It's been a week since Stefan haven't played a hand i think, his last NL1K session was brutal considering his financial situation and seems like he's not having overall success at NL1K, is he still in profit after rakeback? according to this graph he is losing -3.44BB pre rakeback
![](https://tptstorageaccount38381.blob.core.windows.net/images/resized_R4Bx6LV.jpg?width=1440&height=770)
His last posts on his blog he was replying to a guy who criticized him and called him a weak player, since that he hasn't replied even tho viewers asked him to post some results since he already played many hands
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/twoplustwo-actually-definitely-helping-stud/userimages/67eZl2t.jpg)
So, what future holds to Stefan? Is he gonna find power enough to make epic come back or it will be another downfall of a hero?
Do pros really use the cashout option what happened here? Doesnt it cost something? I thought its something only fish do or maybe you would do it if you were shot taking a really big game, never seen a pro cashout before on these posts. Seems like Eelis paid 1k for to reduce the variance? They grind for full hour to make that in EV.
Could make sense if he doesn't have a rebuy in his account and unable to deposit more that day to hold the seat,
Seems a juicy game that you wouldn't want to lose your seat in
But mikeser asked to run it twice and eelis turned it down. Cheaper way to reduce variance
probably missclick while playing wsop tourney
on a sidenote stefan sounds like he has a psychosis

Paying a who cares %1 to lockup 75k and not have to sweat a 5 outer and a $110k USD swing seems pretty sensible. Plenty of PLO regs take equity on GG when pots get very large. It’s also a sweet way to not run it twice in a really good spot.
I think the post criticizing Stefan's play is an old copypasta. I feel like Stefan is going to do fine. No amount of 20 somethings playing around with GTOWizard should change that.
On a sidenote, nothing more tilting than somebody cashing out and running it once against you in a big PLO pot.

Yeah that was weird.

I thought the same, but at such a high % equity, I think its ok. As people said maybe he doesn't have another bullet in account. I also agree id rather take the small loss on equity than run it twice.
whats the background on Stefan's situation? Didn't he play 100k NL only a few months back?
Jaka was on ketamine in the commentary booth yesterday? I thought it was a joke first but they were serious.
If you watched the stream he miscommunicated spots many times. Reading board, action, bet sizings, basic stuff. Lol. I mean he did fine analysis overall but many I heard small mistakes like that.

Mods delete wrong thread on accident
The prevailing theory is his bankroll got destroyed playing HU matches against better players

He should move up where they respect your raises

So
good stuff. Those results are ****, but my guess is that he's going through some personal or motivation issues.
what does his blog say about his situation/finances etc? Where is that blog, is it in english?
I read it all past few days using translate feature on my phone, it’s in russian on a russian message board
seems like stefan went off the rails when he came back from his break in 2023, after he smashed limitless, read a bunch of his posts and he seemed really deluded about some business venture related to virtual reality I think, he has a history of mental illness although he seems to think this is just normal and not a disease otherwise the human brain would have evolved not to have these ailments
1k gg really is a terrible game for Stefan. Even if you are the best in the world a lot of games will just be hard (impossible?) to beat and he plays with zero table selection. The big player pool where he is not familiar with most people and having been on a break doesn't help him either. I'm sure he will figure it out and be back at 5k+ eventually.

Here are some big hands Stefan lost from his last session, i agree, seems like NL1K population is very resistant to Stefan's aggression and i believe Stefan's power comes from his ability to capitalize mainly on fold equity but seems like he's getting more resistance
