Seems like a lot of people were ripping on Dwan for having a sub-supersick year so far. Well, he's doing just fine now...

Durrrr wins $2 Million in the largest NLHE sessions this year


One of the sickest sessions ever in poker history just finished. The two lead roles were played by Martonas and durrrr. These two players went up and down like nothing we´ve ever seen before. They played about 5000 hands against eachother on the NL tables and in the end it was durrrr who drew the longest straw, he pretty much won every big hand the last couple of hours and Martonas just continued to rebuy on each table.

At one point durrrr was up more than +$2,4 millions on the NL sessions and everyone pretty much counted out Martonas since he was down a SICK amount of -$2,7 millions, but, he continued to play and moved most of his game over to the PLO tables where he did very well against durrrr and his total profit on these tables today was +$987k and durrrr faced a loss of -$668k

durrrr finally left after he told martonas that he had been playing for almost 24 hours straight and needed some sleep. His total profit today is +$1,3 million.

I find when I stay up all night and am really tired, I actually play better, I cant get nervous about opponents hands and I play tighter. I make better calls and folds, but I think this is because when im not tired I overthink hands too much and give too much credit to the other player, whereas when im tired I get straightforward thoughts and dont think as much and just play the cards instead of worrying.

One word: action.

When you're playing low stakes there's no end of action. You can log in any time of the day or night and there'll be a bunch of games running that you can join.

When you're playing nosebleeds like Durrrr is though, the games don't run all the time. There might be nothing happening for weeks, so while the games are running the guys who feel they have an edge try to stay in and keep them going as long as they can.

That's why he'd play so long.

Wonder how long it takes for someone to work out who this Martonas actually is?

My guess it's Cique de Soliel founder Guy Laliberte. Seems to have an endless supply of cash.

Yeah, ive seen him play a few times.
Durrr isen't the only one targetting him tho. Even ivey & antonius get into the tabels once he shows up.

I have much respect for martonas, he manages to hold on verry well even with the big loss he made.
The sickest hand was when durr called his all in bet with over a 400k pot with just king high and he actually won.

Well, that's a far cry from the categorical statement of "he doesn't play anymore in any form of poker." It's more like a gross assumption based on the fact you haven't seen him, but fine, I just thought maybe you had some sort of incident or announcement to point to.

Did you ever think that Guy maybe plays live sometimes and hasn't thought to inform you? I mean High Stakes Poker is definitely the only big live game. Hurray blanket statements!

Durr, did you ever know that you're my hero?

You're everything I would like to be...

I could earn dollars from all the donkeys

If you would just f-in stake me


Lol, when I read it, it doesn't sound half as funny as it did in my head. But imma leave it here because my backspace key is sticky.

^^^ This

I don't know if he still plays or not, but the blanket statement wasn't very convincing. He was a regular at Bobby's Room there for awhile. Guy is a very successful and busy CEO and philanthropist with business and charity interests all over the world, so I could see how that could eat into his poker time.

But I don't know, I just thought from the odd comment that maybe there was some gossip to be found about it. Nothing so far.

Guy L. was playing 200/400 NL at Bellagio in June. Confirmed cause a friend of mine had action on another player in the game. I personally dont see Guy ever giving up poker completely. Maybe he has been too busy this year to play online...
