Posted by xxxYUMIxxx: honestly I am not surprised that Daniel got owned, no doubt he is world class but I think in a HU game with Isildur1, he has no edge at all. He is more comfortable in a normal 6-10 handed game. HU is just totally different.
Agreed. This is one of the most important things a poker player needs to evaluate: Do I have an edge in this game or not? If the answer is NO than don't go there. Some cash tables I will not sit down at when I see it is full of very tough regs, but when it is full of weekend players well, that is different!

I feel bad that Daniel lost. He is still a good player, and wouldn`t like to run into him at tourneys or anything. Better to loose to some unknown guy than to be sure you`ll loose

I started watching, but top gear started. I know bVB won that session, as expected, but does any one know how much on each table (or what they will bring to the table in the 2nd session)

i dont really check the tables on stars on the lower limits but my little fling at the mid stakes well most are regs but if i seen a pstars pro or the guys i know have great stats i would try sit at that table, this may seem a little strange but i firmly believe if you want to get better you have to play with the best you can and it also makes you play better than sitting with donkeys that are shipping it with crap. I like to test myself dont get me wrong its much harder but you learn much more and in that make yourself play better and a better player. there is only so much you can learn playing crap players, i think poker is like chess that way or anything prob if your playing with crap players you wont get better but maybe get worse but play with people who are better than you and you will learn lots just my opinion
@b1gfoot not sure how much each table but they get $150k per session, he was rebuying lots on 2 tables and he had the auto rebuy on so hard to know

I just seen that DN lost the 150k in 1700+ hands, I was under the impression they start the next game with what they left with (DN $0 VB $300k), but think your right, both start fresh with up to $150k to spend, so VB cant lose 2nd session, just break even, but im sure he will take anouther 150k

yea i think he will myself but DN did play pretty horrible and he ran bad to but all the min raised even one time he checked behind with a full house dont know what he was doing it was pretty bad what i seen hope he makes a better fight of it next time. Im not to sure how it works but what i thought was they start fresh with 150k but im not sure would make a better game with a fresh start
just my opinion
