But not this time!



We LLove LLinus!!!

Unreal how this guy runs in every format he plays in

and 1 tables 10knl right after

A beacon of light in a world devoid of justice.

Congrats, what a boss!

Saw that he did take down the quoted tournament (WCOOP30-H) for $250k. So how should that be interpreted - downswing for great player confirmed over, or just a lagtard on another heater?

sounds like a backers rainy day fund most likely.

no idea about his situation, and that was a joke, but some people would be surprised how little "crushing" "crushers" do from time to time.

80k games quite the downswing!

It must be fun being extremely good at poker on top of running quite well

Isildur 4/9 in the 8 game with 225k up top, Looks like Stars was 4 entrants (40k) short of the guarantee...

Colisea walked Isildur when Isi had 3 big blinds or so (Holdem on the final table of the 10k 8game

Harleyy30040: srsly..........

isi was in the bb for less than 2bb, coli gives him a walk after shoving just about every hand before that.

the amount of blatant collusion in these high rollers is disgusting

Doesn't look like the type of fella to give Isi a walk there!

He was on the SB? could have been a missclick, or he could have checked the fold button before seeing the action of the other players...

edited: which isn't a good excuse for a pro, but people make mistakes

good thing 2p2 detectives are on the case!

(seriously though, in spots like this large stacks benefits greatly from having one person very short stacked to keep others in ICM check, wether or not it's a legit strat, it has been discussed many times in similiar spots)

But I think the other guy also only had one round of blinds, so it was just a question which one busted sooner. I'm guessing since I don't understand nothing about tourneys.

Harleyy30040 had a stack the same size as isil (ie nothing) but would be all in after isil, which is why he's freaking out over it

It's also likely why colisea, as the biggest (?) stack at the table folded, since with 2 people with 2bb and massive pay jumps it greatly benefits him in a nlhe round

He was clearly the biggest, no doubt. But why did Naza questioned his play... Naza is not the best poker player at that table, but he studied more ICM situations than anyone on there or on this thread combined I'm pretty sure. Maybe it was just self-interest as he was one of the middle stacks.

Yeah, not sure what stacks were, but mixed tends to play fairly shallow so each bb adds up quick. Lots of very valid points already brought up that dont need to be recycled.

In general less than 2bb should be a snap get-in. 3 is a way more serious consideration imo in limit format. I know I've misclick folded at least once at a FT before realizing the big was essentially all-in. I wouldn't rush to judgement, but if I were short I'd probably wtf

Dimitry folded SB with Isildur having like 2.5bb total and it was folded round to them iirc

Who do you guys think has the bigger edge in a WCOOP $5k main event, C. Darwin2 or LLinusLLove?

Neither. Neutral edge, both players just chop the nuts every pot.
