Showdowns show for super short time
and there's no replayer apparently

damn hard for me to understand what's happening

I dont play plo either but I'm following this challenge with interest. I really don't know what Phil was thinking into getting into these bets, many of which he seems very -EV in. Phil has also recently stated in a podcast with ChicagoJoey that RunitOnce is currently losing money/not profitable yet.

9bi down after 2.5k hands

Is venivici a new plo god?

He should be able to make back some money from perkins after this one.

He can win max 400k+250 from Perkins

Also his exposure vs jungle and actionfreak is very significant.

(Actionfreak hsdb)

Also think 1mm : 250k is a lot to lay in terms of sidebet vs Kornuth.

He should roll over kornuth after getting this much practice vs a top reg
It's 50k hands too, easy win

Main Q is if he can bring down his loss rate vs actionfreak to a few bb/100
would be a big achievement

It'd be shocking if he managed to beat ActionFreak
he's been one of the top regs apparently
and he;s battling llinus effectively simulating the challenge

Vs a stronger opponent than phil

Wonder why he accepted action from actionfreak. Seems like a bad idea. Gelfond is smart and has surely been studying and getting coaching from Sauce etc. To brush up.

How good is linus at PLO?

it's marketing
and he knew he'd get 0-1 coaches to play him so he opened the challenge up

I don't understand the game much
But Phil seems to be improving a lot in the Vani match
you see less of that weird blockbet fold stuff for one etc.

down 750k after 9k hands.

-900k now wtf

taking a break

I don't understand btw, he kept saying he felt he has an edge, expected to be winning
Even 500k down he tweeted that he's got a better strategy based on hands

45 BIS down he kept saying this went against his positive expectation before the challenge so it was even worse than 45 BI...


But...how? He hasn't played a long highstakes battle in well over 10 years, ever since he got to nosebleeds he wasn't battling regs self admittedly

And he's vs an up and comer top10-20 guy who was studying and grinding nonstop past few years


He was always supposed to be a slight dog at least
This brutal bad run aside

the kind of people who make it to nosebleeds almost have to have an irrational belief in themselves I think

Galfond too optimistic, just like his site.

He is delusional, look at how many people lined up to play him.

Meanwhile in no limit, no one really wants to play each other anymore
