Also, I think it is funny that Benyamine apparently thinks its ok to sometimes open limp a pocket pair, something that would normally draw criticism here.

Out of the 2p2ers that have actually played with Benyamine almost all of them think he is terrible so its not like his play is necessarily good here.

Did anyone fall out of their chairs on the Brunson/Gold hand flush vs flush hand? I cannot f.cking believe what an imbecile Jamie Gold is. I think I could play .10/.25 NL with Jamie Gold for a month and win his whole roll.

Gold is terrible. His tells give away everything.

I think Brunson read Jamie correctly, in that Gold thought he had the best hand. Doyle forget that Jamie might think a 9 high flush was the nuts.

Going along with what CDL said,

The 2+2er's I've talked with irl have all said Benyamine is probably the biggest loser in the online nosebleed stakes. I'm not sure how his live results pan out.

as long as we are off-topic, this happens alot when I play live

I have a read that a villain really likes his hand. However, since the villain has little idea of what a good hand is, it does me little good

One other important factor that influences the dynamics of the High Stakes Poker game is the fact that there are also antes posted.

I think what you have to keep in mind when watching and and judging HSP is how incredibly deep those guys play. I watch it quite frequently and IMO it's a completely different game from what we play online. Therefore all this limping with 55, calling raises with 64os stuff...

P.S.: Damn true, David Benyamine is making a whole lot of money with PLO, HORSE and O8. And you have to give him credit, he is never afraid of playing the highest stakes at FT against everyone...

I try to withhold judgment for the most part. We get to see 25 hands over the course of a season. Doesn't probably tell the whole story. There are surely on-line, mid-stack HU specialists that could clean their collective clocks at those games, but most of those guys won their way up to high stakes. They can't all be just lucky.
