ultra-highstakes battle zwischen sbrugby und sammy farha

[DONRAF]

Ich haette niemals gedacht dass sb sooo viel gewinnen koennte. farha soll ja echt gut sein shorthanded. das hat daniel alaei ueber farha geschrieben im 2plus2

Sammy is easily the most dangerous high stakes short handed PLO player in the world, and it's not even close. I have played with Sammy a lot and don't get me wrong, I like his action and enjoy playing with him but he is definitely not to be underestimated. Sammy is as familiar with high stakes PLO as anybody and as the stakes get higher, the stacks get deeper, and the field gets shorter, his edge grows. While I doubt Sammy could beat a 5/10 PLO ring game, he is extremely tough 2-4 handed for very high stakes, as he has no fear and endless money. Sammy will really put you to the test. Any pot you play with him can be all in and if you're not willing to stack off lightly he will just bulldozer you. In this matchup I think Sammy has a significant edge in PLO and obviously Brian has a significant edge in NLH. Brian should really try to get him to play straight NLH where he can be in control of things. will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Alaei,
Do you have much experience with Benyamine's shorthanded PLO game? How would they compare? I think most of the reasons you give for fearing sammy (any pot you play with him can be all in and if you're not willing to stack off lightly he will just bulldozer you) seem to be applicable to how Benyamine plays.

Knowing that Brian has played a significantly higher number of HU PLO hands than Sammy vs someone with a similar style (who many consider better) do you really think sammy's edge can be that great here? Especially with the nature of HU plo?

I haven't played live PLO with Benyamine. I'll take Sammy's live PLO short handed experience over Brian's online short handed experience for this match anyday. It's a little different playing 3 tables of $40k stacks online and one table with $500k real money in front of you. Brian is playing on Sammy's turf. My understanding is Brian has played very little high stakes live, especially PLO. Like I said before, I think Brian should try to get the game to be straight NLH because being very aggressive and in control of every hand doesn't work as well in NL as it does in PLO, and that's exactly what Sammy will try to do. I think Sammy would rather play PLO but will give if Brian doesn't give first. Sammy is an action freak and no one else is willing to play this high with him.


sieht so aus als haette sammy nach seinem verlust keine lust mehr gehabt mit sb zu spielen. die letzte session von sb war johnny chan und david benyamine. sb hat sie beide gebustet. sb muesste schon noch ein "paar" mal mehr mit den jungs spielen damit man sagen kann ob er nach x haenden ein winning player ist live. aber ja 2.15 M in ein paar tagen sind nicht schlecht.
finde das sooooo geil das die onlinespieler immer mehr zeigen dass sie auch live was drauf haben!!!!! siehe mr.smokey, zeejustin, thewaccokid und und und......
