the average PLO pots are much bigger than NLHE and theres a lot more action in PLO (because of more possible draws, duh).

thats why i think farha is getting the best of this match ev wise. with the sick swings in PLO it could turn out for either one of them.

and yes, i also think farhas experience in live games give him the edge.

um the big PLO pots will be coinflip-ish(60/40 to 50/50), so while the pots will be bigger the edge one player has will be smaller

why don't the big HA games run on FTP considering how so many play both

For The Record: Is this a HUHU 2000k fight yo?! after Sammy's comment to Brian on HSP about how he wouldn't look at him like that even if he loved him?

i just wanted to say El D you have been very funny lately please keep it up and good luck Brian.

funny story: brian, andrew, and i had a meeting this morning for CR. We were supposed to meet at the bellagio for breakfast to discuss some things. We got there and Brian was in Bobby's room playing Sammy and told us "Sorry, guys, can't make breakfast." We told him this is unacceptable and the only way it would be okay is if Sammy agreed to make some PLO videos. Sammy agreed and the match was on, Brian missed breakfast.

Based on what people in the know say and that nl is included I think Brian has an edge as well but I'm also pretty sure Farha isn't the plo donkey some make him out to be.

For what it's worth, and obviously a hu cash game is different, he did actualy win the plo championship last year beating Ivey hu in the end.

He has also probably locked countless of hours playing live plo with both Benyamine and Patrik, AND is still not busto.

Then there are the stories about him being up millions in recent months.

I'm sure the man can play a little.

No matter what, an extremely interesting matchup for countless of reasons.

edit: my bad that was hi lo he won last year. Won the plo even further back.

There is an interview with Sammy on Pokernews.nl, it's in english to. Here you go: Interview with sammy it's below the dutch crap.

There he also says that Jamie Gold probably dumped half of the money in the big game that he won for the main event. It's a pretty good interview to.
