hopefully soon you will get to the poker players life stage of playing on feel. when you just trust your gut that the flop is going to come favourable. obviously h@ll has mastered this well and that's why he dominates day in and day out.

He's been working hard at cracking Partys RNG. Obviously he's gotten there. But shhh. Don't tell anyone.

he's an animal. pure and simple.

the reason he wins is nobody has any clue what he has ever, and you are forced to make a hand against him.

its hard to hit the flop. he knows that. and he has a disgusting bankroll and can play purely on feel b/c hes one of, if not the best online NL player.

I have seen him tilt, and this is crearly him tilting. He knows its a bad call but he doesn't care. Most of the time he plays great.

People should pay attention to this. Hallingol expertly calls preflop, knowing he can bluff lowen0621 (who isnt quite pot committed) out on most flops. Most NL players make the mistake of only playing their cards.
