Teh Minbet Pokers

Dunno if anyone likes limit, but I'm really enjoying this match between Hoss TBF and Benyamine. Hoss is destroying him (up around 200k+ since I started watching). 2/4k blinds at Hoss's table. He's running over Benyamine, but he's also running like god.

Table Matt Hawrilenko on FTP, btw

yea pretty cool to watch ty

Hoss is up 350. I don't understand how he gets action...

I was trying to think of what Benyamine calls with... guess it has to be 67 or J7, right?

edit: I guess it can be 2 pair on the flop that put Hoss on air on the turn. Man limit HU is definitely a game where I am worlds behind good players.

you can play poker with a limited bet?

how do i get allin?

so is this structure the equivilant of 500/1k NL holdem? or is it a tiny bit smaller?

or does it play just as big or bigger since its HU? so i guess theres the potential for more aggresiveness?

I would guess that it plays bigger but I really don't know what i'm talking about


by the way, is benyamine considered to be a good player? I was randomly checking some datamined results from the high stakes games and benyamine was actually doing well, I thought he was supposed to be a producer to the interweb geniuses

Hoss is now up roughly 400k i think. Are 100bb swings common in limit HU?
