Loved this, of course.
Glad to hear it!
Near the end of the interview, were they saying they could beat many pros at HU NLHE, or LHE? I assume they were talking about NL but it wasn’t clear.
Talking about NL. They’re claiming they Cepheus can beat (or at least not lose to) anyone in the world at HU LHE.
So which one of the guests has traveled from the future to stop Skynet before it goes online?
Imagine my confusion when I started listening to the strategy segment on my way into town, then picked it up again on my way out 8 hours later, tired and confused. 490 in the pot? Villain bets 370? What cash game is this? Who submitted the hand?
It wasn’t until the river that I finally remembered this was in Peso’s.
Had to share. Thanks guys. Its a pleasure listening to you.
