Online Poker High Stakes Bloodbath

Online Poker Bloodbath

Million dollar swings, both wins and losses.  It's such a rush for high stakes online poker players the likes of Tom Durrrr Dwan and Cole South among others.

South was on the losing end of that swing as reported by PokerNews.com:

This week, two members of the young, rich and undeniably talented set of nosebleed-stakes players endured such bankroll fluctuations, Tom "durrrr" Dwan continuing his rebound with a million-dollar win, and Cole South's first-quarter winning streak coming to an abrupt halt with a million-dollar loss. It was also a nasty week for South's CardRunners colleague Brian Townsend, who dropped over $750,000 as well as Marcello "luckexpress10" Marigliano, who suffered a single-day loss of $451,000.

South had previously been the biggest winner of the year in high stakes online poker games coming into March with a $3.5 million profit.   Durrrr, on the other hand, had incurred significant losses coming into the new year.

Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies is another of the big name high stakes online poker players.  He was a recipient of $500,000, or half of South's losses.  Durrrr collected the other half.

You've missed the point. It doesn't take a someone with extradinary poker skills to play the nosebleed levels...it only takes a huge bankroll. They are not poker geniuses, just guys who like action and if you take time to think about it, the swings they have at these levels will all bring them back to zero. Ever met a retired poker player?

not poker at the nose bleed stakes

These guys are not playing poker...its just 2 card gambling, hoping your cards hold up. There's rarely a brilliant call on the river to a huge bet. These guys get their money in and hope for the best. If these guys want to show off their true poker talents, lets see how much profit they can show at a 5/10 table.

this comment is fucking
