playing with better players really improves your game, and makes you think about your play more intensively. i feel that my game has improved so much in just this last week or two.

ill see the way someone plays a hand, and a frigging light goes off in my head. you learn alot from other players at the table, and its a whole lot of fun.

k, makes sense, because if i was in his shoes i would think sometimes i have best hand and sometimes i have not best hand, but most better hands call. so it's a tough spot on him. kudos to you for basically playing the hand perfectly.

I wish I had the bankroll to play against this guy..he doesn't seem to know how to fold, nor afraid(or consider) to put in a lot of money on a very, very marginal hand(although its heads up..I'd still have trouble 3(4?)-betting all in on the turn with just 6's here...)

ive lost alot of big pots. i havent posted any because none are really interesting. mostly just getting allin on flop relatively on coin flips.

i dont know how much im up. arbitrary is a god player, make no doubt about that. but i am just excited to be learning so much. im excited with my reads and the way i am playing, that is all.

[KaneKungFu123]

something i hate about UB is that when playing 2 tables, if its your action at another table that one will pop up (taking you off the other table) completely breaking your train of thought.

[outdrwn]

well when the session is done can you fill me in on who won? im very intrigued with high stakes HU poker...(and did you mean to say he's a "God" player..or is that a typo) once again, good luck, and i hope to see you posting you broke him for his entire BR....... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

One thing to consider: Unless I've lost it Arbitrary=Prahlad Friedman. PF has a long history of busting people that continue to play him heads up.

If you are dead set on playing him, I would be ready to quit if he gets me off my game and/or starts playing well. There is no doubt it's an excellent learning situation, but notice none of the people who might be legitimate favorites against PF heads up continue to play him. It's probably not worth the opportunity cost.

I believe KKF's reply was :rofl, typically poker. hah

[outdrwn]

Yeah, amazing poker. You guys play so fast, and its damn near impossible to put anyone on a hand becuase they so rarely get shown down. From what I saw KKF ended with like 43k after cleaning out the count with trip jacks. KKF-what's your total bankroll? Watching high stakes poker at it's finest is greatly intriguing.

[Dr. Strangelove]

The way he plays. His philosophy of attack is distinctive.

[Go_Blue88]

I haven't seen you play that much, but it seems that you're good at quitting while you're ahead. One of my biggest leaks is that I stay at a table for too long when I build up a stack, and normally stop playing my "A game." I actually generally can't get myself to quit unless I have something to do, or if I lose a few pots in a row, I finally get myself to stop playing.

[outdrwn]

take your own advice bro, and play your A game with the big stack. Stop making loose calls, but make aggressive moves. Quit while your at the top, I ((from this moment on)) will take my own advice, too, as I was sitting with 4X buyin earlier today, and lost one /images/graemlins/frown.gif is that considered a loss?(a 2 buy-in win?

[JcTc]

The highest I play is 50/100 (cent). Can someone explain TheCount's play on this hand?

[Jeebus]

looks like he thought he had kkf beat and wanted him to bet for a c/r on the flop. On the turn he was tired of waiting and then didn't give kkf credit for having AJ or AK or his real JJ since he didn't bet the flop like he thought KKF would. Is that right?

My reason for thinking arbitary isn't SR is that arbitary can be found playing multiple 25/50 and 10/25 games. SR never played the 10/25 games, and then would a lot of the time just pass on playing 25/50 even if there were no 50/100 games going.

At least, I think.

certainly is. SR is a beast though. Does ANYONE have an edge on him short handed? Maybe thesea and some random guy I dont know about, but thats it. I dont understand why you would play him if you like money. Much better to 5 table 10/20.

[arod15]

Wow nice pot....

At his current skill level maybe, but the only way to get good enough to beat the top level players at this limit is to be playing them, and the best of these players surely have hourly rates that are better than kanes.

I feel stupid asking this, but who is SR?

[/ QUOTE ]
Spirit Rock, real name Prahlad Friedman. Most known among people who don't already know him for his runner up finish to Chris Ferguson in a WSOP circuit event. Known to others as one of the top online high NL short handed players.

oh ok, I would've known from Prahlad Friedman, or Spirit Rock, but for some reason I couldn't connect SR :-/ I thought they were talking about SR as someone different than PF. Thanks.

Yup, bout a month ago I beleive, Rio Circuit. Sparked endless threads about P's freestyles and of course the quads hand in WPTWSOP forum.

I saw that as well, or at one point when he said it.

Arb doesnt do the overpush like SR, and SR was a top off junkie, arb is pretty lazy about it at times. Both can be hyper agro SH, eh. The fact that arb plays the lower games doesn't matter much I think, I wouldn't put it past him to move down. He used to play some 5/10 NL on stars last year when the 5k didn't run.

Also, arb recently played a fair amount of high limit TD, which SR played frequently like well over a year ago, but then stopped for a long time. Could be his new student he was talking about a few months ago and they pool accounts, or a buddy or something. Or someone totally different, uh yea.

Random tangent yea.

To people watching the games it might appear that he never loses because he always insta-reloads, so you only see him with the max starting stack or (much) more. This is not to say that he isn't good, but I think this is a factor that leads to his "godlike" reputation.

he's incredibly good, and fun to watch, but people sometimes get carried away

Spirit Rock has a very large edge over his competition in 25/50 NL games and higher. A large edge..

I'd say he's that good.
