Does any know who HASSAN SLASK AKA H@llinggol is?

[yimyammer]

What is his real name?

Where is he from?

Is he a known pro?

I watched him take 30k or more from Mike Matusow last night at UB and Mike said he always loses to this guy and has lost over 100k to him.

Its hard for me to believe he is as bad as Mike claimed he is but continually win at several sites against good players.

His name is Oren Halling

He's 23 from some Scandanavian country and one hell of a player.

I am not saying this is the case with this player, but it is very easy for a horrible player to have an upswing of a few hundred thousand dollars in the UB 25/50 and 50/100 games. I have seen numerous players win a couple hundred thousand very quickly (ie: in a couple of weeks) and then soon thereafter go bust just about as quickly.

Is it verified that Hallingol and Hassan Slask are one and the same? I have played a fair amount against both of these guys.

[capone0]

Yes they are the same. Hallingol has written while I've watched him play the 10/20 NL game that he is one and the same.

Mike was whining that this weekend he lost a 44k pot with Set Aces on a A6105 board allin on the turn to a 3 (23 suited) high straight and flush draw versus Hassan Slask (he hits the 4 on the river), and Hallingol didn't know he had beaten Mike under another alias (not Dill Pickle) for the pot while a player commented that information to him.

[capone0]

El-I'm pretty sure H@LL is a big time winning online player. I guess he could be lucky (he is at times) but he's one hell of maniac player. Guy wins, and it's pretty sick at times.

who? i don't see that.

[kagame]

well you obviously werent there /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[durron597]

Did the takeover really fold off 12500 chips with only 3000 more behind? In other words, folded getting better than 8:1 on the river?

Wow.

[redsoxsox]

Why the hell would takeover make that play. Hall could have made that play with a lot of hands.

[capone0]

Yeah I watched it live, posted it a couple of days ago, noone seemed that interested....My guess is he had a missed flush draw or maybe a flush and straight draw and wasn't willing to call the rest with just 7 high.

[-Skeme-]

He's down $18,000 in my last 1200 hands of him I have in my PTDB. All hands logged within the past 2 days. The swings with this style are insane.

[pokernicus]

Last night I saw HASSAN SLASK drop somewhere in the vicinity of about 10k on the $50/$100 NLHE table at Ultimate Bet against Mike Matusow (Dill Pickle) and someone named Fishtank (perhaps Scott Fischman, though I am doubtful since he tends to play tournaments almost exclusively).

I didn't keep track of exactly how much he dropped as he was frequently rebuying back to the $10k maximum.

Anyway, it was interesting to watch as there was a lot of aggressive betting and the pots were fairly large.

[mythrilfox]

So since fishtank is scott fischman, mahatma must be.. gandhi...

right?

in what stakes?

[chezwiz75]

I watch him a lot on Stars and he may have to add some money in the beginning but he always is up probably between 2-5000 at all 4 tables.

So he usually makes between 8 and 20,000 a day?

Yeah either that or he always uses the all in reload bug....

H@ll is one hell of a player, but uses the rebuy glitch like crazy. He def wins, but how much you can never tell.

Only $10/$20. I'm sure this variance isn't completely foreign to someone with his style. The stuff he does just seems retarded to me. He'll put in $300 cold-calls preflop with A7s and call big bets on the flop with bottom pair. It's nuts.

And I don't think Fishtank was Fischman. Fishtank was from the UK, I believe.
