Yeah, I believed that you probably did suck at the non-holdem games, but if hands like this O8 hand and the razz hand that's in that video above are the evidence, gimme a fkn break.

Not the forum for strategy, I guess, but for those interested, the O8 hand is standard except that you should probably raise/fold flop (fold if there's no way he's betting w/o a flush, raise if this is likely to make sure the 3rd player doesn't draw to his backdoor low). The razz hand I'm not positive about, but I think probably the initial raise/complete is a mistake, but then since you have to call given the pot odds, you do best if you get it HU. Then he jams 3rd so you're forced to take cards off getting big odds and you draw out. nhs.

Nice read by Mikey, but looks like overall hoss was the 2nd best razz player at the table.

Still no evidence that Pumppu is not the best in the world right now...

he was a fairly significant loser in the 1k/2k O8 game from the last big datamine we had (when the big games got started in 06)

No evidence that I'm not the best in the world either.

I practically ran Benyamine over yesterday at the 25K HU event, pure ownage.

The game he played yesterday was very far away from anything worldclass. Must've been his D-game or something. And a player who can go as low as a D-game or similar cannot be one of the best in the world.

Played "Spiked" and Antonius also and they were much, much better.

Well said but we're talking Omaha.

ORLY? So you played a known NLHE fish and determined he wasn't as good as PA, ok.....

The guy is a complete animal. He puts in as many hours in poker as anyone. He seems more than able to adapt, even if it seemed like for a long time he was putting in sick hours just for the sake of it.

Even though Hoss ruined him again he admitted
"Without knowing it was David, if you told me the guy I've been playing has been one of the biggest winners in poker over the last 20 years, I wouldn't have been surprised in the least; it's pretty clear to me that he has a great poker mind."

Thoughts?

Well, i'll prolly throw up the whole HH at a Danish forum. Check it there and make your own opinion. I stand by mine.

I thought the discussion was about the best allround player. So if he's terrible at NLH, why shouldn't that be accounted for?

This is a good point that NLH is definately his weakest game.

I still dont think it stops him from being the best all round player in the world right now but I do think it makes it closer between him and Ivey in all round games.
