    I'm not sure if many people have watched this series but there have been a couple interesting HU matches thus far involving a business man named Sammy George and an Italian semipro named Marcello aka luckexpress online. Anyway, the following match is between Durrrr and Ziigmund playing PLO with Phil Galfod commentating so it should be interesting/entertaining poker tv. I'll try to embed the first video all the others can be found on youtube if you click the tab "more from high quality poker."

    btw whats up with the percentage on the screen?

    the AAJ6 hand vs durrrs QT85 on the 953 board both having FD is on the flop a 70% fav and they just give Ziigmund 35% equity which cant be corrrect.

    The Marcello (luckexpress) match had some very interesting and well played hands by both players. Was surprised how good a player Marcello was and how deep his thought process was. He owned Durrrr pretty bad on more than one occasion, and held his own the entire match.

    The fact that he played Durrrr 500 live hands and came out a winner is def saying something imo.

    Yeah, they calculated the outs as if Ziigmund had AJo in his hand not AJs in spades. They even commentated it as such but if you look at the cards when they go face up he had an overpair and nut flush draw vs durrr's top pair and small flush draw. Dwan was probably like 30% not 70%.

    Glad that bothered someone else too, lol.

    Dwan even asks Ziigmund if he has the flush draw and Ziigmund says yes... Kinda weird really.

    Well.... he did win the $5k rebuy Omaha bracelet at WSOP. He probably had to beat some omaha players to do it. Just sayin.

    durrrr is a good player obv but his level of social retardation makes him hard to watch for me. Such an awkward dude.

    Never seen Durrrr act like a douchebag + he seems perfectly socially capable to me. The fellows he plays with seem to think the same.

    If anything Marcello and Ziigmund seem way more socially incompetent than Durrrr (though I fully admit that could be the speaking English thing).

    Come on, didn't everyone here watch obsessively Durrrr's cameo on 2m2m? He had a drink and some dinner, chatted, everyone had a great time.

    I can't beleive the Marchello k9 bluff hasn't gotten more attention. That had to be one of the craziest bluffs ive ever seen.

    i thought they used computers to do the % numbers... in the next episode it has ziigmund at 0% when he has a gutshot for the nut straight.

    Has anybody ever confirmed Tom Dwan having sexual relations with a women before?

    Is the poker world like the military? You know, "don't ask, don't tell"

    Congrats on being 'that guy'. And no, I do not mean that in absolutely any way that could be possibly interpreted as a compliment.

    hate to beat a dead horse about this, but wtf is with the odds calculator? it even has phil talking about it like durrrr is ahead when hes way behind in one hand. it's about 5 min in. then it puts ziig at 5% when his flush draw is still live.

    Something was wrong there, he said that Ziigmund has nothing suited when it shows him having AJ of spades--then when spades came out he said Durrrr had a flush draw with his Q10
