Haha, yes I am. In my defense, I really wanted to know what you had and since fish just busted and table was about to break I figured you might be three betting me with some AQ-AJ/KQ-KJ as well and turn these into bluffs. I was like: "If he shows up with AK here, imma cry..." So well, there you go...

He definitely was a winner over a big sample tracked on PTR. Marginal, but a winner no less. I am almost 100% on this...

IIRC he was a winner at 100 eur and 100PL and a slight loser over some 4MM hands at 100 USD. combined winnings were > 0

hand 1 is fine by tacuba, and his opponent obviously played it terribly. hand 2 is bad by tacuba, and again his opponent played it terribly. dude's kind of an enigma to me because he seems like a huge clown, but often has monster stacks while seemingly having a very small winrate

Okay got inspired by that hand. Now playing on Stars. Looking for a whole bunch of tables with Stone in them. Hopefully this strategy still a good one.

It's relatively easy to have big stacks when you are playing long sessions and not change table. Obviously, when you are switching tables every 2 orbits, it's kind of hard to have more than 200bbs.

Fairly easy to do when you just choose a hand with any equity and shove all in.

The guy spews like crazy. It doesn't matter if he's got 500 bbs on a table if he's in for 550 bbs.

Ur contradicting urself, how can u spew with equity? Tacuba much better than everyone gives him credit, I predict him crushing higher stakes in 8 months. (no joke/level).

He's like a more aggro, less experienced, hot headed Helen Gamble on Cocaine.

spew with equity: you can have a naked flush draw/2nd pair, know you're ****canned against your opponents continuing range, and 4bet shove AI when your c/r gets 3bet

this is underrated

people could show a set face up and sometimes youd still have to shove the pair+fd
