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

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

If I had to make a guess.... breakeven in 100r and 1ks?

Its incredibly difficult to accurately judge that though.

yeah i mean he is obviously running above expectation...........but i feel like maybe this vietcong01 is a retard/dumb etc has no idea what he is doing is making things that much easier for him?


can someones image be that much helpful to there game that people are "playing" down to him

making rational and stupid decisions becuz they think he is some donk on a heater


edit: im not always taking about calling down lighter but trying to play hands in position against him that they normally wouldnt becuz they think he is bad and or lucky
