Looks like Erick Lindgren will be playing the million dollar game
Hopefully he can win like 20 milly and pay everyone back.
Back in the mid 2000s he was always a talkative person at the table. Now he is just sitting there grinning and not able to participate in the conversation. He looks so far over his head.
Go E Dog it’s your birthday, going party like it’s your birthday and we don’t give a fuck cuz it’s your birthday. 🎉
Eric flatting QQ to a 3bet and getting bluffed out on the river w garbage is exactly what Im talking about. Hes lucky this table is so weak.
Side note: holy **** I hate tuchman and I say it every broadcast hes on and they keep putting him on as an announcer. "Wow thats a great story about Scotty Nguyen!" bro YOU ****ING TALKED OVER THE WHOLE STORY SHUT THE **** UP
Lindgren defined a generation? Is this satire
There’s literally 50 players from the 2000s that would be ahead of him on anyone’s list

Absolutely insufferable. Adds nothing to the strat talk, and doesn’t “get” how to interact with the steam and hang out.
He’s too old school where he has to fill any second of dead air with an old school reset, “And you’re watching HCL! MDCG! Here in LA… That’s in California. If you like what you’re seeing give us a like.”
90 seconds later, “If you’re enjoying the action, tell a friend about HCL. Located right here in LA, you’re watching HCL Poker… you can stream HCL poker anytime.”
Just non stop
Nice calls from E Dog, back in business
E Dog up to 1.5 now, it's like he's living in 2004 again. You love to see it.
was he considered a good player back in the days?
Love it how all the soy boys got quiet after Lindgren booked a win. Lindgren wasn’t locking it up, made couple of nice hero calls and had some nice stories about Ivey etc.
Solid session.
I gained a newfound respect for Lindgren. He did catch cards and also exhibited some winners tilt and other leaks. The seat position he drew was close to the nut low with mike and keating on his left. He did have a soul read on steve and ignored the snark. Obviously he took some lower variance lines but he was making good river decisions.
Even when he was stuck 300k early on he wasnÂ’t taking excessive breaks or playing extremely tight. He was cordial and came off pretty genuine. Although I doubt he had 100% of himself I hope that he settles any debts and has some to put away.

No he wasn't. Always just sat there grinning.
This is a fallacy.
It's still a million and by playing super tight he can still leave with basically everything.
If you aren't worth much, you're grinding small events etc and get this opportunity you're a moron if you look at it as a free roll and yolo it.
You think for one possible second that a REAL degenerate gambler (not like how everyone throws that term around) is going to sit there and fold all night you've got another thing coming.
I look forward to this 2000 era boomer who was already boring at cash back then coming in today massively over his head and VPIPing 5%. It actually is a bit of an interesting dynamic because you can call his preflop raises with anything and put an ungodly amount of pressure on him post being this deep. Hes probably going to end up being one of those "limp along with AQ AK" type
So playing it smart…LOL was that ever his MO. Maybe he is wiser with age. But backed or not, turning $25k into $700k to $1M seems like a wise play.

didn't say that's what a degen would actually do. hopefully some people he owes money to benefit from this.
Think he finished up around 300K, and he profited around that amount calling a few big bets from Steve with second pair who later admitted that he did so thinking he was scared money
Lindgren had a sports betting problem and didn’t learn poker by watching training videos or staring at solver output. But that doesn’t mean he’s stupid and didn’t realize what they were going to try and do. A few in game and many on here didn’t give him the respect.
Texas Mike did run a successful bluff but he implemented it better and can’t be right 100% of the time.
