Note: If anyone feels like I'm spamming in this thread please let me know, I try to have some relevant content in each post (or replying to other new posts).

I had to post this, Ziigmund = a boss

Whats stopping someone like Galfond on sitting in? **** these guys, if they want to sit out waiting for a fish than Galfond should just sit in and sitout so nobody can play.

A quick Q: Would Zig be a better player if he was mentally sane? I mean how ridic would he be if he didn't go on tilt, properly select tables/opponents/playing hours not and blowing big parts of his roll when stoned/high/wasted?

Or is this insanity just part of his greatness?

Always puzzles me... I mean, no disrespect at all, it was pretty -EV for Unger to do drugs, imagine howmmuch value he missed by being dead for so many years now... If he didn't do drugs, he might have single-handedly destroyed the poker economy during the boom in the last 10 years. Doing a little heroine here and there cost him dearly. Just saying...

People still think some tournament donk who ran hot in couple of tournaments was the greatest player of all time?

funny how earlier ilari wouldnt play sauce123, called him a nit & no action after ilari stacked him 20k, almost looked like a hit and run. And now all of a sudden here they are playing heads up. weird

man zigg is really stackin off his chips now. Forget how many reraises there were on the flop but zig insisted his set was good vs an obvious straight. 104k pot hoping the board woudl pair I guess. Whats wrong with this guy?

He definitely spews at times but you picked the wrong hand to criticize, it was completely standard, both players played perfectly but the set-up was on Sauce's side

ok I looked it over again I thought there was more action on the flop so you are correct there, the spot I didnt like is ziggs reraise, he was committed to call all in after that I agree but its like he knew the guy had a straight but wanted to stack it off anyway. I've seen it numerous times. I love to watch him play cause its good action but damn man i feel bad. I see him steam in chat sometimes but look at how he plays. Esp the last hand he played 3 way pot. He was coin flipping what 100k

I'm not trying to be a dick and I don't think you were either, but why not give your own thoughts on the hand and explain why his might be flawed, instead of just telling him how horrible you think his analysis is??
