Justin Bonomo the best NLH tournament player ever? - Page 4 - Poker News

There is an idea called Last Thursdayism that says you can't disprove the theory that the universe popped into existence last Thursday. This is one of those not serious ideas, like Schroedinger's Cat, that just serves to make a point.

But still, maybe the universe was created 5 months ago and Justin Bonomo is the greatest NLH tournament player in its history. This is unfalisifiable and my beliefs are sacred so don't @ me.

That belief only started 5 mins ago

And we live in a world where a ton of those ideas are tax exempt.

Personally, I miss the days when NVG would relentlessly rag on Bonomo for his multitabling and his woeful appeal to the ethics of Grandpa Tico.

One thing about bell curve of running versus EV that is variance: the greater the winning results and the longer they persist, the less likely it becomes they're attributable solely to variance.

Interesting. So it would go:

Seat 1: Bonomo
Seat 2: Holz
Seat 3: Bonomo
Seat 4: Colman
Seat 5: Bonomo
Seat 6: Hellmuth
Seat 7: Bonomo
Seat 8: Ivey
Seat 9: Bonomo

Colman will have the same reaction no matter how the hand plays out.

The entire event will consist of one hand, yet Hellmuth will still remind everyone how many times he's folded.

Bonomo 2 tanks for 5 mins then calls
Hellmuth snapfolds

Holz: "You tanked with aces?? What a slowroll!"
Bonomo 2: "It wasn't a slowroll. Hellmuth was still left to act!"
Hellmuth: "I can dodge bullets baby!"

Colman raises with 89 suited. Hellmuth calls with J4. Fedor Raises with j10. Ivey folds. Bonomo calls with AA. Colman folds. Hellmuth calls.

Hellmuth checks dark
Fedor bets
Bonomo raises
Hellmuth ships
Fedor tanks and eventually folds
Bonomo snap calls

Hellmuth berates Bonomo for 5 minutes and says he's awful.

Might have to disagree with you as he is playing against the same group of guys all of the time. Yeah you need run good. But to say it is definitely all due to variance may be woefully inaccurate.

Seems highly possible he is adjusting to them and picking things up better than they are against him.

I'm no JB fan, I just report truth when I see it.

The adjustments he is making is that he is winning 15 out of 15 when HU.

Maybe I am asking in the wrong place for his plays.

Boring right? But unfortunately, it's what the reality of MTT poker is.
