Message: [QUOTE="RamdeeBen, post: 1559145, member: 71146"] Hello guys. I’ve seen a couple of challenges from this “boku87” guy on pokerstars. He did a 100k challenge and a 10k challenge. Both are impressive, obviously the $5 to $10k is the better one but it has made me wonder a bit since hearing how many SnG’s he does at a time to achieve such a feat. I saw a video on youtube of him multitabling 50 at once. Not only is this just sick and I imagine very very exhausting but doesn’t this just contradict everything I’ve learn over the past couple of months and all the reading and studying i have done? The reasons i ask this are as follows: Now don’t get me wrong, i can see he is a very talented poker player but everything I have learnt about pot odds/ hand odds/ trying to read people/ watching how others are playing and if they’re bluffing or not etc etc the list goes on. I’ve come to a conclusion that this seems totally irrelevant in his situation. No doubt I’m guessing he knows what he’s doing but from seeing the video i don’t care how good a player you are, even if you’re Tom Dwan or Phil Ivey but this just doesn’t seem like playing “poker” to me. For one, I’ve tried I think around 6 tables at once at the most and granted I’m still quite new to the scene but i think it’s pretty much hard work trying to work out odds/positions etc when there is constantly a screen up to ask you to make your move. So you literally have a few seconds to make a decision so everything i learnt seems to go out the window as in reality it doesn’t seem possible to take everything into the equation to make good proper decisions on if you should fold/call/raise/re-re-raise your opponents because you just can’t keep track of whats been going on. Now his video is even worse and like i say even if you’re the best poker player in the world, he literally has a box popping up to ask to make a move every second of even less. Now this doesn’t seem good poker to me and i can’t work out how he strings out a profit in this? Maybe because he has so many at a time, he’s going to get lucky in a few and get to final tables etc because the volume is so so high. I don’t care what anyone says and I can’t/won’t believe that he can possibly implant all the required elements in poker (potodds/outs/position/bluffs/peoples betting patterns) to actually show good poker and stuff. I’m totally confused yet he has made a profit over the long-term, anyone any ideas on this? It has totally mind boggled me big time. Ps: Over the past couple of months I’ve noticed he barely made a profit of a “top” player. Like 1k in total? Yet this 2week challenge he managed 10k profit. Maybe he should just grind out the low limits like did then as he seems to make the money there much more?? Anyone with views on this to enlighten me would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I’m not in any way shape or form slagging him off, he’s clearly remarkable and it works for him but like I said everything I’ve learnt and what people tell me seems totally irrelevant? Thanks [/QUOTE]
