Big Swings

I have been running pretty badly through most of 2009, but somehow I feel a bit better after reading about some of the swings at the nosebleeds.

It looks like Brian Townsend lost around $1.6m to Isildur1 (running really bad) in less than 9k hands of HU. That set the scene for what is the biggest winning day in online history, with Brian Hastings winning more than $4m from Isildur1 (who also ran terrible).

Obviously these guys are beyond good and probably more dedicated to learning the game than just about anyone out there. However, the sheer amount of money involved in these swings is crazy. I really hope the action continues at these stakes as Isildur1 has been very interesting to watch.

I suck at closing
