He certainly has the reszults to say he's the best around. However, here's an email a friend sent me after the $2500 Omaha 8 last week:
I started out a table that was pretty stacked. Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow, and Thang Luu were at the table as well as some other solid players. Lu has won two Omaha bracelets and I naturally assumed he was a very talented Omaha player. On one hand, I had to really rethink things and actually wondered if he was a little insane. I was in the big blind with 2457 double suited and Thang raised from early position and both the small blind and big blind (me) called. The flop was A38 with two hearts. I loved my hand. I had the lock low, the wrap straight draw and the five high flush draw. The small blind led, I raised, Thang called, the SB raised, I reraised and Thang made it five bets. The turn was an offsuit queen. The small blind led out again, I called thinking that I might be getting quartered with my low and I was hoping to hit some sort of high hand on the river. Thang also called. The river was a king and the SB bet and we both called. The SB turned over A488 and said "I have high" thinking his set of eights was good. I said, I have low and showed the nut low and Thang turned his hand over and showed KK35 with no hearts. He made it five bets on the flop with no low draw, no flush draw, a pair of kings (with an ace on board) and ended up winning half the pot with his set of kings. What the hell?  |
