Lovely guy. Very unique looks too, but I wasn't surprised when I figured out he is from Estonia.
Super entertaining to watch this guy sun run the series
It was so funny when he handed out the trophy saying you take this I don't have room for it. Yeah if you can't root for players like him something is wrong with you.
Gambledore instant fan favorite cool guy
It was nice to see the pros who are just stuck in the solver script have no clue what to do with some of his lines. Make big bet sizes great again!
That guy ��is a legend!!!

Always surprises me how bad a lot of solver regs are at adjusting to maniacs. The correct exploit is to just call always if you think they are unbalanced, which someone like Korzinin pretty obviously was from just watching how he played a few televised hands. Yet "pros" still hero folded against his overbets, no doubt in their mind thinking "I can have a better hand in this spot so I should just fold when Im not top of my range". Sound logic against another solver player but not against a crazy player.
No doubt the way they played was not -EV, but they were still leaving tons of money on the table by not adjusting and exploiting instead of following rigid GTO principles.

That's why you'll see them do horribly in games with mega-soft lineups (ex: Polk on HSCL and High Stakes Poker). They don't seem to get how playing way off solver lines will make them a ton of money in the short term
This video got over a million views in ten days, it's always cool to see a good underdog story making the rounds.
Quick question: Why are there 3 blinds in this tournament. What is the 3’d blind for? I’m just watching the FT now.
guys im pretty sure this is actually Santa Claus
very entertaining personality and he earns instant legend status, but he also sun runned like crazy over the course of two tournaments. yes players did overfold to him but when he got called off with a weak hand he got there an incredible amount of the time. it's a very good example of why it's better to play very aggressive and loose poker technically poorly than it is to try to poorly approximate GTO play though. because you will have these sunrun sessions where everyone folds when you wouldn't have got there, pays you off when you flop it, and somehow when they call your bluffs you get there on the river and these are the sesssions where you will just stack everybody if you play like that. and if you happen to hit that sunrun in a tournament then you win the tournament. so it's much better to play this way as an infrequent recreational player because you're maximizing your potential for positive variance when you're never going to put in enough volume to get similar potential results without it.
He looks like an absolute sweetheart, how can you ever think he doesn't have it though?
I've made a christmas video with some hand breakdowns from Santa, enjoy!
