Also ,what do u think of those taking shots on those big games vs him and sauce. I mean it's mind blowing how they look outmatcht by this 2 in so many spots .It's like the "Isil and sauce show" vs 10 scary boyscouts folding 6 out of 7 river pot bets. This can never be optimal game plan so why play this game if u are out of your comfort zone.

Also, do u think Navas is benites man or should they sigh either way de Gea in de winter.

Tesekkur abi

i dont know how good isil is at these games and how good these guys are. i think in general ppl dont understand how meaningless shortterm results are. i guess a guy like berri sweet (from what ive seen) is losing like 100bb/100 so far in these games. its pretty straightforward such extreme outcomes on small sample dont mean much at all. even if hes underdog, he might easily have won 80bb/100 as well (losing 100bb as -20bb player is as likely as winning +80bb). i dont think hes losing more than 20bb/100 on average

playing out of comfort zone is prolly not wise

they gonna sign de gea super likely in winter. hes better than navas but navas was treated very bad, as its always the case

He'll be brunt out by thirty and probably suffering from a ton of stress related illnesses.

Or maybe he genuinely doesn't give a ****.

Also, it would be great if you could give your thoughts on this river raise, it seems seriously weird and as though Isil is turning his 25678 into a bluff? That, or a misclick. Seems absurdly thin/bad if it's for value, with Ivey already leading into a pat.

Would have been a good play by takloss to call Iveys lead with a 7 hoping for Isi to smell weakness and raise the river thinking he could get takloss to fold a similar strength hand.

Dynamics tho

I got a m8 thats the same as isildur1 in the respect that he just loves to play & apply pressure. Most thought he would be burned out too but is still at it.
Has an attitude that you really can't tell if hes up or down & is at total comfort being in & around gambling. He's not a drinker or a smoker but does partake.
Some ppl just are not cut out for a routine & thats fine by me.

I don't know to much about deuce to seven but after the hand raul does the "PHEW" face so was curious as to why.. I thought it was cause they had the exact same hand.

He's back at it. Playing both HU vs Zugwat at $1k/2k 2-7, and HU vs Ravens at $4/800 8-game.

Edit: Oh nvm, he just quit vs Ravens, because of the action vs Zugwat.

I am rooting for isildur (ldo) but I dunno. No idea of eithers 2-7 skill but Zugwats been around a long time and has always done well against anyone whatever he's played.

He and Zugwat already played a ton of hands, over many sessions (like 2-4 months ago), and this did not happen. Zugwat's tough.

(and I do play a ton of 2-7)

Well I assume that Blom and Raul don't play eachother HU anymore, as they're friends and ex(/future) business partners.

I don't think Viktor has ever picked opponents using what their overall skill level is as the deciding factor.

"Isildur1 is 9th on the list of biggest poker winners tracked by HighstakesDB." It's hard to deny this guy's talent, whether you're a fan or not.

The guy who played PA/PI/Durr at the same time does most certainly not give two ****s about who he plays.

Is it possible to lose 1milly on td 1k/2k hu. I think if Isil plays zugwat long enough this may happen.

Damn. Isil has gone on a - $200k downswing so far against Zugwat in the last hour or 2.

^ And yes, obviously it's possible. But lol at the results-orientatedness of people, seemingly because of a swing in 90 minutes.
