I heard my name and I woke up!

I really don't know... it seems PLO is more fashionable at the moment, more of a gamblng game. But there were still lots of dedicated high stakes NLHE players and they also seem to have disappeared.

Presumably everyone is too robusto or busto to play any more, as Mr Voight says.

I agree with Luckyjimm, all the big guns are playing PLO right now....alot more action there, and its where you can make/lose money much faster.

The thing is though, a month or two ago both games ran frequently, with players like Krantz, Perky and many more who favoured NLHE. I'm mystified as to why the games have dried up, really.

Yeah, super-sick. Not long ago he lost £63k in a night. Now he's borrowing off friends. The state he's in at the moment, he just CAN'T win. Even if he turns £1k into £10k he'll play on till he loses it. His addiction to gambling, his sickness, has completely overwhelmed whatever skill he might have had at the game. There's no hope for him unless he stops completely, at least for a few months, and sorts his life out. He needs a job, certainly.

might be a reason tho

but what about lars? why is no1 playing him, he sits all day long @nosebleed but no competition!
IVEY, PA, durr etc... should play him or maybe IDOJ

!

but the thing about PLO is true its running pretty often now compare to NLH.

EDIT: interesting that DB is still playing these stakes. it seems like hes never going busto???whats up with him luckyjimm?

i love how jimm went from being hated by most, loved by the few who cared about poker, to being the go-to-guy when it came to answering questions about nosebleed NLHE.

Congrats Jimm, you've earned it!!
