Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

TBJ suggested somebody start a hu4rollz match in a new thread so I figure I'd do it.

I just want to point out why Joe is taking TBJ's HU4Rollz offer (even though if we were to take this literally, it should probably be titled TBJ's stake vs. a small fraction of JT's roll) even though JT and I think the whole HU4Rollz concept is childish. But if this is the only way JT can possibly shut up TBJ, then he has to go down this path.

TBJ has gone on endlessly about Joe being bad in poker and because he's so bad, he's essentially scamming people in the marketplace. Those that know Joe, including myself, know Joe has no malicious bone in his body and would never scam anybody. Whether Joe is bad in poker is irrelevant to whether Joe scammed people, but according to TBJ there is a connection.

I have already asked TBJ to criticize all he wants about JT's mtt plays and hands, and mu's, but do not accuse him of scamming, since there is absolutely no evidence that JT did so (and just about everybody in the other thread have pointed it out as well, yet TBJ turns a deaf ear to them).

Well since TBJ refuses to stop calling JT a scammer, JT and I felt like other measures needed to be taken, and since JT has the utmost confidence in himself (whether he plays good or not is irrelevant), he agreed to take up TBJ's numerous offers of playing him in any game, any stake since according to TBJ, JT is a huge donkey.

As worded by TBJ...

The fact you come across as arrogant on the forums while still charging markup and being so clearly an idiot/clueless/gambling degen while playing disgusts me. HU4ROLLZ? I'll play you hu any stakes NL/PLO.
And I'm sure if you wanted to crossbook live tourneys people would be lining up to bet on me, or even PGHfan after this.

Joe should buy himself at 1-1 if he's selling at 1.3 or some people should...etc.....but its just a joke market and he's a joke player.

There is nobody that somebody that lacks such basic mathematical understanding of the game could ever be a big winner in tournament poker in the tough fields these days, so its ridiculous that he sells at 1.2 markup here.

So yeah, JT is agreeing to play TBJ in a hu nl match. Since TBJ has been calling out JT and saying how he's so much better than JT in poker no matter the game/stakes, it's obvious JT should be able to choose the game/stakes/parameters...after all, TBJ has said this more than once.

We proposed something reasonable that we think TBJ can afford to play (we're not sure though)... $25/$50 nl hu $25k freezeout.

After this proposal TBJ posts (lol) reasons why he refuses to play JT under these parameters. I don't see how these parameters are far fetched at all, especially for a guy that kept asking to play JT hu in any games/stakes.

What is it w these idiots and choosing 500 bb deep poker as their form? Cornell Fiji joe tehan lol...
Lol at 50 bbs hu nl live being standard. Even 100bbs is shallow for live nl. There is nothing absurd about playing 500bbs deep hu live nl. It is totally within reason and actually will determine who is the more skillful player than players w/ 100 bb stacks. So stop making excuses and play.

We know this Klink, but the point of the match is to shut up TBJ's constant rants about scamming. Maybe when TBJ gets owned (but idk, maybe TBJ really is the much better player and easily bust JT) he'll realize he was wrong for putting down JT's abilities so much and stop calling him a scammer. Or maybe TBJ is right and he'll show how much of a donkey JT is.

Obviously it has nothing to do with mtt skills but I'd wager w 100 bbs anyone that sounds and plays as bad as joe short won't have an edge on me

If he's not interested in 100 bb freezes or 125-225 bb cash games buyin I'm fine. And will play.... Or if he wants to gamble 25 k we can raise stakes. Let's make a playdate.
Again, based on your earlier posts, you wanted to play JT in any format of poker, and JT's set the parameters, so stop your bitching and accept, or you become the idiot you talk about here....

Just sayin'!
Don't be this guy. You called out JT, you asked him to play you in any games/stakes. He and I came back w/ a reasonable proposal. Take his offer or stfu.

As for time/place, why not take Matt Savage's offer during the LAPC, streamed online for everybody to watch. You already said you'll be there, and Joe will be there as well.

Re: Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

Also fwiw Joe nor I even have a clue on who TBJ is since Joe is never on 2+2 and I only focus on cash games. For all we know he could be an excellent poker player and will handily beat Joe in this hu match.

Also I realize TBJ is a well respected poster here so Joe and I are in the minority on Joe's side, and according to some posters TBJ should be a favorite, but it's a challenge Joe is willing to take to shoot down TBJ's serious and totally uncalled for accusations of Joe being a scammer.

Re: Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

Since I'm calling him out he gets to choose games/stakes/parameters.

Seems logical. I challenge you to a. Live hunl. Cash game !

Lapc good time. If they think a 500bb min buyin is proper then lol.

Or we can play online in home games battleship style live.....

If you think I'll just blindly concede to every absurd demand you don't know me. I wont be hustled I get a say too.

We can work to make this happen though!

Re: Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

Compromise gents. 250bbs or even better, a best-of 5 series of Heads up SNG match. $25k (or more) total buy-in with starting stacks of 50, 100, 200, 300, and 500 bbs

Re: Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

it's pretty laughable that you would offer HU4rollz then say 50bb i mean

comeonman.jpg


500bb is a bit extreme.

I see nothing wrong with meeiting in th emiddle somewhere. 2-300bb is pretty standard for live NL so i don't see why you wouldn't do that. If he's so bad wouldn't you want to play deeper? Or what about 5 25/50 5k or 3 25/50 10k freezeouts?

Re: Joe Tehan-Stealthmunk HU4Rollz match

Having one match and thinking it proves anything other than variance war regardless stack size is retarded.
