Brian Townsend’s newest blog entry is tilted “I hate poker…” And it is easy to understand why after reading what he wrote. According to Brian on 26th of June he lost $70,000 playing 25/50 pot limit omaha (7 to 14 buyins) he describes the session as one of the most frustrating ones that he has ever experienced.

And as if this wasn’t bad enough Brian also writes that in last couple months he has lost almost $300,000 playing the 25/50 pot limit omaha. That is a very “impressive” losing rate given that it took him only around 23,000 hands to do it.

To answer the question does Brian Townsend suck in poker: No, at least not in playing it. Even though he is down the $300,000 in last couple months in 25/50 games he is still winning overall because of the great results he has had in $50/$100 to $100/$200 pot limit omaha games. Also according to him his losses in $25/$50 are simply mainly due to the horrible luck he has had in all-in situations.

Brian Townsend is a FullTiltPoker red pro. Around a year ago his red pro status was revoked for 6 months because he was caught of playing with multiple nicknames to gain advantage against his opponents.
