Prahlad is a solid player, Legend. Durr even talks about how when he first was playing coming up, prahlad was known the heads up specialist the king of online poker and he sure doninated. What happened to him after was brutal He was playing on BetOnline or some poker site where fromwhat i remember his computer was either hacked/bugged by players since site was comprimisrd or he was playing someone heads up that actually had a super user account someone who could see all his hole cards (like potripper). I dont know how much of his bankroll liferoll was demolished but that really was damaging on so many levels to your confidence and ability where you think your not a good player anymore not knowing you were being run over by someome who could see your hole cards and was cheating. He lost alot i hope he got it back after it finally came out that the poker site was comprimisrd . He deserves recognition though, he is one hell of a card player.

I trapped him and he won because of luck. He only had two outs. I rebought and trapped another guy with 3 5 with two pair on the flop. I went all in and he called like a donkey chasing a wheel straight. He only had 3 outs and caught the 4 on the river.
