They say that as long as you continue playing poker, you’ll eventually hit a run worse then you ever thought possible. Brian Townsend is no exception. In his latest blog entry he confesses to having a $3,000,000 downswing
Brian Townsend plays in the $40,000 buy-in NL and PLO games on Full Tilt Poker and up to $100,000 NL and PLO live. A $3,000,000 downswing is of course huge, but not unthinkable at the stakes he’s playing these days. It’s equivalent to about 40 buy-ins.
He plans to take a few weeks off if the downswing continues, but he’s confident that he’ll make a comeback. However, cards have no memory, so just because he hit a large downswing doesn’t make him any more likely to rebound.
Brian Townsend is a really smart poker player and I find it hard to believe that he’ll let himself go broke. You might not see him playing $40,000 heads up cash games on Full Tilt Poker with Phil Ivey for a while though.
he lost most of it live
That’s a lot of money to lose! I didn’t really think about people playing poker online until recently. I saw a story about it.
the blinds they were playing live were 1k/2k so it was not anywhere near 40 Buyins
This is simply a very small dent in a very big truck!
The Shane says sbrugby is a lucky player… made all his money off rivers and shit… has very little skill… The Shane knows the score… don’t listen to the media… over and out…
peace and love,
