was sweating a 1/2 today and doughnutz is apparently up a further $400k since this thread. the beat goes on!

he's an absolute champion. as far as i can see his strategy appears to be "just raise the turn every single hand and see what happens"

it doesn't matter if he's ahead in the hand, behind in the hand, fold equity or no fold equity, just jack it. if behind? get there.

limit holdem is an absolute farce and nobody wants to admit it

ok i just raised TT in cutoff i think, 6 max game. doughnutz 3 bets K8o out of the big blind, i cap it. naturally it comes K high of course, but let's not talk about that. the more important question: is his preflop 3 bet ever correct in a million years? why would someone put 3 bets in out of position with an offsuit king and an eight. can someone please talk about this? thanks.

also seems like, i have 99 right, i cap preflop. it comes Q high and i get checkraised. ok so i call down and see the Q, cool. so is that bad play or unlucky? i mean they NEVER FOLD A PAIR ever!! they call underpairs all day long. i can put the 4th bet in preflop in a 3 way pot, 3 bet the flop, and bet the hand down and they will call with a pair of 5's in their hand. of course, when they do i have AK for no pair. i really would like one of the true experts of this game to explain it to me.
