You know the guy. He’s sitting at your 1/3 table, wearing a hoodie, and acting like he's in the final scene of Rounders.

Ever had one of those poker sessions where you simply can't lose? A player recently shared a story of turning an $800 buy-in into nearly $4,000 in just 45 minutes, and the reason is obvious: pure, unadulterated skill.

Picture it: a tense, high-stakes PLO5 game. A pot worth nearly $10,000 is on the line. You've run it twice, and you've won both boards.
