So do you think that all limit games are devoid of strategic interest for railing? I guess if you are a HU limit specialist then that might be the case, but most of us aren't

For me at least, the fun of railing these games comes from watching Isildur, who is new to this game but obviously a very clever poker player, try to figure out Chung ho, who seems to be the best HU O8 player.

But more on topic, Isi has accumulated an almost 200k stack

This claim is as ridiculous as it is stupid.

This obviously isn't true for any game that isildur is playing. split pot hands still show alot of interesting insights into how both players are approaching the game and each other. if you only care about the money changing hands go refresh highstakesdb live page.

Ha, was wondering this too. Have no idea about this game beyond the basic rules, but that hand seems crazy to me. If I had to guess though I'd say it's just a standard blocker bluff?

I asked this a while ago, but nothing to lose so again: I'd be super interested if there are any good FLO or 2-7 TD players who have an impression of isil's game and are willing to post about it.

Obviously isildur is talented but I've often thought that a few of the best big-bet players might not adjust too well to limit games where they have less freedom to play whack and get away with it. Not saying that's the case, I have no idea, but yeah just really curious about it in general.

Back down to around 240k on the tables. Don't think I'm gonna hang around to watch this, hopefully he still has some left when I wake up in 8 hours. Night all.
