XWINK has reinvigorated the high stakes PLO games with all the big names looking to play the new action player; Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, Tom Dwan, Phil Galfond, Dan 'jungleman12' Cates, NoPasaran, and Andres “skjervøy” Torbergsen.
XWINK is playing all manner of heads up sessions, often multi-tabling $300-$600 or $500-$1000 CAP PLO against multiple top opponents. He is putting in many thousands of hands every day, jumping tables and opponents with his moves.
After going on a nearly million dollar downswing Thursday night, XWINK was observed venting to Dan "jungleman12" Cates...
XWINK: ill give u a good tip
XWINK: dont play when your tilted
jungleman12: yep true
XWINK: im so tilted its not even funny
…
XWINK: im on super tilt rite now
XWINK: can u hurry up and take my roll
XWINK: its taking forever
jungleman12: well
jungleman12: we can do 4 tables
XWINK: kk
XWINK: i hope u bust me in less than 1 hour
The emotions around taking on the world's best for many hours a day is apparently wearing on the youthful player. After his nearly $900kin losses from last night, he is still up $600k from his couple weeks of play, but with the large swings that can be expected from his style and manner of play, will that be enough to secure him in the highest games for long?
Apparently XWINK went on a similar if smaller scale rush like this in 2009 on UB, where he turned his last $11 into $800k in a month, so he has some experience with a massive poker rush. He supposedly cashed out several hundred thousand for savings, so despite his lack of bankroll management at the tables currently, he has an eye out for his savings in real life.
