Ok let's cut to the chase here, Gzesh vs. Sage, boxing match, 3 rounds, each puts up $5K, winner chooses which charity will receive $10K.

I've been beating him like a red-headed stepchild in NVG, totally by counter-punching, why would I switch contests to the physical realm ? We already know SD can make a guy visibly crack in under 3 minutes, just by talking, what's the incentive to meet up irl ?

Tell you what however,

IF you can raise that $10K for a purse for charity, AND we both refrain from posting outside a HU Charity Match thread on 2+2 until after the event,

I'll agree to play SD a NLHU "Speech Play Allowed" Cage Match in Las Vegas during the WSOP to determine the winning charity.

He will fare worse than Pappa Doc did in 8 Mile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHE0wmgljco

You've already declared by inference that you are at least 55 years of age, and American, so the stats according to average American weight range charts I have just consulted put you at ~265 lbs which in a cage fight means you'd only need to point your lard mountain of a body in the right direction and fall on me to squash me.

I accept the challenge if it's boxing at the 145lb weight limit and if it's a properly organised and sanctioned fight by an American amateur boxing body. I am 52 so you have a decent chance.

It's a poker NL HU challenge, speech play allowed.

The Cage format says that we play HU for a fixed time limit, if neither one is busted, the winner is the guy with the most chips at the expiration of the time limit.

See, e.g.

https://www.americascardroom.eu/onli...ions/the-cage/

The real benefit to 2+2 is that you'd be restricted to posting in only one, designated thread from now until the end of the Event, a restriction I'm also willing to bear, for the common good.

(fwiw, Sherlock, I'm closer to 65 than to next Monday; my challenge is for poker, where your relative youth and intellectual acumen should give you a real edge. I mean, you can crack a guy in under 3 minutes, just by grilling him.)

I am willing to pay for SageDonk’s velvet boxing trunks if they have ‘THE INTERROGATOR’ spelled out on the waistband and this image across the buttocks:

I hate NLHE, I play PLO and I don't like HUPLO. But I'd be happy to do a tournament challenge with you, entering a total of $6K tournaments each. Whoever cashes the most. We pick any poker variants we like for tournaments. Min/max 3/6 tournaments.

Can throw in a small HU, $500 R.O.E. + $250 "bounty" for the player who the judges say had the best speech play/put downs.

Can't guarantee I'm coming to Vegas in 2019 but if I do, hold me to the all of the above, or something similar if mutually agreed.

Charity elements of it TBD

What is R.O.E, round of each ? What games ? NLHE, PLO, meaning high, not split pot ?

We would have to agree on judge(s) for the speech play.

The other events I am not interested in, I don't play WSOP tournaments.

You realize that the requirements would begin now, until the Event .... no 2+2 posting at all outside of a HU Charity Challenge Thread we would create ? (I expect I could raise a $500 sponsorship/stake from 2+2ers, just to gain that community benefit. If it takes you to 2020 to come here to play, so much the better.)

Round of each, 1 level of NLHE, one of PLO.

It doesn't have to be WSOP tournaments, could be Venetian etc but okay if tourneys aren't your thing I'd do a $1000 + $500 speech play/put down bounty HU round of each best of 3, and you and I only posting on our HU Charity Challenge containment thread from now until after the match has finished.

Tbf we probably both spend too much time on too may threads so it would be life +EV for both of us.

Get a room you two.

Looks like I'm gonna be trapped in this thread for a while....

Instead they should make a gay porn together and we sell that for charity

That's the idea, especially if you don't make it here for the WSOP this year,

Anyone want to stake me, given the community benefit, and the proceeds of an event going to an agreed charity ? I don't want to have to hit the airports to raise a stake.

You volunteering to be a body double or what ?

I don't think gay porn was what OP had in mind when he proposed a HU contest,

Without even Googling it, I'd imagine that is perfectly legal in Nevada.

Alas, I can't agree to it though because it would jeopardise my existing career in straight porn.

I've heard Chad Power will give you a good deal.

My nominated charity should I win is one that helps homeless people in Las Vegas.

Because of the speech play/put down $500 bounty there are 4 possible outcomes. $3K, $0K either way or $2K, $1K either way, pro rated if the total pool is over $3K

Totally cool if Gzesh gets a backer for the $1.5K starting point, it's not about bankroll, it's about poker and verbal/intellectual ownage of the other player, but I'll put in my first $1.5K and happy to escrow to a trusted third party nearer the time.

Gl Gzesh.

I'm too fast, I'm too pretty.

someone i've never heard of vs twitter/2+2 guy who you cannot tell if he is trolling or not every post he makes , exciting!

Guys, this has to hurt where the other lives.

If SageDonkey wins, the money goes to people in PSU baseball caps who ask for handouts at airports.

If Gzesh wins, the mods shall set a 140-character limit on all SageDonkey posts.

(Also, Gzesh: any time you talk out a hand, continually say "we.")

Are you guys like important or something?

In a word, no.

We agree on something .... neither of us is important* and this event will not vault us into the 2+2 poker pantheon,

We're not yet there on event terms however. For a threshold example, one of the purposes was that someone raise a charity pool of $10K to give the event some meaning.

In the interim our posting should be confined to this thread regardless .... even if this Event has to be scheduled for WSOP 2020.

(*ECB, I nevertheless promise to say hello to your wife if we do this event and I win and she is there.)

Sorry, the gay porn proposal was rejected, at least by me.

.... and if quoting Ali is your idea of speech play. SD, I met Ali, he used to be my neighbor on the Southside of Chicago, you're no Ali.

That was really uncalled for.

Since its not about the bankroll, offer me 3:1 on my $500 and all the proceeds go to charity, a net $2K for charity.

You can try your hand at speech play, but that's up to you. Your success or not will be shown by the effect, if any on play. Same for me, I generally post as a counter-post with respect to your statements on 2+2, if I feel like it; so it's likely going to be up to you to drive any speech play action.

Perhaps so, even SD knows his limitations; he left out the middle part of the quote where Ali said "I'm too smart".
