hopefully soon you will get to the poker players life stage of playing on feel. when you just trust your gut that the flop is going to come favourable. obviously h@ll has mastered this well and that's why he dominates day in and day out.

Everyone has leaks.

He's been working hard at cracking Partys RNG. Obviously he's gotten there. But shhh. Don't tell anyone.

[Bill King]

he's an animal. pure and simple.

the reason he wins is nobody has any clue what he has ever, and you are forced to make a hand against him.

its hard to hit the flop. he knows that. and he has a disgusting bankroll and can play purely on feel b/c hes one of, if not the best online NL player.

Looks like some serious nuthugging fanboy gone overboard. H@ll is a formidible player but from everything I've seen he's alwyas been very prone to making loose calls pf vs short & mid stacks, frankly I'm amazed the short stackers don't swarm to his & twin-caracs' tables on stars even though they can't rathole there.

LOL are you out of your mind!!! those are two of the best NL players on stars.


before they started playing 25/50 (and most of the 25/50 guys on stars were playing 10/20 before) H@ll was rated the winningest player at the 10/20 NL games <u>on the entire online poker world</u>

last i checked its worth trying to figure out what he does because its working.

[IHateCats]

H@ll &amp; twin's results come from deep stack SH play, not from beating short stackers in &gt; 6 handed games. &amp; both play a very aggro LAG style PF that is horribly vulernable to short stacking &amp; both rarely downshift because of short stacks so your nut hugging aside, I'm still surprised that short stackers don't cluster at their tables, it's got nothing to do with their post flop skills.
