new poker term:
egar'd - to lose a vast chip lead at the end of a tournament, especially during heads up play.
example: I had a huge chip lead and thought I had it won, but then I got totally egar'd.

i never thought i'd see the sunday million end with the same all-in every hand strategy i've seen fail so many times at $1 sngs.

Donald (Raul Mestre) is one of the best Spanish players and years ago was a top european Magic player too. He comes from limit holdem (100-200 +)with a huge winrate during maybe amillion hands, i dont know how many but a lot. Now he is starting to play NL tourneys both online and live (he is playing 100% sponsored the all EPT tour, EWSOP and more).

in a spanish forum he said the he was pushing every hand at the end because he doesnt have yet much experience HU and wanted to denie his opponents advantage postflop.

In his own words "The reason for pushing was simple: he was better than me postflop. When that happens i prefer to play preflop with (15bb) all ins in order to try to double up and offer him a chop again. He knows that if i play this way his edge is no more than 7%."

no way Donald is a donk event tought he can get sometimes a litle too agroo IMO.

I watched Raul Mestre on Late Night Poker Ace and he was terrible on that and got so lucky

i'm pretty sure it works incredibly well in $1 SnGs though.
