Default Neverwin on 100/200 6-max early this morning (Feb 15)

Did anyone else catch this??? He sat down with 10k at around 2:30 am EST. By about 6 am he was at 37k and he left with about 33k. Now I'm no mathematician. But single-tabling at the 100/200 level and bringing down in the ball park of 125 big bets in a few hours seems absurd. I've only seen it done a handful of times in my 500,000 hand career, and I've never come close to winning that many BBs from one table. Neverwin did it at the ONLY 100/200 table against presumably pretty tough competition (kbh04 was there for example).

And he did it by playing probably 70% of his hands. It was a poker clinic to say the least.

So just wondering if anyone else saw this or wanted to discuss the mechanics of how he pulled it off.

Yeah I think he played some more this afternoon and he might have dumped some money back because for that early morning session is was definitely $23k he walked out with.

And there's no doubt in my mind he was running good, but I guess the lesson to be learned here is that I don't know a single player in the universe who could come close to neverwin in terms of making that much money on his good run. I mean people run good all the time. But no one would have made nearly as much sitting in the exact same seat and playing the exact same cards.

Of course on the flipside, had he ran sour he probably would have lost more than others would...

He had some sick hands. Like one hand he 3-bets preflop and button caps it... 3 take the flop of AQ3 it goes check, NW bets, button raises, NW 3-bets, button calls. Turn is a T NW bets button calls. River is a K completing a flush draw and (obviously) the gutshot straight. NW bets, button raises, NW thinks for a second (which you notice because everything NW does at the poker table is lightning fast with no hesitation) then he 3-bets. Button calls and NW drags the pot with QQ, trip Qs. Button had AK. If you think about it it is an absolutely amazing read. In that microsecond he put button on AK and 3-bet it, even though he was beat by AA, KK, any J and the flush. And if you think about how the hand went down, he was completely correct that the only hand button could have was AK.

Neverwin is notorious for going on some sick heaters as well as chunking it off faster than you can blink. I'm goona go out on a limb and say his standard deviation is a bit on the high side.

Also, considering he usually plays bigger than 100/200 these days, he definitly could have been just screwing around.

Yeah you might be right. The thing that I like about Neverwin is that he's an old-school gambler. He doesn't think about his expectation per 100 hands at such-and-such level, and how if he plays x number of tables at y limit he can make z dollars per hour... he just plays. He just sits down, plays his best... He might not play every day, or every week, and his income might go way up or way down along with his bankroll, but he doesn't seem to care. He truly lets the money take care of itself.
