounts.
