Soo good

This season is starting to remind me of the games I get to play :-P

Can someone explain to me why every pro is sitting with 200k while the two biggest donkeys brought half a million. Especially Viffer, wtf?

The only pro that has the bankroll for million dollar swings is probably Doyle and he's just nitty with his money

Viffer a donkey? He is awsome

it's definitely shitty but i was expecting a lot worse. i think it's going to be interesting/entertaining to see some big hands with the current line-up, but the commentator is pretty fucking awful.

I didn't write that Viffer was a donkey, I was asking why especially he didn't buy in for half a million since he has direct position on two donkeys with 500k in front of them.

They all bought in for 200k at the start if i recall.

this is preety sad IMO, the fish are buying in for 500k but the pros only buying in for 200k... How on earth are the pros not covering the fish. You would not see this with the FTP pros. Dwan and ivey would prob get a seizure if two fish bought in for 500k
