I have lost my last three today.

Obviously, he is skilled at moving his mouse around the screen to get favorable randomness of the cards set to be dealt.

just noticed this as well...stacks below

two of the scariest players in poker history who, suprisingly, are currently two of the biggest marks at the games and stakes they currently play on the internet.

the king lives on!

05-12-2015 , 04:15 PM
Surprised no one is joins the game
05-12-2015 , 04:44 PM
really interesting match going on here. every pot has been in the 2bb - 6bb range and stacks arent changing at all. lots of folding, no hero bluffs/calls, and then suddenly this pops up in chat:



can anybody translate this? these two are really going at it and i wanna know if this is some serious trash talk or even physical threats...? really crazy stuff going on. heads up match of the year IMO.

on other hand, what are you playing these days bigdick?!

i might say something stupid about a hand, like the one where i incorrectly thought doorbread was turning his set of jacks into a bluff...although in that one i glanced at the board too quickly and thought the flop had 3 hearts (whoops...cant spend much time thinking about hands while posting and keeping up with hands during a match though)...but then somebody else will jump in and correct me with a better and more accurate analysis of what went down in the hand. so i dont really care when im wrong because i end up learning more about the hand and ultimately about the game altogether.

anyway, thanks again for the kind words, and big ups to the other posters you noted as well (testi, moda_, etc). keep up the good work dudes. also, you just earned yourself a new subsriber on your YT channel. "flattery will get you everywhere, my boy!" ....ill ship you a million isildur-bucks if you can guess the reference without googling that one. and yes, isildur-bucks carry no value and evaporate instantly.
I said it in the video but huge thanks again to you for grinding so hard in the thread of late and to guys like Testi, AnnnnnnField, Moda and old school Jamie Platinum. You guys make following the high stakes world much easier and enjoyable. I REALLY like the format you have been using for the FTP HHs, I wish that all HHs could include some type of easy way to include an image of the board at the end of it but not sure something like that is easily possible to be done.

I mentioned it a bit but I really like the approach and agree that it is a good way to learn more about the game. It also gives me something easy to reference/talk about. In a way you were able to ask me a few questions about some hands and get feedback on what you thought The reference def rings a bell but now I have to google it because I can't quite remember form where.

pretty straightforward hand and fairly standard lines from both i suppose. although surely somebody will disagree, call me an idiot and tell me to stop posting strat.

PRE ($900): ivey raise to $1800, isil 3bet to $5400, ivey 4bet to $16200, isil call

FLOP ($32400): isil check, ivey bet $24600, isil check/raise all in for $57828.50, ivey call

TOTAL POT: $148,056

05-12-2015 , 07:51 PM
not a huge pot but an interesting line from viktor. seems like a snap river call but im guessing he chooses to raise river to balance his range here so he can incorporate some bluffs into this line on these types of board runouts...perhaps repping missed spades/straight draws or just total air and hoping ivey will call down super light. almost impossible for ivey to have an overpair and just as tough for him to have a queen given his line so i guess it cant ever be thaaat bad of a raise, right? but maybe a bit too optimistic nonetheless.

PRE ($900): isil raise to $1800, ivey call

FLOP ($3600): ivey check, isil bet $3000, ivey call

TURN ($9600): check, check

RIVER ($9600): ivey bet $6600, isil raise to $18600, ivey call

TOTAL POT: $46,800
