You guys keep saying Farha is the sick degen, did you miss the part where Brian wrote that he would have done a 450k if he had more money on him.

[/ QUOTE ]
thats because sammy wanted to gamble on a -ev spot and aba had an edge in this spot. if aba had enuf mone to cover him for the rest of the serie why woudnt he take sammys offer in this spot???

[/ QUOTE ] yeah since there are always good odds for one party in a blind omaha flip. 10K overall to the flip is not +EV relatively speaking, especially on these terms- its a gamble, unless Rugby flips for a million dollars on a daily basis. Now everyone who hates Sammy can call him crazy and insane in a negative way, even though Brian would have agreed. Now everyone is going to focus on Sammy's flip degeneracy, instead of the fact Brian went down over 1.2 million dollars, and the match ended pretty much even. Now for another 50 pages, "Sammy is a lucky fish, long term Brian smokes him." How do you know

How do you beat 2% ROI outside of poker in something that takes less than 1 minute?
