Some reign in the live circuits and some people just run like Ben Lamb over the web! And that man is Phil Galfond

Incorrect, spidey_85 has been playing the table, and I would bet my life he is underrolled for the game longterm (<$500k+). Why I'm so confident? He played his button and sat out on me at a $10/$20 table about 9 months ago. What a douche. He's mainly there for another player though, who now are both sitting out.

Oogee should generally crush Galfond in the infinite run, but the limits are so high that it's just up to the variance gods mostly.

Oh and Galfond is a ****** for folding predraw in the bonus hand even if he has an ace high straight. He's def getting odds to discard all 5 cards even at this limit.

If he can lose $70k in the last 90 minutes (semi-normal downswong at these stakes...odds greater than 1%), $7k should mean ~nothing...I'm also tilted that spidey won over $20k in the last hour he played.

Hey, rake is almost non-existent at high stakes. Recheck your theory.

i was mislead by the thread title even though its accurate. whenever i hear "pockets" i instantly equate it to stealing money from charity or something.

I doubt he cares much about the 7k if he's playing 500-1k 2-7 TD ^^

grats to him though.

You mean he made good videos. He makes videos infrequently now and never blogs on BFP. It used to be my favorite training site by far, now i couldn't recommend it to anyone.

7k is a lot of money, but it's not LIFE CHANGING money.

the meta game implications of folding the hand outweigh the $3k or so in EV lost by doing it
