What happened on the hand where everyone is talking about the river? I missed it.


KQo vs Q4s on 10JKA board

Q4 wins by hitting flush on the river.


910JK board, not 10JKA, which is why the guy had to hesitate a little before calling (he would be behind against AQ)


Oh, right.

My bad!

Kiwi doesn't care about money; that is why he doesn't play in any small tournaments. SC2 is more a much loved hobby.

This... if Kiwi is this good at poker, he literally loses money every hour he devotes to SC2.

Still, have to give him credit for doing at least 2 things he loves to do full time and earns a living both ways!

Well he made his money at a meh winrate back in 09, you can't compare online poker now to back then, chances are he no longer has an edge.

He looked genuinely clueless to me.

I think he's doing a good job for amateurs or even people who don't play poker that are watching it


Exactly. Even if it isn't on purpose (which I think it is) then it is still a good idea to have him there to help people out who don't watch poker often... so either way it is good they hired him.

That was a ridiculous hand. Too bad the camera just turned back to the feature table at the end of the hand :o(.

Looks like only 284 people left, so kiwi is guaranteed 40k. Not bad at all.

If it's his passion or so to play starcraft 2 then it's not wasted time. I respect KiWiKaKi a lot for his choices.

It's not all about the money. You can do things you rly like to do... My bet is that he rly rly like to play Sc2 and instead of focusing fully on poker he decides to do both and enjoy life more

someone posted in this thread he had a 2ptbb winrate 24 tabling NL600 and NL1000, which is definitly not a "meh winrate" even in 09...
