I wonder if he is just a very strong LAG NLHE MYY player who doesm't know how to play HORSE.

These things often go together. I'm not sure, but doesn't he have a lot of experience with LHE? Either way, I'd have him pegged as a LAGfish in the stud games just from reputation. btw, anyone want to capture some razz HH's from the replay and post them?

He actually did pretty well, finishing 3rd and having a big lead when it got HU. Some of his LAG approach seemed to work.

I had a feeling that he didn't know the games and didn't know how to play limit in general. In fact, his stud hi play seemed the worst of anything. He was calling with middle card hands in O/8. He called raises a lot out of the SB with junk in all games. Maybe some really bad multistreet calldowns. In holdem, he 3-bet an UTG raiser UTG+1 with JTo.

Basically, he played like a typical LAG young Internet MTT pro, who only knew NLHE, but he probably was a strong enough player to do well anyway.

This is more than just LAG, it's approaching maniac. I watched some of his O/8 play, and if I can tell you he played awful junk and won with it then it must be pretty obvious.

[/ QUOTE ] Whenever I watch one of these guys do this - and win - I always think they must be smart on some stratospheric level I can't even begin to fathom.
