Galfond €100/200 Battles - Page 2

Ah cool! Had no idea

galfond such a sicko the whole community shitting on him when he was super down decided to take a break paying a few k a day in fines and now getting close to even

Nvm lol

I know a lot of people rooting for him and think he is a sicko for turning it around, but Galfond is getting slaughtered so far, -7bb/100 is not a good winrate for reg vs reg at nosebleeds, in 2020. Of course, it may be that galfond is just running bad and is the better player, or it could be he is only a marginal loser at -2bb/100~.

I'm curious, why no one wants to play each other in NLHE?

There's some battling in nlhe for HU, but the game is close to solved so edges tend to be small. maybe ask drone666 since he is the HU specialist on LP, he plays up to 10/20 hu so he would know better.

3 and 4max in nlhe hardly happen either. The average winrate for a reg in 3max at highstakes is -1.5bb/100~, and its usually only the very best regs that are battling 3 handed.

lots of action NLHU lately, it's mostly battles going on stars, if you check highstakes thread on 2+2, majority of hands are NLHU
and I dont think the current NLHU top regs are that good or close to GTO, so I dont think the game is solved, Linus kicks eveyrone's ass when he plays HU now I think

Linus not HU top reg? wtf

predictions in this bout age as well as Coronavirus predictions lol, Galfond is now the betting favorite!

not gona lie i come off as a total moron now.

that's the opposite of what I said
he wasn't, now he is

this variance is so unbeleivably the exact kind of variance you'd want for a movie script where the hero has an epic comeback at the end.

There’s ~20k in rake missing from those numbers. This could end up mattering a lot if the deal says that Veni must be ‘up’ but I’m sure they thought of that...

If rake was missing surely the number that Galfond is up and Veni is down would be different?

Yes, missing in that it is not represented because the numbers should be different.

very cool Galfond interview at Joeingram podcast

I agree with most of what he says about solvers, even though his point is stronger for PLO
but people play very far from solvers still ( even nlhu ) and it's not very efficient to try to emulate a solver as a base strategy

in 6max People play a lot more like solvers, and far better, than they did 3 years ago. But yeah there are still a lot of mistakes people make, and in general the less common a spot is the more deviation from solver strategy in the population.

a lot of nodelocking is just clicking buttons as well. For example if someone overfolds rivers a lot, you can only nodelock for one specific turn + river card. That's 44x43 different rivers you need to nodelock for if you want to see the real affect it would have on flop+turn strategies. You can't accurately study most spots with nodelocking.

I also have a bunch of z500 hands from 2015 and it's remarkable the difference between how people played back then and how they do now, i could post the differences if people want

yes please

Don't tell me people play like solvers BBvBU and BvB properly
literally 0 regs play near even the limited solver sizings and frequencies at NL200 in those two

I keep playing vs solver in twose two spots and I'm miles off and so is everyone else I play
