Looking forward to it

Little doubt this is the toughest of the line ups.

Should be a good match.

On to 'softer competition'?

Is this officially the first "shots fired" moment ever from Phil, lol? Isn't ActionFreak considered a really tough online super-reg in roughly the same vein as Vini? Or was he referring to playing against Perkins in the meantime, or is he friends with AF irl and saying it tongue in cheek?

edit: ah, I guess maybe by saying it won't start for 9 days, he meant that's him taking a break to focus on softer competition in the form of Bill Perkins or something.

Damn, for a sec I thought PG was gonna pull a mid life crisis pivot morph and turn into some bizarre hybrid of some mixture of Luke Schwartz, Tony G, Gandhi, and Albert Einstein.

Jungleman might have something to say about that.

C) Sarcasm and humour

Think he was making a joke bro lol

If you thought the game with Vini was swingy, do I have news for you!

They're only playing 15k hands as opposed to the 25k vs vini

yeah it was certainly a sarcastic joke. AF is one of the best HUPLO players out right now. It will not be easy.

in, ty to people who post relevant match info

Ah, yea that makes more sense. For some reason it didn't even cross my mind that PG actually makes jokes or gets sarcastic sometimes, given his usual demeanor, lol.

This one gonna be with commentators and no holecards I assume?

Also, what's with ActionFreak's avatar, lol. Why is he holding a weird, ritualistic dagger? I'm feeling some vampire energy from this mofo

It's very puzzling when people cannot grasp the most blatant sarcasm, unless we are getting trolled.

Because he looks like that?

Yes, same as the Venividi challenge

Yea, to be fair, I guess some people are just born with ritualistic daggers in their hands

His 2p2 avatar has a similar goth vibe. I guess it's his thing.

Not hating btw, I think it looks pretty funny

Looks like 2p2 AF =/= challenge AF?

150/300 PLO ? I guess it will be on RIO software ?

Oh, OK. Thanks.

Not sure how much Jungle focuses on heads up PLO when mostly playing the big mixed live games these days. He certainly wont have played the number of PLO hands in the last 2 years that AF has. Also seem to remember lots of top regs saying that AF is one of the best regs alongside Berri, Graz, EE etc.

Also, double the volume of hands.

I'd say that it isnt unlikely that AF will be the toughest of the line up.

Pokershares agrees fwiw.
