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 Tongue
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.

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.

Posted by fcumred: 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
+1
Well, if you think about it, it sounds excatly like, he doesnt know what he's doing
