They have such similar playing styles ie: reraising and 3 betting often and showing down marginal hands both are extremely loose on calling down to show. Now in Nl holdem ive noticed Isildur has had a slight advantage in calling down durrs ludicrous bluffs and power plays. However as Patrick Antonious demonstrated Isildur has big holes in his Omaha game. Against Durr in Omaha id say durrr and Isil are fairly equal and it simply comes down to who can outlast the others good luck, but up against strong tight play the Omaha Pro will always walk away with the bank. Antonious demonstrated great restraint in omaha matchups most hands he called after reraise to see flop and rarely put in a reraise. Beating aggression on Omaha is easy you simply need patience and a big enough roll to absorb bad beats but players like Isil will keep pushing and eventually they go broke. My advice to Isil is stick to playing durrr if durrr is unable or unwilling to change up his playing style Isil will continue to have success against him "in NL holdem" .

He's 2.9 mill up on durrr and stuck to PA and PI. The way he's crushing durrr has been sad to watch but along time coming in my mind. When you play the 1000's of hands in front of anyone that wants to watch somebody out there is going to figure you out and crush you. I've seen durrr sitting there w/25% of a full buy in more than once this week and it;s strange to see. Welcome to the real world durrr boy. You've been horrible for years but your aggressive play has scared people off enough hands that you've booked wins. Isildur obviously doesn't give a fck how much you spew into the pot sir. He's got two words for you...I call!!!! Isildur should stick to just playing durrr.. He’s 2.9 mill up on durrr and stuck to PA and PI.

I like his style. Also although he is a dog in that pot I don't know if pot control is the right move there. He calls on the flop to hit his 2 pair because he thinks that will make hime the best hand, so now he has hit he should surely be looking for max value, and because of his aggressive style, and also the nature of the board I'm certain he will get called by a worse hand v. often (such as combo draws or possibly a non believer with something like mid two pair and a gutshot??), also his reraise is practically a pot bet anyway.

It's not fair! At Least Phil Ivey was nice about it when he typed "Sorry Lou, maybe next time."

Isildur1 is playing flawed Omaha, overcommitting with merely small flush and gut-shot straight draws+. If he keeps playing this game against the best in the world, he will be broke in no time. Though, if he gets a little luckier than he did last night it will be one hell of a ride before he does! :D Yeah was 5 outer, sick hand.
