300k is not a big loss at 1000/500. We have seen much bigger swings in the last month. Ziigy is up a lot for this year, so he can handle such a loss without problems.

durrrr is living big this last days. Looks like the new year already start for him. His results are being very different when you compare it with his results from the begining of 2009.

Everyone yell that Dwan is gr8 etc... Don't remember he lost 6 mln ? I remember... I don't belive in Dwan to much... i saw him loosing so much to isildur1... I think FTP want him to look better after donking so much and next months he will win everything he can or something like that. Its my opinion.

nice to see durrrrr win some money after his big losses against isildur, hope isildur is also able to rebuild his bankroll so that two giants can play again against each other.

Its good to see dwan back winning again, i bet he is itching to play isildur again especially while he is on a hot streak... it will be nice to see how isildur has changed his playing strategies and his game, and to see if he has learnt by his mistakes.
