You would know.

Why don’t you post some of your hands? That’d be a start.

They had a big hu mixed game battle at $1k/$2k and I think it was Truteller who claimed Berri won $7m due to cross-booking.

They were cross booking and playing like 10x higher stakes like 1K/2k so it’s quite possible. Berri crushed him

I guess if you are buying in for 40bb @ 10k/20k mix, $7m is very easily lost.

Also, even after a decade of watching HS, a 20k blind boggle's my mind.

Because the losers check this thread and aren't aware of how much they punt away?

they prob wont, but some idiot regs or other people still havent learned and will berate them at the table.

the berry raul story is still weird to me. in order to play these mentioned stakes he would need like 20-30million, maybe more, bankroll. maybe staked but still this loss seems a bit to ridic to me. or did he make inf in macau games or smt like that

std deviation is a statistical concept which shows how much the datapoints in a sample "sways from the average"

For poker this means that any time you have a graph of hands (or tournaments!) and monies/bb you will have a std deviation also, so yes mixed games will also have a std deviation

How swingy HORSE (or any other limit games are), I have no clue though

For those interested, Leon has been spicing up the 200/400 PLO on GG (Kings#1):

do you actually believe that "the losers" are a homogenous group of people with respect to their internet browsing behavior, their awareness of poker losses, and how they react to a public display of these losses?

What's up with the mixed screennames and real names on GG anyhow? Because I assume Malinowski and Kuznetsov (and the others in same spot) have been forced to play under their real names for some reason, while other people in the same games aren't?!

edit: I also just now realized that Limitless (Malinowski) is playing 6max HSPLO there. Only ever saw him do that in the HUPLO zoom pool when imagineking was in it, before. Wow
