♠ ♥ ♣ ♦

We generally post ~200bb+ pots, but if there's an interesting hand/showdown, or if there's not much action feel free to post smaller ones.

Posting hands

How to post CoinPoker hands:

Click on hand #number in replayer.

Copy text and remove ante part of first row in hh:

[code]Poker Hand #72306164: Omaha Pot Limit (200/400 ante 80) 2023/04/12 15:51:58 GMT[/code]

Add - after parenthesis. Line should read:

[code]Poker Hand #72306164: Omaha Pot Limit (200/400) - 2023/04/12 15:51:58 GMT[/code]

This works until someone has a 7 figure stack, then you need to edit any number over one mega.

paste hh https://pokeit.co/convert/

The converted hand will say it's from GG, you may edit this too.

For the OCD inclined, search and replace § with $.

Post your nice hand here![/post]

♣

Please use the following options for converting hands:

Converter from Pokeit https://pokeit.co/convert/ with wide variety of supported games, multiple hand conversion, etc.

Another converter: http://www.railhand.com
Just paste your hand history, convert, copy generated code and paste in this thread.

If you want to post 2-7 TD hands: http://www.feralcowpoker.com.

find nothing when i search for Giya Yakobishvili on twitch. can someone provide a link?

his hendonmob is quite interesting. according to ggbruce in another thread he's a successful live reg and that's where he got his huge bankroll. 2019 he played his first registered live tournament with a buy-in of $120. 38 months later he played a tournament that cost €49k to play.

guess he learned the game at warp speed.

The 49k buy in was in roubles which is about 550 USD.

fair enough, but two months after that he played a $10k tournament, so that's even sicker. from $550 to $10k in two months.

(If I am correct in thinking he was a rec) I respect recs like him, talal, etc. who are willing to battle and put in the studying work to compete so much. It's very honorable, whereas the trend lately seems to be just shutting out everyone better than you and taking your ball and going to home to your private game. Partially I can't blame them but I'm derailing. Kudos to this guy
