Benyamine Sucks?
I read an interview with Benyamine a year ago and he talked about how he never read a poker book and how he was just really lucky. Is it possible that he is one of the super luckboxes that Malmuth talks about running good for up to 2 years without really being any good? What is the deal with this guy? Some of his hand histories are pathetic. Is he just a steamer or playing around or does he just really really suck?

Seems to be a winner in everything, albeit with huge swings, except when it comes to no limit holdem.

Re: Benyamine Sucks?
I know one thing: Benyamine seems to be at a table at fulltilt every time! That guy is in a game 24 hours a day (ok, everybody sleeps at least once a week). Honestly, it`s unreal how much Benyamine plays online.

I read it in a magazine, not Cardplayer, but maybe Bluff or All In, or one of the others. It might not have been quite a year ago either.

Re: Benyamine Sucks?
Running good for 2 years? This is ridiculus. No way he could move to this levels if he sucked.
I'm suprised that even on 2+2 people think luck is such a big factor if poker. If you can't win its because YOU suck, not Benyamine. Well he may suck compared to Aba, but i'm sure he could beat 99% of the people on 2+2 |

Running good for 2 years? This is completely normal that in the set of all poker players, one player will be very lucky for a two year span. This is explained by an entry level understanding of statistics. In fact, it would be strange if there was NOT a person who DERBed it up over a two year span [/ QUOTE ] FYP. I am not saying Benyamine is DERB. I am just saying that due to the high number of poker players someone will have unreal luck for extended periods of time and that is completely normal. |
