    I have no doubt that before dying Rene would like to have one of these interviews with Linus, because of all the cash games scenario that it implies and how Linus breaks all the parameters used to dominate the game to this day.
    Linus strategies have no expiration date.
    It is absolutely delirious to see him have +1000bb in NL40k+.
