Let asianflushie to play a big enough sample vs Venividi and I am ready to xbook on a flushie's side big.

Calling Venividi PLO specialist is also quite an insult. I think the better term for that would be a rub and tug specialist to get SamJazzykins game.


really interesting thread that you guys may be interested in

especially this post in specific

by easygoingT k

after rewatching the NOSEBLEED poker documentation on youtube I discovered the following conversation at min 53:

friend:
"did you get any action online (while beeing in london for a week for a break of vegas/wsop end of june 24)?"
seb86:
"... some 2/4 deuce against trueteller and san1ker (raulg) ..."
friend:
"how do they play by the way?"
seb86:
"they both decent now"
alexonmoon (from back of the car)
"its getting tougher"

Yeah, Seb Sabic and Alex Luneau were two of the best in deuce and 8 games at this time (2014). They won a lot vs huge wales like Gus Hansen and, later, isildur. They stop playing in 2017-2018.
After Berri destroyed RaulGonzales, 8-game was, sadly, dead in highstakes.

What makes you think BERRI isn't using anything?


by b1ochemical k

What makes you think BERRI isn't using anything?

I'm kinda implying the opposite. However when it comes to NL and PLO Berri is known to deviate a alot from standard solver outputs.

So Berris street poker beats Olegs solutions on multiple games

In Olegs article he mentions there was another crew with their own mix solver which obviously would be the german guys that played those games too. Seb mentions in the documentary that he stopped playing the highest stakes because they became too good. It's cool that i don't really recalling them putting much volume vs berri? It's nuts that berri both beat ben86/ike/ansky-crew with their dream machine and quite close to it also saniker with his solver


by b1ochemical k

What makes you think BERRI isn't using anything?

I was reading many hands between Berry and Amsogood and it is quite clear Berry cant be using rta since there are many non standard hands even preflop. From my point of view, you have someone like Berry who he has done solver work but with his experience can deviate a lot if he is trying to exploit something. Also i would be suprised if he does because no one, ever, even implied Berry can be using anything in real time

No one brought up real time assistance before you.

I assumed Seb and Alex were the ones with the less sophisticated solver.

Berri winning/breaking even vs all the NL top dogs and beating Raul on 8-game is very sick considering he played mostly PLO otherwise. Also interesting Sanita took it to streets better than Berri.

He’s def run insanely good over his career, sun running forever, but he’s also pretty elite no? Hard not to be elite if you run insane I guess. Still he’s won millions from nothing (I remember him many years ago on PKR) and it’s an inspiring career to follow nonetheless.

Tax free country and holding his poker winnings in crypto. People should ask on his streams in the chat "what's the % of your net worth from poker compared to running it up in crypto"

Plus, while he was retired, even though he never studied, he was able to stay in same group chats where all the studying was happening and the meta game and approaches how to study solvers.


that cash game world championship thingy was truly great.
