why does he keep agreeing to play PLO when he has such an edge in Holdem?
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

hes an action junky obviously.
also, its not like he is bad or even good at PLO, he is amazing himself
maybe he just wants to capitalize on variance if he can
and is willing to lose if that be the case as well

He can make as much money as he wants whenever he wants to do it by grinding "low" limits.
If I had this skill I wouldn't care if I lost all my bankroll. I would work part-time for 20 hours and turn that into another 1.5 million to lose all over again, maybe taking 5% of that out to live comfortably for a year.

Only if you're good enough to learn from it, which he definitely is.

that's not even close to compareable to Isildur1. with a 5 mill roll ashman is kinda set esp with the style he plays. If Isildur1 goes on a heater and wins 10 mill in the next 2 months, he can bust that roll in less then a week, hes already gone on a 7 mill downswing in about 3 days. With his playing style unless he gets a bankroll of 30+ million his risk of ruin is always going to be enormous
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

Galfond is a sicko.
And as opposed to Isildur he has proper tilt control
it really just is mind boggling to me that he could have over 1.5+ million in his bankroll on several occasions and he doesn't have his own pad or car.
uh well it does say that and no i am not mentally handicapped
"I wish I'd got my own place last year. It sucks to still be living with my parents. But with apartments, like with poker, I won't stop till I have the best, am the best, and everyone knows it. Last December when I was winning $6 million on FTP, I heard of a luxury apartment in Stockholm on sale for $7.6m. That made it the most expensive in all of Sweden. I told myself I couldn't cash out of FTP until I had enough to buy it. And I nearly got there."
