I'm watching a $200/$400 match right now on UB. It's kind of sad to watch people lose/win my entire pay for a month in one hand. :/

I think he's "Jdags" on stars and he just rips up the $100/$200.

Why do people say stuff like this? From what I hear, the $100/$200 game is really tough and no one "rips it up" (Which I would take to mean >3BB/100). Even then, there is rarely more than one table going, often none. Thus to truly know if someone was a long time winner in the game, let alone "ripping it up" would take months of play. And then you would have had to have watched all this play, and kept detailed results on it.

I hypothesise that from what you have seen of him on PS he plays very aggresively, and wins lots of pots. You thus decide he is destroying the game. Lots of people naively said the same about Neverwin, but it turned out he was a big time donator.

Ummm...why do you think this is so? And, no, Neverwin isn't a "donator" in that game...

If by "rarely more than one" you mean "often three," I agree.

If by "big time donator" you mean "one of the biggest winners in short 1/2 games," I agree.

We used to manage money for one of the big game participants, and it was common for us to wire out several million after a losing weekend. That was close to 10 years ago, and before my poker days.

No, I won't say who it was.

I've heard his flame has burnt out a fair amount, and that he owes a recent WSOP bracelet winner 50K+.


A friend of mine has made TONS off him in the 80/160 triple draw game.

What do either of your comments have to do with anything being discussed? What does Neverwin losing a lot to Keller in HU Omaha or losing to your friend in triple draw have to do with his performance in short 1/2 Stars games?

Well to echo Diablo's thoughts. I dare all you posters who think neverwin is a donator in the 1-2 game to go play him shorthanded or headsup. The fact is that he was a donator a year or two ago in this game but in this day he is one of the best heads up limit online players in the world....along with jdags, gummybear, and a few others.
