Man such a sick year for jungleman, I really hope he makes the transition into live play etc could be awesome to watch.

Kinda entertaining that NVG's (second) hero lost 2 mil. Never been the biggest fan but w/e.

If the stats weren't out, you'd be equally pretty sure he won in FTP too, wouldn't you?

I believe townsend lost big at bobby's room? Cant remember against who, but wasnt it like 2k/4k PLO and he 3 barreled into a flopped nut straight or something??

Ya, big winner.

Went on a huge heater in bobby's room before he lost most (or all) of it back iirc. Seems familiar.

There's a player at the 25/50 w/ ante PLO table named slowrollin78 who is opening about 75% of the hands from every position and just 5 bet shoved 10976 one suit. His PTR is pretty awful too

this site misses so many hands

lol at this comment on his own ptr today

This is what happens when you lie to your fans and paying subscribers about multiaccounting and database sharing. No one has any sympathy with you and you go from hero to zero in a nanosecond, then karma hits you and you lose $4mega in a year.

OBV You have all the info required to make the judgment off 1 hand.

Ya, big sample size bro.

There's tons of private games that go on that are actually kept somewhat private unlike the Macau game, just think about it for a second.

If he really thinks about PLO (well, any poker game) like this I wonder how he has ever moved past 0.02/0.04 PLO.

If he continues betting on that flop it could make sense to have the intention to barrel through most of the time when board doesn't significantly change, though.
