Why is Benyamine such a loser in HSNL?

[gregorio]

Why are you asking this about DB instead of a bigger name with bigger losses.

According to highstakes.nu, DB is not in the top 10 as a winner or loser at HSNL since the beginning of the year. Big names in top 10 losses are

Luigi66369 $-692.511,95
Gus Hansen $-499.018,90
Ram Vaswani $-445.324,50
Mike Matusow $-429.635,15

I guess you'd think PA is -EV at HSNL, too?

No, but every thread that mentions the HSNL games says "Oh well BENYAMINE is a MILLION in the hole. He should just play PLO". Is he really outskilled, running bad, playing poorly but I just read his reputation as a player isn't that great as a NL player and wondering why that is?

[Army Eye]

He is a great NL player who is maybe playing against the top 3 or 4 NL players in the world.

And who knows, maybe he plays him in their game so they in turn give him action in PLO, where he has a massive edge.

For accuracy's sake, I believe magicpitch1, ballsrider, and
davidbenyamine1 are also accounts that DB used before he became a FT pro and was limited to 1 account.

He's down considerably in NLHE this year, but more than made up for it at PLO.

The guy is way to tired to be playing, but he such a junkie he cant quit. Thats my theory

Nope. Probably he play 24h, then tennis, then play again before bed (or erica [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])

Your post doesn't make any sense. He is specifically asking why a player with a (and I'm quoting him directly here) "world class reputation" is a loser in HSNL games. Gus and Matusow are legitimate fish at the nosebleed stakes. I don't know what people think of Ram, but while there may not be games forming around him, none of the top players would be complaining if he sat either.

As far as Antonius, the guy is up several million dollars in the past year+ across several games. If he has a leak, no one has spotted it.

Anyway I have no idea why DB's results are what they are. It's possible that his marathon sessions contribute to his poor showings. If he doesn't have that great a relative edge in NL vs the players he plays regularly AND he isn't playing fresh (while they are) this could make him -EV a lot of the time.
