Great laddering from Belton here 

I wanted to come on say lets not turn this into a Zimbler bashing thread and try and get some balance by throwing a bit of abuse tightends way. Then again sod It <3 tighty

Total love for Tighty

OMG!

"Yeah I can fold AQ here to a small raise for sure. In fact I did it recently"

You hero Zimbler, you absolute hero

Wish there was an option to have one commentator on mute.

Or just anyone in there with Tighty instead! Alex can you get in there and be impartial?

Such tilting commentary from Zimbler. When a guy double barrelled 22 on K99sx he got praised for his great play because he is vs a FD, but now a guy has bet 99 on the turn on Q62rQ he is getting criticised for his bet because he is vs AA. So results orientated and inconsistent.

keeps defending his mate Dave as well, but everyone else is rubbish obv

Tighty fantastic as ever.

Zimbler: yawn!

Baker had two much of an advantage imho. Same could be levelled at Tweddle if she gets on :s

18 of the 64 are blondes

Hoping for a great sweat on here tomorrow


A reminder, play goes 8 handed tomorrow, live stream of a feature table from 2pm onwards to watch alongside the updates, commentary from yours truly and guest.

ty Tighty.

Wow, over 25% of the remaining field! At this rate, hoping/expecting 2 minimum to final table!

Fantastic updates Mr Gill.

Ratio of blondes to non-blondes in final 64?

2 options:

1) make it 5750, but then hating a flat from him, as could be either flopped sets or hands like  or  or  , however we pretty much know what the scare cards are.  less of a concern as he surely 4 bets pre with dynamics as described.

If he reshoves, I think with this dynamic, I call and expect to be ahead most of the time. We are only behind to flopped sets and maybe JJ, but surely he 4 bets u with the goods pre.

2) Flat the 3 bet and re evaluate on the turn (where about half the deck worries us).

So, bearing this in mind, option 1 wins, and if he folds I am happy because of (what I say in option 2).

Cream always rises. Hope he announces he is going pro after this

I am sure he considers himself 'bigger than Brunson' already

Cream always rises

Really need Pleno to get onto this for updates from the horse's mouth!

Someone will officially pay off the mortgage this week! Incredible payouts!

And updates Mr Gill!

News on the Devilfish?

BTW, I have been watching a ton of Galfond's PLO back catalogue on Bluefire recently. In one video he open-folds AKKJ from the Hijack! He explains that it is a slightly losing play to open this hand but that it would be a very marginal open from the CO. Even I am not that nitty lol!!

How is this a losing play? Double Suited surely it is a clear open? Blocker to being dominated and 3 str8 draws? Even without the nut/2nd nut flush draws, we have to be happy to at least flat a 3 bet?

Obviously it was a completely unsuited AKKJ. With even just one suit I'm sure he'd open it, and double suited it's a premium hand. Tbh it was a big shock to me when I saw him fold it, and I'd always open it in the games I play in. Maybe in tough games it is going to be hard to make money with this since opponents are going to peel flops with very good frequencies and ranges and you're rarely going to turn equity to barrel with since you have no suits. I don't know if that is his exact reasoning though. All I know is that Galfond really did fold this hand from the Hijack. And he is much better at poker than me!

can only think it's the lack of suits. Not doubting Galfond for a second, this is def his game! I get the feeling from this logic that he'd rather play a totally unsuited T987 from the hijack than AKKJ? Actually, now that I think about that, it isn't such a bad play.

Sterling effort yesterday JG. Same again today!

Gl to all blondites
