Not a big fan of him, he is more a gambler then poker player imo, so many times he is not far from busto then a good run makes him god again. Offcourse he has so much more skills then us average BRM players, but i like more players who see poker as a serious job rather then ''the gambler''. Anyway good he is back, just to see the nosebleeds tables are a bit back, its not the days from FT so we must give it some time.

The work he has done during one week was enough to almost double what he was winning counting since January till now and also enough become first in the biggest winner 2011 rank. This can only means he is doing a great job. And this picture illustrates this the better way possible. It is like if he was saying “Ahhh… life’s great!”

That was a very decent profit... Potlimit Omaha is just a evil game... On a roll one day in the dark the next day.. Too many sings in potlimitomaha for liking .. But Congrats on the taking
Sahamies good a player is lethal in the tables is always commanding the attack on Omaha 1 kkk in a week if it appears to have incredible Sahamies Isildur would be a good show
