[quote][b]BCF (2008-05-18)[/b][hr]Well i could be off on the time. I definitley joined my 1st prima skin in the month of January at was a really bad cluless player, so it took me about 6 months to build my nerve and skill to shortstack the 2.50/5 oblidi oblada lol. There was no 10 player tables that ran any higher on a regular basis that is. After Rast made an ultra loose call he explained it was the lowest limt he would sit at. I think I told him how bad he played lol as i looked at my best starting hands cheat sheet above my computer :) .Prima as we all know eventually took off, just a shame it didnt stay that way. :([/quote]

I'll probably make a comeback on Prima anyway, i like the client, and, hopefully i'll still find some fishes on Omaha PL $1/2 :)

Most of these race/rake-grinders are probably playing shorthanded Texas NL $0,5/1.0 to $2/4, so bad value on these limits on Prima nowdayas.

[quote][b]BCF (2008-05-11)[/b][hr]That roulette story is funny. I had my 1st online badbeat at the hands of Rast about 7 years ago on 2.50/5 prima. He played alot of 25/50 and such when prima was really going. Always was a good player, nice to see him really banking at the really high limits.[/quote]

7 years ago, damn, is prima that old? :) Didn't they start 2003 or something, however, i guess it was alot of fish at that time, now prima is just 75% grinders.

[quote][b]Mr_lol (2008-05-11)[/b][hr][quote][b]Walberi (2008-05-07)[/b][hr]Last november I played against Brian "tsarrast" Rast a lot. We were playing PLO1K-PLO5K and he was pretty OK, but not excellent or opponent that really put me thinking. Actually I thought that he is only good tournament player who is taking just shots to PLO.

He has nice tournament results but damn, he has done great work in HS-PLO too.[/quote]

When will we see you on the top limits Walberi? ;)[/quote]

Tsarast was one of the regulars on UltimateBet when the 50/100NL was still the biggest game on the american sites. Pretty good player but haven't seen him play NLH anymore.

I played 5/10 nl with him four years ago

That was a joke. He has been playing the 25-50 to 50-100NL stakes for a long time (over 3 years) so I'm sure he has built up a big bankroll over that time. He has just recently moved up to 200-400NL and PLO over last few months so probably taking shots and doing well so far.

Tsarrast just told the rail how he made his BR to play 200/400. Pretty sick when this is actually true...

tsarrast: i ran it up to 10k online playing 2/5nl, cashed it out,
put it all on Red 5 on the roulette wheel, turned it into 300k,
and put it on black twice, 1.2M, and then reshipped it to FTP
