HU limit holdem with deep stacks is not about measuring losses with BB's...it is about winning more than you are losing in the long run....Losing 30 BB's over several days means that you were a loser in the game...how is that "not bad at all."?Like I said...it's put up or shut up time....My point was simply that he was playing an elite field and it was over the period of several days. Had Beal simply walked when he was ahead over a million proven anything? The answer IMO is no, just as having a net loss of 3 million over the several days is not very conclusive either.

That show is a joke.

These players aren't realistically looking at hourly expectation and rake. They just want to toss chips around and have a few drinks.

Losing 30 bb in heads up hold em over several days is not bad at all. I wonder what the average pot size was.

Honestly i don't think it's very easy to say who has an edge in this game and how big it may be. There are too many different players, that are playing for various amounts of time.

That's pretty hilarious. He has logged more hours at the highest limits ever played than anyone else, and he was playing best players in the world. I really wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Beal. Factor in loss aversion, and i think that the pros are skating on a pretty thin edge, if any at all.

The crazy thing is that 10 mil is barely anything at these stakes, that could be a few hands.

Joking right? Why wouldn't you want to play with someone like that? When the money means nothing to someone in a cash game they tend to play worse than they would if the money meant something.

Depending on how many players pool together they may only be risking around 4k - 8k of their money per bet. Whoever does join the 2nd corporation must trust eachother a whole lot to take up a game like this.

Beal seemed most afraid of Lederer. That's not to say he would necessarily be the best though.

I don't think it was so much that Harmon changed gears, but she said that she could just feel when he was bluffing. I think that's more what you meant, because from what i remember it was Forrest that first tried to play more conservatively.

I found this pretty funny, since you know, never happened SmileAhhh, journalism at its finest...I read the book awhile ago, but if i remember correctly he was ahead a little over $10 million at one point. It was when they took a group picture and Doyle was making sure that they let him have his moment of triumph. He didn't necessarily bust them, but i'm sure he did hurt some of them pretty badly.

wasn't DN one of the biggest losers in that game!?!? I don't get GSN, but that's the impression I got from his blog and other stuff...I don't know.I was referring to the first night's broadcast. I was too busy at the tables tonight to watch the new one, hopefully they will show it again soon though.

Forrest and DN seemed to own everyone. Forrest has some really solid reads, still didn't work out as the best night for him, but i'm sure he's gonna turn it all around.

That's pretty hilarious. Were you joking?

Being a good gambler means finding edges and taking advantage of them. I think that's an acceptable way to look at all types of gambling, including poker.

That would be interesting.

Wouldn't his huge tell have led him to fold his gutshot draw against top two instead of reraising it?

Ted Forrest is the man. I love watching his moves, he controls the whole table of elite pros.

Stud has the biggest edge for sure.

You'd have to be multitabling and playing very well to earn $50/hr at 3/6.$50 per hour is possible at 3-6, but it's not necessarily easy.

What does poker tracker have to do with being a winning player? The most likely reason that you cannot win online but can live is that you are not adapting to opponents enough. In a live game you are playing against much more predictable and less skilled players. You can play extremely tight and still manage to get plenty of action when you catch in a live game, but online those players seem to get eaten alive.

The funny thing is that this is probably theredpill's least offensive and most thought out thread.

I would say that it's slightly more likely for him to have an overpair than two overs. I say call and reevaluate on the turn.

...but yeah, writing skills are so not rocks n' rings.
