I won very few hands at showdown.

I could repeat the performance if I wanted. If I want to be in the cardplayer of the year race, I would just go play a bunch of tournies. In my game there isn't as much variance because I'm not in there flipping marginal equity EV situations. I'm keeping pots small & reading players.


based on this thread, do you realize how much money you could make in prop bets (with MASSIVE odds obviously) if this were true. you are so delusional!



Cheerfully,

EDDtown, I suspect that I am wasting my time posting in this thread and continuing to try and make a match between you and I happen. However, in case you actually meant what you said and genuinely feel like you have an edge over me (again, I have been exclusively an online player who has only recently been driven to live games because of Black Friday), I'd like to emphasize a few things:

- I will not wear sunglasses or any "eskimo suits" or anything of the sort. So your purported ability to make the live reads that you talk about should not be impeded in any way.

- As I mentioned, if you agree to play for enough money or for enough time, I will fly anywhere that is convenient for you to make this match happen. Since you feel that your home casino consists of the best players in the world - and furthermore that you would have a big edge over any internet player - it would seem to me that it would be far more profitable for you to play me than to play all those guys in your regular games who seem to be amongst the best players in the world.

- You are worried about variance in a HU match. In order to counter that, I am willing to play a very large number of hands (you can set the number within reason) and also to play with stacks as deep as you wish. This should alleviate any concerns that you may have that I might beat you because of a rash of good luck.

I'd also like to point out that you explicitly posted an open challenge and boasted that you could beat any online player. I am willing to play you with absolutely no inconvenience to you: I will travel to wherever you want to play, we can hire independent dealers if you are not comfortable playing in a casino, we can play deep, we can play a large number of hands, and I will agree not to wear sunglasses, a hoodie, or any other clothing that would prevent you from picking up on the live tells that you are purportedly so good at deciphering. I sincerely hope that you will be true to your word and will accept this challenge.

My favorite post [from EDDtown] is when he called ucantcme63 "icantme" (most likely on purpose after he accused EDDtown of grammatical errors). It should be publicly acknowledged that this was funny.



Arbitrarily,

Cafe Noir


PS Just want to be clear, I hate EDDtown for his slippery, deceitful, snake-like challenge retraction. Pointing out that he has a sense of humor is in no way a defense of his otherwise duplicitous personality.

EDDtown: Before you respond [again] with, "Hey bros, not looking to play anybody because of ego, just wanted to state facts [lol]," I should note that you are now at the point where you have to play someone to keep from defaming your own character.

samoleus could offer to play standing on one leg on an elevated platform wearing nothing but G-string and OP being such an obvious pussy would still not accept.

JMHO

yeah, I agree, I meann you and samoleus are the stone-cold nuts of this thread.

But I was shocked to learn that Gabe lives a somewhat functional life with a hot girlfriend after reading all of his insane drivel about infrared lasers changing cards in casinos, so you never know.

As someone who lives on the Ms Gulf Coast and not associated with either party, if a game is agreed upon, I will offer my house as a host site. Poker table, chips, professional dealer(s) are on stand by. Unopened decks of cards will be used to eliminate any chance of cheating/trick cards. We can privately discuss other terms but just wanted you two to know you have a place to play.

EDDtown,

You're a delusional toolbox.

You issue an open challenge and then back out when you're taking up on the issued challenge.
Actually you issued several challenges and backed out of each.

So much fail.

I might not personally have an edge over the player that plays great & doesn't give away much, but I could extract more money from a game than they could where some of the players do give away information because I can interpret it & they don't.
What do you think of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson's poker skills and table presence?

Was listening to 2p2 pokercast earlier and surprised to hear that Gabe Costner was mentioned by name (not in relation to this thread).

Heh bad comparison. If we were talking about xanga poker vs. live real $ poker maybe. Every real life fifa player makes more $ than every xbox fifa 2011 player. Online poker and Live poker are way more similar and both groups for poker actually matter
