Default Farha

I just watched all of season 4 and here's my impression.

1) he is a joke preflop
2) he reads hands well and plays aggro postflop
3) he plays well postflop
4) His preflop innacuracies fail to be patched by his postflop play.

I'm just a little confused as to how someone who i think is pretty good could continue to play like this?

obv i still think he is an awesome guy. honestly i't like, if he were to fold a hand preflop it seems to me he might do pretty well.

Because he doesn't care. He's (presumably) loaded big time and loves to gamble.

Sort of like if you just launched some NL25 tables for old times sake and just spewed money everywhere and laughed.. oh wait.

i didn't get the impression that he did not care about losing the 250k pot or whatever to hellmuth with aq vs aqs ai preflop. id say he looked pretty miserable.

in fact watching him play the one thing i notice is that he does care about winning and playing well which is what i respect about him.

degree of lol at this depends on the stakes that you play. However, I see that you do not post often in strategy forums. However I did see a little bit about limiting the field after a button raise to 0.3 after two 10 cent limpers from the SB with KQ

ehhhh that's kinda silly
15/30 is my reg game but I will sit in 4/8 or 6/12 sometimes while waiting. Sometimes I might even sit at 3/6 if the waitlist is superlong. I don't play looser or worse at all really. The only thing I do which is bad is I don't focus too much on my opponents.
