seeems like something i should see.
youtube link?
i kind of like the way pra wears his heart on his sleave in what is a very brutal game.

a side note.....
often my friends will start playing internet poker and i'll be able to predict with nearly 100% accuracy whether they will be get addicted or not. it's fairly simple... people who tend to thrive on adrenaline get addicted. pra is clearly a very excitable, adrenaline-fueled guy (though, like me, he basically seems calm) --- i think this comes through in his chat and his behavior in front of the cameras. that said, i've seen only a small portion of his tv coverage from the 06 main.

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.
