Re: Prahlad, awesome poker - or dumb ego?

I agree. The 9 2 hand was just a stupid play that happened to work out. The hand with 6 3 and the all-in move with the busted flush draw was strong poker indeed, given that he knew what he was doing, which I believe he did.
He didnt bluff raise him on the turn though like you were writing. He made a continuation bet on the flop from SB or BB, and lisandro mucked his hand. And after all he was defending his blinds, and it gives him a big edge showing how willing he is to defend it to the whole table when he shows the bluff. So by second thought its not a stupid play, but I wouldnt call it good either.

1a. You absolutely have to be capable of plays like this to be a long term winner in any kind of poker where the effective stack size is more than 10BB.
1b. Prahald is hardly inventing the wheel with this line and I'm really surprised its getting any discussion at all.
2. From Lisandro's seat, I am more likely to attack Prahlad's blind since he is willing to defend it oop with absolute garbage.
