Any ideas on when we are likely to see it?
What time do they usually start playing uk time? I think its around midnight?

because that just doesn't happen imo. he just randomly has money to do it now.

for example... aejones plays 25/50 50/100 on a consistent basis... but every now and then you see him playing 500/1k or 300/600 and crushing. It's not that it's not him on the account or that his game has changed or anything... it's just that he found a spot where he thinks he is super profitable and took a shot.

i hope that makes sense.

also at different times during these 30k hands... ive been like "wow isildurrrr is running soooooo hottttt, but at the same time i've had stretches where it's just like wow durrrrrrr running amazing"

i feel like 30k hands HU is an absolute ****ton and it's more than just variance. Isil just seems to be better as of right now.

the fact is that poker is an extremely high variance game where it is nearly impossible to quantify skill level because there is no transitivity. Styles match up differently and tom seems to be having difficulty now that he is not the more aggressive player for once.

That being said... Tom I can't see your cards but based on my railing of the match..... plz stop floating dry flops in 4 bet pots and then folding to turn shoves. Oh and tighten your pf ranges a bit.

I love this attitude from the high stakes players like yourself and OMG lol. So many people itt are trying to make assumptions on who it is, who has the edge over the other, and you guys are just like, 'Meh, just ****ing watch and enjoy'

Nahh never heard of it but I googled it.

One day isil vs durrrr will be a hollywood blockbuster. Or at least a documentary.

have you watched any of the matches? the only time they are not deep is when someone rebuys

Likewise

i like that

and btw are those two sickos actually HU4ROLLING?

I don't think they will be playing tonight. The last few days they started playing 2 am my time, so 1 am yours i guess.

odds are dwan/ivey/antonius/bt/cole, etc haven't studied bloms hands on ipoker

almost 100% blom has studied theirs

Durrrr said in chat he will play after HSP. When does HSP end?

Last night it ended early he said and they started to play around 2 AM GMT.

Durrrr said the last time they played (yesterday?) that he could play 8 hours more and then could not play for THREE days. Isildur said a few minutes later he could do 1 more hour, and I don't think he lasted that hour because he was tired. So I am waiting a few days but would love to see action sooner.

Obviously Dwan needs to sleep for 2-3 days and recover from his caffeine fueled HSP+Isildur bender. He's gonna wake up on Monday and be like 'WTF why is my FTP account empty!?'

Isildir wouldn't play him if he limps the button. That was the reason he didnt want to give DB action because he thought he was too nitty and limps too many buttons.

I think they are shooting for three days straight or something like that.

Funny part is that Dwan told isildur1 that he might be able to play a couple of hours at night. Strong amount of pokars.

they are both such great players....sick that one of them will go broke if they continue playing each other

Pretty sure it is blom90 until proven otherwise. If he wants to keep his identity hidden for whatever reasons it would make sense to say it's not him and lie about his age on the FTP chat.

well, its actually a pretty good movie. it has everything to do with honor and over coming adversity.

if durrrrr wants to be known as the best, he can never opt out, quit or refuse any challenge. if any of those things were to occur, he could never reclaim or recapture the title again. in a way, it would be like a permanent retirement.

however, there is no disgrace in getting beat and there is no disgrace in going bust. you can still come back and prove your the best.

Well then it seems like a good way for durrrr to back out without oficially backing out and in case Isildur plays him further he should have some problems adjusting to it.

+1, pm please !

they're all in

Just wanted to add my two cents to all this talk....

I think any argument that Durrr is running bad is just nonsense. Even if Durrr was running bad, it would just result in him being down less, but certainly wouldnt mean he would be winning.

It seems particularly scary how comprehensively and specific Isildur's decisions have been. He checks back trip aces after he has been value shoving 2nd pair and not only being correct in his estimation that he is winning but he is getting calls.

If you analyze the two play styles, I think it is generally fair to say that when Durrr is betting his range is polar, i.e., he has a fairly strong hand or a hand that has little to no showdown value. Compare this with Isildur. His range is not polar. His range fits into merge land. There are hands where you look and you aren't sure if he is value betting or bluffing, (hell he might not know).

is that how you handle adversity? find a excuse to save face, yet make yurself look 10x crappier?
