There is a new kid on the poker block who goes by the screen name sbrugby. If you have been paying attention to high stakes money games you’ll be aware of who I am talking about. On any day, you can see sbrugby (Brian Townsend) competing in the highest limits on Full Tilt Poker. The normal game of 200/400NL has a maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Most evenings sbrugby will end up having about two hundred thousand dollars by the conclusion of his games. Sbrugby is rumored to be 24 years old and has just been competing for two years. He won a tiny 20 dollar buy in tournament for about 2,000 dollars and has never looked back. He practiced his games in casino cash games at the 2/5NL games. Phil Ivey has been battling this guy continually for the past few of weeks. Most of Ivey’s competitors go down in fire after Phil defeats them. Sbrugby isn’t like a majority of Ivey’s competitors.
Sbrugby knows how to hold his own up against the greatest gambler on the planet. He bets a absolutely fierce style and is constantly applying pressure on his competitors. Anytime he notices weakness in his competitor, he’ll put his opponent to the test. His amazing ability to analyze his opponent’s hand places him amongst the greatest on the planet.
