**** March High Stakes Thread **** - Page 125 - Poker News

I love how people think that running $1m or even $3m above EV in Heads Up PLO is super sick.

PLO, especially HU is such a variance fest, if a guy at 100NL ran $1000 above EV in such a game, it's "standard".

To the poster who said "we should respect Hastings cause he plays these stakes". Do you respect NFL players who got caught on steroids cause they play the highest level?Do you respect golfers who have been caught cheating cause they play PGA tour?Do you respect MLB players who got caught with a corked bat? Hastings has something in common with all of these examples and yea he defo isnt on steroids. He cheated plain and simple he broke the code of conduct and was caught. You dont need to tell anyone who to respect, they can make their own decisions.
