I've played with him in todays nightly 100k and he played pretty solid. obv. its easy to judge sum1 on 1 hand where he ridiculusly gambles but he does alot of good things and is deceptive.
I find it funny how sum suposedly top respected plyrs do bad plays and its fine but when he does it he's a retard spewmonkey. all the best plyrs make marginal/bad calls once in while... anyway fwiw

omg vietcong is like so lucky he'll be broke in 2 more weeks if he keeps playing the way he does hes so nuts and always gets his money bad wow hes so stupid why doesnt he just jump off a building!!!!!!!!!

anyways, i'm curious to sow how his results will be in the new year. if he's truly as bad as people say he'll obviously have some wicked variance. but i just dont know how someone could win so many tournaments just based on running good alone. so, i guess we'll see

wow i didnt know suited connectors had so much value in any position...i should start playing sc in every position now no matter how big pre flop raise is lol!!!

Theres a misunderstanding on pocketfives. When the better players say Vietcong is terrible, we don't mean terrible compared to the average poker player, we mean terrible compared to people with comparable results.

Hes actually quite good if you compare him to the average poker player.

SC maybe since u and many other high buy in MTTs play him often how does he compare to the average player in the fields he plays......

cuz the average poker player doesnt play every 100r and 1k

QFT

of course people could be looking him up alot lighter, moreso after all the gossip etc. about him over the past month

Dealt to GenetikFreak [8c K]?????????????????

SCT I think what you say here is definitely correct. Although from railing him a lot I would have to say his end game seems a lot better than most average players???
