How to beat Spirit Rock

[Justin A]

He's playing some really bad pots. One hand he called a pot sized bet on the turn with only a flush draw and virtually no implied odds. Another hand he called an all in overbet with a one card six high flush to SR's Ace high flush.

When I was watching earlier, SR was just getting pushed around, but it looks like he was waiting for better spots.

matusow just sat down at the Blundeston table (where SR has the $55K stack). No fireworks yet, but chances are they'll happen.

I think if I ever played stakes like these, I'd announce my bets and raises in the form of brands of cars.

"I'll rase you a Nissan Sentra."

"Bullshit, you don't have the cards, I'll reraise you a Toyota Landcruiser."

5. Do not, under any circumstances short of holding the nuts, call massive overbets.

Apparently the converter chokes a little on these massive stakes. Wanna PM me that history, Frank?

i was watching him play hu on sat.

sr has the other player covered x3

i think 15000 vs. 5000

board: k 4 ? k 4 ?=dont remember

sr goes all-in on the end after he gets called he shows k4 and says "the nizzles sir"

the player kept whining saying he never wins and that sr was his hero

sr said that he doesnt always win and said he lost 15 out 16 5k hu matches on pokerstars in one day
