Street poker is alive

so much ownage.


why is there no separate thread for the cash WC or for Owen crushing it twice? so much more important than most of the crap on NVG front page.


thanks to hh posters, and respect to everyone who participated. ggz, was fun to rail


lmao i remember some hs guy went hysterical on every available platform when saolo costa claimed his best guys would only lose a couple of bb against linus & co. now saolos guy wins the cgwc and linus is ends last? that is hilarious


Let's praise Pr0digy, he made $1.014.179 in actual dollars through the 2 series. (plus a Rolex, and a 3rd place prize)


Linus may have ended in last place, but managed to grab top spot in Biggest Daily $EV Loss (-$109,944.50) and also was the one who ran the worst in terms of AIEV (-$117 796.60).

fur the curious, here's 2024's top 10 finishers.


Linus confirmed washed up?


Linus is GOAT regardless

Nah, Saulo Costa was talking about a "good 500nl reg". Biluzin is not a 500nl reg, he is clearly an established high stake reg (2kNL+).


who is biluzin?


Is Linus just running bad or the field has just gotten better than him?

Also what happened to makeboifin and berri sweet? Are they still in the poker world?

Pedro Toledo.


linus on tilt now, wonder how much he dusted off to asianflushie after

Also what happened to makeboifin and berri sweet? Are they still in the poker world?

both went same trajectory as linus. Was obvious that the brazlians were gunning for the high stakes spots after the saulo drama so better to quit before u look washed to them.

Never seen a picture of the guy before, is he in his 40s? Impressive if so.

Looks 30s not 40s

FYP!

Congrats Biluzin

I don't want people figuring out how to properly play Ace Kang. 😊

@PR0DIGY Save that **** for nationals.


would be cool if Linus would comment on this years CGWC. did he feel like he had a huge edge against everyone but lady luck or did he feel washed? any other insights? he's online at this very moment...

Very realistic Llinus pops up and writes: "yeah guys, i'm washed"

perhaps you don't understand hyperboles. it was a callback to a few people ITT joking that he's washed. thanks for your contribution.


Congrats to Biluzin on CGWC win. Go over some of his cool hands.
