Lemon 7:0 Kyyberi, so easy!

Here is the cut recording!

https://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/55375/

Fun stream guys

Glad Lem0n got to crush Kyyberi with his excellent strategy: bluff induce all the way! Congrats!

(or maybe the runner quads / 1-outer straight flush / flopping nuts and hitting gutshots, did help a bit as well...)

Also, nice that you talked about the different poker news/ scandels of 2025

Happy new year to the both of you, keep crushing! ♠_drink:

Lemon was a bit better also, I believe! What he does, the "mid-stakes poker comedian" is also difficult to copy! But Kyyberi I haven't beaten either his results and he teaches a 4-card game that I will soon play again on Party/iPoker or both!

This year we can come back to this and see if that slowroll gave Lem0n bad karma as it's supposed to do.

I don't know you guys, I mean - I am the better PLO player now clearly, getting it in with 13% and winning is pure skill!

HU4ROLLZ?!!!!

Oh nevermind, you took my rollz. Twice.

I will train the whole 2026 like Rocky!

Sure Kyyberi, if Lemon would pick someone to play hu4rollz it would definitely be an experienced Pokerstrategy coach. He is that bad at table selecting.

haha

Lemon appears to have been a more capable one too! It has not been easy for me to grasp how his method of playing "the mid-stakes poker comedian" works! Nevertheless, there was this one player who managed to beat me despite me giving it all that I had, and this is the player who plays "4-card games.
