I think that's exactly right. He's probably down over a million over the 5 seasons of HSP and he's gotten unlucky a few times but now I think hes just trying to dwell on the fact that hes down because he's running bad instead of making bad plays. So he calls with the 2nd best hand to be like "see, im getting coolered every other hand!"

He did some weak plays but if he was runnin good i think he would be up alot, you all have to realize how small of sample is this. And Durr was runnin like Jesus except that hand With AA vs J9. Tho I loved Durrs gamesense.

durrr running hot? lol i didnt see him land hands at all... he 4bets 44 preflop and gets JJ to fold, he has 63 and folds the other 2 better hands on AATJ board etc etc etc, he simply stole a shit load of pots, i dont think he ran avobe expectancy at all.

He didn't steal a shit load of pots. He stole the 2 you mentioned and one other one

He wasn't running like Jesus but he was definitely running better than average. He had pocket kings, pocket aces, he flopped a straight vs Ziig's aces, flopped 2 sets, one where Ziig gave him action with a pair of 3s and another when Eli gave him action with a draw, flopped top two a couple times, made queens full on the last episode, etc. Watch episode 4 where he gets in with 53os and makes a full house then two hands later he gets in with 67os and makes a straight. He also saw more flops than anyone so it makes sense he hit more than anyone, but he was definitely connecting more often than he should have been

kick rest of table off, leave durrrr and barry please..............

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think from now on if i tilt im gonna go to 1c 2c and pretend im durrrr bc, well, lets face it, i know we all wish were were durrrr if not PA

add guy liberte in that lineup to spice things up

no way guy liberte has nothing to do with poker and is just annoying with his letting people of the hook etc etc

barry g is a ringer. his book is sick also. he recommends bringing a girl with you to poker tournaments to have sex with to relax before tournaments. he also as baal says makes sick plays postflop

Durrr is really on God mode.

Imo:
- Ziig: running really bad, playing really passive and quite loose.
- Benyamine: running and playing decent. No mistakes.
- Durrr: bulldozer
- Barry: running good ( except for the huge pot ) and playing also quite well
- Doyle: super super passive nit
- Daniel: running and playing bad. Very loose and passive. Tilted hard
- Eastgate: eh, dunno what to say. Hes seemed quite passive/weak post flop in multiway pots
- Eli: played quite well until the very last hands. Really loose. But then he made some big mistakes and tilted a bit in the last episode.

my rankings :
1- Durrr
2- Barry / Benyamine
3- Eastgate even if i don't like him
4- Ziig
5- Eli ( too bad he tilted last episode )
6- Doyle ( boooring )
7- Daniel lol ( no explanation needed, huge tilt )

esfandiari is to high stakes poker as raszi is to internet forums.

weeeee?

yeah the other cast was much better. maybe it's more entertaining to non poker players but it's really annoying just hearing everyone talk over each other about retarded shit

wow i tried to prepare myself for the inevitable disappointment after they switched the durrr lineup but it was no use

What do you get when you put Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, and David Williams at the same table? Answer: my suicide

what a bad episode boring as hell

god i've watched 3 minutes of this and want to kill esfandiari already, why can't he just sit there and stfu he sounds like a girl

probably the worst episode so far.

hachem and antonius played well.

I liked Hachem - preety decent - did not expect it. Esfandiari is as friendly as a pokerplayer as you will encounter but damn STFU already please.

Dwan will replace Simon I think the episode after the episode of next week - that will spice up the game I hope.
