Quite fantastic idea.
A pro who accept to plays against any other pro offering 1,5 billion dollar.
50.000 hands ??? |

I don't really like Durrrr, When i watch him play, it just seems like he plays garbage hands and either (1) gets lucky and hits, or (2) bluffs by overbetting tremendusly
...

......
thats being said, Durrrr's made millions plays poker, and i haven't so i guess he must be doing something right  |
| Whiskerer | 3/25/2009 4:02:42 PM GMT |
| Actually I thaught very much the same thing about Durrrr untill recently when I saw him on the new season of High stakes Poker where he has played tremendous poker so far, maybe his play is just working out but I think he has done well, he has successfully inducted a lot of action when he has hit and made some great bluffs when he didn't . |

This.
He plays very loose. But he knows how to do it properly.

But thats precisely what makes him so good. He can play 7 2 offsuit as if its aces and the opponent has absolutely no idea where he stands in the hand.
If you watch Durrr closely he never ever plays the same hand the same way twice. one hand he will limp with KK then the next hand hes raising with 5 6 offsuit.
You just dont know where you stand with him and that is the sign of a great professional

| Still, that being said it is a spike heavy play style. One that doesn't work unless you are on a roll, in whioch case it works extremely well. While I do think he has played increadibly well in High stakes poker so far he has enjoyed a lot of hits in the right moments so far. |
| w00zy | 3/25/2009 6:49:22 PM GMT |
| He is unbelivebly good. The challange is going to be a long one at this rate. I can't wait for Phil Ivey's turn to face him. |

The reason he can get away with it is the level at which hes playing.
When you are playing $50/$100 blinds then aggression works but try that at 10/20 cent limits and watch what would happen. He'd go bust in a couple of hours.
Now his reputation precedes him and when hes in a pot with someone, because hes so cavalier with his chips and doesnt give a toss about losing a few thousand, people are more wary of him and are more likely to lay down their hand knowing the levels hes prepared to go to are so high its just not worth the risk.
He is without any doubt the most aggressive player on the net, but he can be at the limits hes playing at. Put him in a 2/4 cent limit game and see what his ROI is then... |
| Whiskerer | 3/25/2009 11:09:26 PM GMT |
| Sure, but do you think any of the pro's he's playing with online or on high stakes poker for that matter let the amount of money involved stunt their game? Hardly, or they wouldn't be playing those levels. The reason he is making money is that he has his aggressive game worked out, but still, in cases where he doesn't hit with his marginal hands or where his opponents does his game won't work out as well. It relies on having a bit of luck on your side, which of course odds suggest you occasionally will. |
| eaziabi | 3/26/2009 9:29:52 AM GMT |
Durrrrrr is so sick all hes gotta do is cough n he will make money... (if that makes sense at all sick n coughing go hand in hand n ive had tiny bit far too much to drink)
anyway IMO its his LAGGGGGGG image wich helps him get paid off wen he hits n like shokaku said he knows how to control his aggressionn |
| doomdy | 3/26/2009 9:32:57 AM GMT |
Durrrr was online allready a legend.
Now he is trying live poker also |
| Merfis | 3/26/2009 10:07:37 AM GMT |
| I hope antonius will win |
| shokaku | 3/26/2009 5:11:04 PM GMT |
The empire strikes back.
After the last session Antonius has retaken the lead. Close to 7100 hands are played. Antonius is up 23k. |
| Calmplay | 3/26/2009 5:59:05 PM GMT |
| Durrrr is the kind of poker player you can't say "I think you have ace high so my pair is probably good, I call" when you're playing against him. It would be a miracle to find out exactly what's he's holding because as mentioned me mixed up his play very often with different hands. |
| Davoodoo | 3/26/2009 8:04:12 PM GMT |
LOL durrr was lucky hitting the flush in the latest big pot (right now at the top in the list of "big pots"   http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/sv/durrrr-vs-antonius |
| CarltoDaKing | 3/27/2009 4:06:02 PM GMT |
| GO GO Durrrr !!!! |
| JunkyMonkey | 3/27/2009 5:33:57 PM GMT |
They play at full tilt poker, right?
Edit: Didn't saw Davoodoo's post. yeah. FT like I guessed. |

Durrr is both loose aggressive on both Online Poker and Live Poker. The way you put it makes the public thinks that Durrr is playing Poker like how a calling station will play, random betting.
The thing with Durrr is that he is able to put a read on his opponent, and able to bet out aggressively enough to make his opponent folding the better hand, and in return, winning the pot. This can be shown in one episode of HighStakesPoker where he bet out a 100k on a pot with the hand of 10 Q when theres 2 players, Greenstein with AA and Eastgate with 2 3
The board: 2 Q 2 8 Hand was on by Durrr on the turn.
After the hand, Durrr made a sidebet with Doyle Brunson that Peter Eastgate DID have the best hand, and folded the best hand, when Doyle Brunson thinks that Barry Greenstein is the one holding the best hand.
[this whole scene can be seen on HSP season 5 episode 2 or 3, which i have forgotten. The hands of those players could be wrong as i only watched it once, but its clear to me that Eastgate hits a set, Barry with Aces and Durrr hitting the middle pair] |

Eastgate folded 42s, but the rest should be ok. Really bad hand for Greenstein. He had the aces, raised from early posiotion, but the whole table called.  |
| M3turbo | 3/30/2009 4:40:34 PM GMT |
Nah rest is not ok the flop was 2T2 and Durrr uses his QT to rule out TT to pretend he's got it and easily put Greenstein on overpair and Eastgate on a deuce which most likely is a weak deuce even if it's a strong deuce he still got FE in a multiway pot. Eastgate want to call the 100K but both Durrr and Eastgate got 500K behind and Eastgate doesn't want to play for stack with weak trips in a family pot.
