What was kinda funny was Ivey would win a huge pot and then bounce immmediately without saying anything. I don't know if he meant to hit and run but it really set SR off.

[fsuplayer]

i only scouted it a bit for 2 nights and both nights pra was up to 40-50k and ivey was at the original buy in.

[AEKDBet]

yeah what fsu said. From what I saw Ivey was on the losing end.

[benkahuna]

I read it in Phil Gordon's book.
I've heard it on the net.
I heard it from Gigabet's brother.

Spirit Rock makes more money online than anyone. He's taken good chunks of change from Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Gordon, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ivey were included in this group as well.

Apparently he's got this whole internet poker thingie pretty well figured out.

i dont know anything about gordon's book. is it a strategy guide?

and in what context is prahlad brought up?

Gordon's book is a book on no limit lessons. Mostly tourney related but can apply to cash games.

He profiles some players and calls Prahlad "BOW" - biggest online winner and goes over why his game is essentially "unbeatable.."
He basically says Prahlad sees cheap flops, and massivley overbets made hands and premium draws. He gives a hand EV example to explain the math on a typical Prahlad move.

I wouldnt call it "a lot" but it was a few days of a lot of multi-tabling. I remember Ivey beating up SR a bit at times but thats the swings of HUNL, I watched a fair amount over a few days and it seems prah was up in the end hard to tell for certain though unless someone watched all of it. I was curious if anyone had datamined it or something though for real results. Crazy how open and closed Iveys game was at times, even compared to SR.

More interesting/amusing a few days later was the big pot AQ high hand with matusow and the ensuing blowup.

This stuff is incredibly fun to type about when I have a term paper that needs to be finished by 1 pm.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Yes, this was brilliant. There was good thread about it. MM called a big bet correctly with AQ high to win a big pot. There was a huge blowup afterwards with PF talking a lot of smack about how MM was terrible and was going broke, etc. MM talked a lot of smack back. And then got wiped out fairly quickly thereafter making some horrendous calls of more overbets.

His bustout hand from the WSOP ME was somewhat comical.

He did at the WSOP.

[TomCollins]

I was at the table. I can't recall the exact action, but he had about 15k in chips, as did another player who was fairly aggressive. Flop is TJ3. Aggresive player bets around 1-2k?, Prahlad pushes, and is insta-called. Prahlad had Q9 and didn't catch.

Here's your post from July:

Round 2, Blinds 50-100.

Happened at my table.

Aggressive Player #1 Limps. Aggressive Player #2 Raises to 300 or so. A few other players call, aggressive player #1 calls.

Flop is JT3 rainbow. Aggressive Player #1 Bets 1000. Aggressive Player #2 insta-pushes for 12,000. All fold, Aggressive Player #1 insta-calls.

AG#1 33
AG#2 Q9

Brick Brick.

ESPN came to film, said the guy who busted was some semi-famous player I never heard of. Prahlad Friedman, or something. I guess he's some young punk who won a bracelet 2 years ago or something. Oh well. I wonder if he plays on the internet, I bet I could crush him in some cash games.
