Does this game just run because of Nick or why would they even sit in that line-up?

lmao had to double check that Prahlad wasn't a joke. Maybe he's still crushing these days I dunno. Seems unlikely

There is a fish sitting in the game also sorry forgot to mention him. I'm not really familiar with who he is though. His name is Ralph Wong.

Are you sure Ralph Wong is a fun player? He was playing in the SHR Cash Game on PokerGo and came across as a pro.

I don't think this game is running just because of Nick. I think there's a small group of high stakes are willing to gamble with Andy and Berkey too. I think someone like Art might even view Garrett as a small spot.

If you've been watching LATB recently, Nick has actually been playing really well. Should be a fun game today.

nobody views garrett as a spot 500bb eff, if he's ever a spot it's at smaller stacks b/c garret is less GTO-bot than someone like art.

That seems like a very reasonable take. I was just speculating as a long time fan of LATB.

i always thought garrett was a regfish who flew too close to the sun. didnt he say he was steaked or is that brekey? kinda think art is num 1

pretty tough lineup since nick is decent/tricky.

Garret has said he has always had 100% of all of his action. I forget where I read it, but I think he said it in the replies in one of his tweets in the last few months. He has played in some large games though; so if that is true, that is pretty sick.

Nick > Berkey maybe

In all honesty who stakes berkey?

He gets crushed in almost every live cash game in the last 2 years~, he insists on spewing one hand per session in which he rips like 300-400bb drawing thin/dead. He has an extreme case of FPS.

I'd say nick is debatably better than Berkey. Nick bleeds money in small games from preflop calls... Berkey repeatedly shows that he doesn't understand what he's doing. And he has this weird poker ego that nick doesn't that seems to make him impervious to criticism / improvement.
