Default Does Mahatma ever lose?

I can't remember the last time he had less than 3x the buyins at the tables. He has 20k at the 2500 table

some people (like me) sometimes rebuy a few times before they build their stack.... So if they are sitting with 2 of 3 buyins, they might still be down for the night. (Although if he's sitting with that much, I doubt he's down for THIS particular night).

Oh yes, and when he does he loses big time. He is also Zweig on the Prima skins. I have watched him play the 100/200 NL game on there a few times. He usually wins, but i have also seen him drop 100k.

He reloads constantly. So there's no telling if he's up or down for the session just from looking at his stack.

I have seen a table empty a few seconds after he arrives, so there is no doubt he wins and wins a lot.

But all the time? Heck no. Poker just isn't the sort of game you can be that dominant in.

The thing is for a decent player to have a good night against Prahlad they need great cards and great flops to their cards. Phrahlad can win with just mediocre cards, as long as his opponents aren't making rockcrushers. The reason is his aggressiveness.

But, when his cards suck, and his opponents cards are good, he's going to lose a lot, because he's still going to be aggressive.

that's not true...apparently ciaffone believes that johnny chan is so good that he rarely leaves down in any session if the game is NLHE

Well than maybe Mahatma is not on Chan's level, because I know for certain he is down some days.

With all due respect to Chan though, I doubt his ability at NLHE is much greater than Mahatma's.

they have completely different styles though. i have heard that chan is a very tight and very agg. player, while SR is just freaking nuts LAG, so obviously chan is going to have many more winning sessions that SR, he most likely wont break the table on occasion though.

That's a lot of hands. What's his SD and how big is a 95% confidence interval for his win rate?
