this kind and style of play is high variance, and at this level, all players know the maths... BUT , on FTP the highstack tables could be fake, just show, just marketing... who knows for sure?

Posted by Dellbo99: these articals always make me laugh - they should really have the headline "Durrr loses 6 buy ins".
losing 6 buy ins is nothin for the likes of durrr and is all part of the normal varience every player will experience in poker.
Especially on Omaha by playing it loose-agressive style like Durrr. Anyway Durrr is making sometimes really lame play but like everybody. But even lame things make sense by building image.

i suggested before that it wouldnt surprise me if they are actually just playing for far less by making it seem asif theyre playing for all that gains more customers wanting on f/tilt to see and possibly play,i wouldnt be surprised if they both agreed a deal over say100 hands and overall winner gets say100k,either way its still alot of money but would it realy surprise u if they had done that?because its all win-win for them especially as its their friends who run f/tilt and theres nothing better than 2have e1 talking about the site,its a marketing ploy,lol!
