Minuscule sample, truly insignificant especially for PLO.

Berndsen's a HUNL specialist afaik (specifically HUSNG's - he's the one Isil always plays in the 5k's), only really seen him start to play PLO recently.

Btw, just noticed Phil's got a new blog: http://www.philgalfond.com/new-year-new-blog/.

Yeah, I wouldn't say he's getting raped, just take a look at most of the big pots, Berndsen is running very hot.

I wonder if "I can play you both" was a typo or an intentional double entendre on Galfond's part.

Yeah they played on FT.

erm...Berndsen + raiseonce?

You're thinking about this too much.

Don't want to troll, but:
Why a lot of people still consider Galfond an elite player, when he is break even for the last year?

I think galfond has been playing over 24h now, while writing blog posts.

hsdb has acted strange for me to last few days, not my browser

Indeed, uncharacteristically, I believe Phil (G) boasted about being able to beat Ivey, that he had fundamental leaks, etc. Then Ivey put a hurt on him.

I guess because he's still an elite player?

Or maybe he doesn't win anymore because he isn't an elite player anymore.

Mr. Galfond have played the last ~14hrs. And He did indeed play againt Ivey on fulltilt. AND if you guys read his new blog you would find out that he is not afraid of anyone at this kind of low stakes. So playing Ivey at 100/200$ isnt a big deal caus the swings will not damage Galfonds roll.

lol...100/200 is "low stakes" when they're sitting with over $60k each.

so, raiseonce is ivey and hes down also over 250k on the year. i guess he's not an elite player as well.

Are you including games other than PLO in that? He played a lot of limit games.
