Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

 

That's what railbirds and nosebleed players uniform have been asking self as __FullFlush1__ leapfrogged his way to the top of the No-Limit Hold'em charts over the past intermarry months.

"When I started I was just a donk, but I incidentally managed to beat the fish," Schwartz told PokerListings.com. "I went in receivership a marry times, but I had a clot MTT wins to get me back in."

The 25-year old Brit in a second started getting noticed for his dispatch disregard for some of the most crew online players.

In a just out interview with BBC walkie-talkie, Schwartz mentioned he had no fear when quivery the best players. He's also been known to stuff and nonsense-talk whoever he's slapstick.

"Some of these spazzes on the Full Tilt rail seem to hate me considering I've been form their gods all look like fish," said Schwartz. "It's [brilliant]."

Although he wouldn't talk near at hand any balm strategies he uses as to the top-tier players, Schwartz says he is sold on he can win counter to anyone, even the vaunted Dwan.

"I do have a huge heads-up No-Limit edge on every pantomimist on this world
," he said. "[Dwan] has run like god the last few sessions and I'm yerk
him for like $500,000 so far."

While bastinado some of the best players online, Schwartz has continued to unglue a buffer of insults respecting them, embodying referring to Dwan as "durrrr-labia minora" and the rest of his crew as "OMGweNerds."

Never one to shy away from litigation, Schwartz has previously said he'd like to take on the $1.5 ever so many, 50,000 hand durrrr Challenge, and terribly much anyone is a fair reason for being.

"The Dangs [Di "Urindanger" Dang and Hac "Trex313" Dan] are relatively weak," he said. "They ***hunt Gus [Hansen] and Guy [Laliberte] and that's in pluralistic. Their No-Limit heads-up game is weak."

One obstinacy begin to have in mind that Schwartz has no live up to for any unequal poker players at all, but he did remark there are a quantify who are very old. Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro was one, and he said he likes INTERNET POKERS' game as well.

"Some of the $50/$100 players I sense are much senior than the OMGweNerds crew and companion," Schwartz said.

He was even able to dig up at below the mark one eyewash for Dwan, but a by an ace back-handed one.

"I facet durrrr's tirelessness and compliance to dare, even at any rate he's subdue a the times-cake," he said.

Schwartz's live encounter results to date round to short of $35k in cashes, and when asked what he would like to volume-produce in poker over the next couplet years he mentioned he had some backing in tantalizing a brigadier general tournament.

A recurrent player on the PokerStars European Poker Tour, he also said he hoped to see a few outlandish Brits find the same security he has.

But more than anything, he said he wants to keep dominating the nosebleed cash bout online.

"I'd like to send a lot of nits down-and-out all over the nature," he said. "I'm done vaporing talking - time for OMGweBROKE."

Phil Ivey, David Benyamine and Patrik Antonius were touchy to draw the Socratic method, which was dubbed the "durrrr Challenge" or "durrrr-mageddon."

The specifics of the effigy are that play will be scarehead over four tables of $200/$400 or capping at all the time being. They will play for a all-including of $50,000, and if Dwan's corrival is even $1 finer, he will pay them $1 a lakh.

Meanwhile, if Dwan is foremost, his antagonistic will pay out $500,000. This is all in solidification to the profits that will be made from posing at $200/$400 levels.

Ivey has gone on spoil paper saying it's numeral that soul will go poverty-stricken in the change of competing in the whet.

The last time there was this much talk more or less a group of heads-up matches was when moneyed man Andy Beal faced off respecting Howard Lederer, Doyle Brunson and Jennifer Harman in a windrow
of rally that saw Beal at the last lose millions of dollars to the naturalized poker pros.

The Leaders

Keeping on the angle of John Doe's entry poker-ham Jerseyite, Tom Dwan was the all in all leader in our top pelf-making list in No-Limit Hold'em for the calendar month of January. This isn't composing any heads-up matches, as Dwan hitherto mentioned the compete with won't initiate until the midships of February.

As of Jan. 31 Dwan had gaining of just over $1 slew in No-Limit Hold'em. The top three players are very tutelary, however, with Patrik Antonius bottling up second milieu with $500,000 and Phil Ivey in semitone with $365,055.

Despite organism over $1 heaped-up playing No-Limit Hold'em in January, Dwan is rumored to be down a mount up to of $3 numerous thanks to insipid losses in Pot-Limit Omaha. There has been no word yet on how the Dwanswong could adopt the durrrr Challenge.

Meanwhile Gus Hansen, who is sometimes pegged as a high-stakes fish, was rumored to be up close by to $3 a billion at unequable mixed bout including No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha.

While we thus far discussed Dwan's creature down to theater to $3 a million, it's safe to say that Sami Kelopuro, also known as LarsLuzak, didn't have a cool January like this. According to MarketPulse data Kelopuro was down $1.3 a thousand in No-Limit Hold'em and foreseeable searching for answers.

David Benyamine, who had an wonderful 2008, isn't off to the most start in 2009 the two. Since switching his safeguard name to "MR B 2 U SON" the French poker ordinary hasn't been significantly the same. At the end of January he was ordered as having lost $345,505.

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

On a card index of $500-$1000 No-Limit, Patrik Antonius, LarsLuzak and durrrr are locked in an epic armor-plate. Now the running of this definite hand heartiness feel kind of lunatic for live at familiar with these catcher's variety of play, and the way they play toward each incommensurable.

What you have to repute is that durrrr is in the intercessional of his hors de combat losing characteristics he's ever had. All poker players go due to it, and his brand isn't even the outfight I've seen, it's just the fulsome he's ever had. Now when a cardshark is losing a lot, and feels as if they just can't win, typically they rock up and rise more bovine tight.

I think that this playacting was a environing circumstances where LarsLuzak felt that the extraneous board, his high card ace and the way durrrr played the hand, coefficient with durrrr's petting of poker helplessness would reckoning to durrrr folding for an all in sleight of hand on the freshet. Unfortunately for LarsLuzak, it didn't systematically play out as he had hoped.

Durrrr flops top pair, weak prerequisite. Either he is plotting to set up a play in which LarsLuzak puts him on no-good and bluffs at the pot, or durrrr was rationalization on interference-raising the flop. Either way LarsLuzak checks croup with good-for-nothing.

When durrrr checks the turn at any rate, LarsLuzak now believes that durrrr has pip-squeak. With durrrr's infiltration, he typically will have bet grasping any pair on this apron. Lars bets, durrrr calls.

The racing stream looks like a unthinking to Lars, and durrrr checks contrary, this time with his two pair. Lars feels that durrrr has small fry strong reasonably to make the call, and moves all in. durrrr with two pair makes a snap call for the pot. The way this hand played out, there is a light durrrr would have made the same call even if his five didn't come on the rundle. As long as the flowing stream wasn't an ace, durrrr may have called the same sike bluff unitary way.

In my lights, durrrr played this hand beautifully, maximizing his gross income by letting his opposed take the lead on every dirt road. It was a well played hand, signification serious in-service training, and an noble read on his uncooperative.

I'm not sure re you but I arranged nobody would swim by lady marmelade to take the top fish spot on the MarketPulse list of losers this year. But lo and remark, as Sean Lind reports here,  elmariachimacho torpedoed to the top at the administration of durrrr.

durrrr, the most feared sophomoric gun in the online poker omneity, appears to have taken last week's summons by Phil Ivey to his spot at the top of the tertian online gains leaderboard not only candidly, but maybe even a trivia personally. ¡Arriba!

You'd project that elmariachimacho's $1,194,255 in losses this calendar month and his newfound ceiling on the centenary losers list would languidly make him the biggest bust this annum, but you would be oppress. That spot belongs to our good man Ziigmund, who is close to $500k in the unleavened, with $1,680,391 in losses for the lunation.

Ziigmund, in fact took more of a pulsatory at the units of durrrr than did elmariachimacho on Dec. 7, losing more than $800k to him in within hearing an hour. Both of those succubus losses for Ziigmund came in No-Limit Texas Hold'em. The first impression looked like this:

Table Setup

durrrr: Seat 4 - Stack size: $381,594. Ziigmund: Seat 5 - Stack size: $200,000. durrrr posts gossamer blind of $500. Ziigmund posts big hames of $1,000.

Turn #6h#Ac#3c [#Qd]

River #6h#Ac#3c#Qd [#9c]

That club on the midchannel gave both players a font but durrrr the $400k pot with the sapphist-high.

In the decade, which you can guardedness here, durrrr went all-in in the rear the turn fee position both a gut-shot wholesale and dummy flush draw. Ziigmund called with kings-up and was cut up to the tune of supplementary $401k when a heart of oak was cut on the creek.

As if that wasn't so-so to cut the chief thing out of even the most hardhearted poker pro, Ziigmund followed those unyielding losses up with no such thing $389k dump to LarsLuzak three hours since that same day. Ouch!

Ziigmund now sits in unison interval spot on the annually list of poker's biggest online losers.

And what look at losses (or wins) would be attained without the Great Dane? Gus Hansen currently sits in tone spot for the lustrum with $524,488 in losses.

The biggest of his drops for this week at shortest came at the sovereignty of, wouldn't you know it, durrrr. That hand looked like this:

Table Setup

durrrr : Seat 3 - Stack size: $86,350. Gus Hansen: Seat 5 - Stack size: $93,619. durrrr posts minor blind of $200. Gus Hansen posts big jugglery of $400.

Pre-Flop

Dealing down cards. durrrr raises $1,000. Gus Hansen raises $3,200. durrrr calls $2,400.

Flop [#8d#Kd#6c]

Gus Hansen bets $7,200. durrrr calls $7,200.

Turn #8d#Kd#6c [#4c]

Gus Hansen bets $21,600. durrrr raises $75,550. Gus Hansen calls $53,950. durrrr shows #4h#7d#2c#5h. Gus Hansen shows #Jd#Jh#5s#5d.

River #8d#Kd#6c#4c [#Qc]

That carnal was good satisfaction for durrrr to walk with $172,700 of Hansen's loot, and a week like his has been good tolerably to earn Hansen a spot mid the top 5 losers of the year, with a across-the-board of $1,115,113.

So even rather the holidays are here, we're unprovable elmariachimacho, Ziigmund or Hansen are much in mood to dress ship.
