Re: Benyamine (and others) on FT omaha
Every time I watch the 200/400 game it just looks like they're a bunch of idiots who don't understand the game- Benyamine included.
Look, I can't discredit his vast winnings, but the majority of people in this game are playing REALLY badly. Hansen, Juanda, Harmon, are all really bad, so comparatively Benyamine should be good, even though I strongly believe that most successful 25/50 PLO players would beat him HU.
I know a guy playing the 200/400 game who also plays the 1k/2k o8 and not only do I watch the hands, he also sends me hands he's in, and I've see some of the unreal hands the losing players muck. The board will be paired and 2-flushed and guys will be calling the 3rd bet allin with an unsuited semi-wrap and a pair. The 'big game' on FTP is really sad to not be able to get into when you understand just how bad most of them are.
