i think he might have made the move on purpose...?

but also agree he looks like scared money...

dont know if you've seen the last 6-8 episodes of poker after dark but he was pretty woeful on that too.

His plays are just horrendously mistifying

Best place for him IMO.

bantee

I can't explain why the hell Laak raised to 50k preflop with aces. If a total noob donkey-fish did something similar to that in any tournament/cash game, the whole table would piss themselves laughin.
He played the ace-high flush draw hand so passively too that Viffer couldn't help but fire the 2nd bullet on the river.
Somebody shake him!!!

Strange thou watching him playing at the open he seemed to play ok, pulling a move or two.

Oops my bad, thought he was an online guy.

What drugs is Viffer on? He looks like he's out of his mind. Laak is a travesty

NickyOD

I actually think Laak played bad because he wasn't as stoned like he usually is.

He used to be, I played a lot with him in the past when he played on Stars with a funny Buckwheat avatar, he rarely plays online anymore. Now he plays the big NLHE game in the Bellagio that's like 100/200 button 500 with a 100k buy in. He does well.

I've only just watched the Durr/Barry/Eastgate hand for the first time.

I cannot believe some of you monkeys are questioning this play. It is pure ownage, and it is a beautiful, beautiful sight to belold. Guys like Dwan and CTS make the game greater than the sum of its parts - they imbue it with a transcendance and beauty that a bunch of boring playing cards have no right to have. Questioning this or second-guessing it as FPS or spew is just sooooo missing the point of this game we play.

Overall, Dwan got great cards and definitely ran well, but only philistines don't realise that what makes great artists special - George Best, Pablo Picasso, Terence Malik, John Coltrane - is that they make it look effortless. Add Dwan to that list.

Also, this is what makes cash play so, so, so much more superior that donkament play. You would never see this in a tourney (and by "this", I mean people playing poker).


Ed: Might as well add the hand in case anyone missed it:

I recall most people saying the hand was pure brilliance, tbh.

If I'd meant most, I would have said most. But since I meant some, I said some. I keep hearing this country has an educated workforce, but I believe that less with each passing day.

I'll bet you are good at pool. There's a kind of slackerish ennui about your post that suggests to me you spent a lot of your time drinking cider over a pool table, and that you should probably read and bathe more. One of my fundamental rules in life is to never, ever trust anyone who is good at pool.

If that read is wrong, that's fine because I am a bitter small stakes rakeback pro, so I make a living from getting reads wrong. It's what I do for a living.

Does anyone on this message board have an ounce of romance their soul? You fkn people are the most miserable bunch of degenerates I've ever come across.

I give you a 4 out of 10 on the troll scale. Must work harder.

Ironic mis-use of the standard comma? Let us go through the rest of this trollish post and show how, despite your disparaging remarks about the education of others, your post contains many errors of basic punctuation which any primary school child should know.

The first example does look like the Oxford comma; however as the Oxford comma is used almost exclusively in a list of items when preceding a grammatical conjunction we can see that, in your example, it is in fact a hanging comma with no definable purpose.

The second comma, however, is obviously designed to create a pause and while many linguicists disagree on the usage I tend to think your usage here is acceptable although it belies a laziness in your sentence structure which one might be so bold as to describe as "slackerishly ennui" were it not for your unnecessarily prolix post.

Very poor repetition here. A definite sign of someone with substandard writing skills. Very poor repetition:rolleyes:

I suppose I can chalk this up to a typo on your part?


Just one more thing... (Columbo-esque)

You go back and forth between using contractions such as "I'm", "I'll" and "you're" and using the full expressions "I am", "I will" and "you are". This inconsistency is really nothing to get worked up over but if you are going to cast aspersions over the intellectual capacities of other posters may I suggest you do so only when your own intelligence is beyond reproach?

Grammar Nazi of the highest order :pac:

I am good at pool, but am unconcerned at you not trusting me as a result. you don't need to trust me, and I don't need you to trust me, so we'll both be fine.

I do protest, however, that I bathe probably too regularly, and get carbon guilt as a result. In fact I am doing up my bathroom at the moment and replaced a brand new bath with an even bigger one to facilitate more leisurely, stretch-legged and female accompanied bathing. Cider occasionally, fiction reading perhaps too little. Use of phrases like slackerish ennui nil as a result.

Hey Kayroo,

I usually put commas in where bolded above. I assume you were being extra careful about your punctuation since you were criticising somebody else's, so is my usage incorrect or is there some leeway to do whatever you think looks/sounds better?

In that context you could get away with either. As I was intent on using parenthetical commas to exclude the expression, "we can see that" from the main sentence so as to use it as the set up to the final part of the sentence to avoid cluttered clauses I chose to exclude them on that occasion.

Hope that clears it up. It was merely an editorial choice on my point to assist with clarity.

Im not gonna use spell check anymore if you can do it for me Kayroo?

FYP.

There are actually a number of other problems with this sentence but I'll let it slide:rolleyes:

Seriously though; I hate being a grammar nazi and I only do it when someone is as condescending as Treehouse was.
