That's the worst play you've ever seen him make?????

Ah, okay, maybe not. But it is still an example of a bad play. Does he stop to think what his opponent is raising with on the turn? Even if it's pocket tens he's beat.

Well he had the top pair, figured it was worth $53k more.

??? What's the exact number got to with whether the hand is played well or not? You're getting too results-orientated here and top pair top kicker is often good, isn't it?

jesus christ luckyjimm, your some busto guy and your berating sbrugby??? You dont even know history between these guys, you dont know how hu works..

Seriously, this thread is filled with retarded idiots, i now understand why there are so few winning players.

'poker is just all about coinflips and he got lucky'

jesus the ignorance.. I agree Sbrugby is prolly playing bad and running bad atm.. But hes a winner because he will keep on playing and trying to improve even tho the poker gods hate him atm. Thats what I like about him. He didnt get this far by giving up on the first big downswing..

[/ QUOTE ]


The history is this guy keeps beating Sbrugby's ass....

[/ QUOTE ]

well i dunno, but does the term 'variance' say anything to you? Im not trying to be a fanboy here, but really the ignorance in this thread...

I got owned by some super retarded brainless idiot yesterday who played for the first time, but somehow couldnt lose a hand and ended up 3 bi vs me and insta left... does that mean i suck and prolly should quit?

um the exact number matters b/c if you raise it from 18k to say 1 million, the guy is gunna be calling you w/ a narrow range, and thus the play is -EV for you.

I'm just saying hypothetically. IDK what the situation was here, and frankly it is prolly not important. Wat is important is brian blaming everything on a bad run. I mean, is he gunna blame it on running bad until his BR reaches 0?

Even if you can beat the game w/ ease, you need to step down if your BR cant handle it. Either that or get backed. I hope Brian wises up when and if the situation comes up. IDK anything about his financials, so I assume he is using his discretion, and thinks playing 3/6 is okey.

you dont know history between the players, and its high stakes, so you cant really say anything about him. Maybe brian just made alot of crazy bluffs and expected the guy to call him lighter or whatever.. I dunno, maybe it was stupid and he was tilted but you cant really say anything about it.. since there is not really a standard way to play it.

its really funny, everyone thinks hes god when he runs good and destroys the games, but when hes on a ds, everyone suddenly thinks he has a problem and should quit poker..

And he said on his blog he moved down, and doesnt play hu games any higher then 50/100NL and hes trying to find leaks, So i dont get where all the hate is coming from.

What bankroll do you need to play 300-600 when one of the supposed best player obviously can have a downswing of 1 500 000 USD in about 4300 hands? Is 20 000 000 USD big enough?

Maybe some of the un-known players who play Brian actually have much bigger bankroll than that? I don't know, but they should have. There are some players who have been winners in the highest live games for decades and I would be a bit surprised if this quite loaded players with a lot of experience in terms of variance, would not try to grab Brian's money. The history of how easy Bobby Baldwin caught Brian bluffing at Bellagio was maybe significant.

I doubt that any “online” pro are loaded enough for this game no matter how good they are because of the big variance.

sodom what ur saying makes no sense, GL at trying to get 90k hands live in... you play waaay waaay more hands online, and you have way more variance (since more hands). Live players are usually more fishy, and more players with lots of money losing it because they can.

when brian wins hes the best player in the world.
when brian loses hes on a downswing.

25 buy-ins in under 5k hands is sick no matter what the stakes are. sodom brought up a great point. with the nosebleed games being incredibly aggressive (stacking off lightly with top/mid pair, flush/straight draw on the turn etc.) i dont think any traditional bankroll management rules apply to these games.
