Hi all,

I think I don't need to introduce neither Tom 'durrrr' Dwan nor Viktor 'isildur1' Blom to any of you.

What do you think of their approach of playing poker? Playing overly aggressive, especially with marginally unconnected weak hands?

See below a link for the game of durrrr vs isildur1 as an example.

You Tube

I saw their heads online. I think they do not look at their cards. This is unbelievable. They are both so aggressive that they look like bots.

They give each other a lot of action and most likely they both enjoy the thrill. Other than that, I am light years away from the level where I could dare having a personal opinion about how good or efficient Durr's or Isildur's playing styles are

Interestingly, they probably pay little % rake for the astronomical amounts of money they go through, because they go way over the rake cap for each pot.

Yeah, it is incredible, isn't it? How they each time re-raise each single hand until all-in.. I wonder if they at a certain point think.. "Man, actually I don't want to go all-in with this hand, but if I don't, this guy will steamroll me every time - so, well, let's go all-in then.. " I really would love to understand the rationale behind their style of play..

I remember watching these hi stakes matches like it was television - bc it was just that entertaining. "click a mouse, lose your house" never was a truer statement than at these stakes. Players literally sitting down with houses...
Now - combine 2 of (arguably) the most aggro players on the net, let alone in HU.
Two players that can have any 2 cards- and moreover- do anything with those two cards. i wish i could say i had the stomach or bankroll to play it ha but def a great watch. brought me back

advantages of their style no matter how well you play, you will never confidently read their hands

I don't watch poker anymore but a long time ago when I used to, I found that LAG players were usually more entertaining to watch.
