[x] thread continues to deliver

We should start taking odds now on when he'll get this account banned and start up another one. It's a well documented fact that he's had multiple accounts on this and other poker forums, and that he keeps coming back (often with the same conspiracy style posts).

I, for one, admire your tenacity and dedication in warning the poker community of the dangers that you, and only you, can see. Keep up the good work, sir.

you said you would play, you have been quoted as saying you would get details of a venue about a week ago within a couple of days. you have backed out in comic fashion after samo accepted the challenge that you did in fact issue.

Lol at samo backing out. what makes you think AT ALL that he wouldn't come play you for any amount given what has transpired in this thread?

lol what? how is the idea of you backing out ludicrous? ask a friend to read the last 10 pages of the thread and give you his/her honest opinion if you can't be honest with yourself about the fact that you are ABSOLUTELY backing out.

if he's just another game, set up a room at your poker room. make it happen Gabe 'All Talk' Costner

Ucantcme, Please leave the thread. You have to be the most absurd illogical moron at NVG. You fill up 30% of the thread with complete garbage. You make it tough for anyone that actually wants tobread anything of substance.

I've been disrespected by pretty much everyone on the thread for telling the truth & now you want to tell me how I should run my life, trading & poker business.


When someone persistently begs me to play & I do agree, well I'm agreeing on my terms & I'll play whenever I decide to play, not because a bunch of whining crybabies from NVG want me to play. I wasn't in any hurry, however my word is good as gold. So if I say I'll play, Then I'm going to play. If anyone backs out, it will be Niman.


I could really give a ****, because I play most everyday anyway, playing Niman is just another player to me. It's all the same.


And SAMO, you are border line falling into the same idiotic talk as the others on this forum. Accusing me of being All talk or full of it isn't cool. You ask for this match, remember that. The whole idea of me backing out is just ludicrous. I'm at the poker room here most everynight. Your just another game.
EDDtown, in response to this post of yours:

- You in fact did say that you would play any online player for any amount any time and any where. That sounds like a challenge to me. Not only did I merely take you up on your challenge, but I offered to fly to your hometown or wherever you preferred to play in order to make it convenient for you.

- You claim that you were "persistently harassed" by me. Could you please tell me what you are referring to? I have very politely responded to your challenge, I have agreed to come to whereever you would like the match to take place, I have agreed to play for less money (even though you said you would play for any amount), I have agreed to not play in a casino because of your fear of my cheating you using infrared lasers, and I have allowed you to choose any venue, dealers, and logistics of your choosing. Furthermore, I have been consistently respectful and polite to you, even defending your delusional drivel to the other posters that have pilloried you. Now you are claiming that I was persistently harassing you? Again, can you please show me the posts of mine that you took to be harassment?

- You said very clearly that you would get back to me within a day or so (your exact words) with the parameters of the match. It is now 8 or 9 days later, and I am still waiting. Do you not understand how I and others would question your integrity and whether or not you are a man of your word in such an instance?

- You claim to be at the poker room every night and that I am just another game to you. You claim that the regulars in your poker room are the best players in the world. You claim that an internet player would have no chance over you. (I have made it clear that I am almost exclusively an internet player). Yet you refuse to play me in your own home casino because you are afraid of cheating - and when I agree to your terms about playing elsewhere (at a venue of your choosing to boot), you blab about being too concerned about the market to be able to think about setting up the match.

- Once again EDDtown, I request - as respectfully as I am able to at this point - that you honor your word and post here about the venue in which we will play our match. Remember, you believe that you are more than an 80% favorite in this match - and I am willing to come to you and play where you want and on your terms. There is no justification for your continued delaying.

So, once again, will you please indicate to me where you would like this match to take place? You can also provide me a couple of weekends (or weekdays if you prefer) that fit your schedule. We can escrow the money, play with your cards, and do anything else that you need to make the match happen.

I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Samo has played this perfectly, there's zero excuse for Gabe's not playing and zero cause for accusations of harassment against Samo. This is beyond pathetic.

SAMO,

Your way out of line with most of your comments, I never challenged anyone. I said I'd play any online player , mostly as a figure of speech, but whatever, take it out of context. When it was told to you that I actually didn't mean literally to open a challenge to any JoBlow that I didnt know, you persisted. I would never do that to anyone, but whatever, I agreed.


Play anyone for any amount? Are you kidding? Never said that.


I also never said that I thought YOU would cheat using infared lasers. It was obvious my concern was about the casino itself. I've been cheated there before.


And as far as I'm concerned you can hop on a plane tonight. And since YOU were the one wanting to play, It's only obvious that you would be the one flying here, not the other way around. Again, you challenged me.

I will contact John Dolan & Tyler Smith to see if they want to have it. I will contact SAMO by private message.

I will be posting no more to this thread due to the shear Disrespect & moronic comments & obvious ganging up by Ucantcme, baudib, Daliman etc. FO you stupid childish POS.

In all my years of living Ive never heard such stupid things uttered from a group of people.

EDDtown, it is not worth my time to dig through this thread and show you where you said many of the things that you are not claiming not to have said. I'm sure that if I were to cut and paste them to prove to you, you would claim that it was just a figure of speech and not to be taken literally anyway.

If you thought that I would not cheat using infrared lasers, why do you care if we play in a casino? I already agreed not to use sunglasses, so even if the casino (again, the home casino that you are comfortable playing in every night) were 'cheating', there would be no benefit to me in a heads up match.

Once again, I merely accepted your challenge. You later claimed that it was just a figurative challenge (absurd claim btw) and that you meant it only as a figure of speech. Yet somehow, you took that as 'persistent harassment'?

I am happy to come on a plane as soon as you define the parameters of the match and venue such that they are suitable to you. I'm sure you won't have an issue with escrowing the money, correct? I don't want to fly to Biloxi and then find out that you meant the match as a figure of speech.

Change "group of people" to "one person" and I'm in agreement with you on this one.

Seriously, Gabe talks about not having challenged anyone, then a couple posts later REPEATS THE EXACT SAME CHALLENGE to play any online player. Then he backpedals, saying that it's just a "figure of speech." Meaning that he WON'T play any online player. Simple as that.

Honestly, if you really feel that you're an 80% favorite over any online player (which samo has admitted to being a mainly online player), then why are you worried about the stock market. There's no way in hell that you're an 80% favorite over the stock market.

But since you're not posting in this thread anymore, we'll just have to wait for samo to give us updates.

[ ] Updates will come
[ ] Actually Gabe's last post.
[ ] Match will happen

i'd ask you to quote something i've posted that's illogical, but it's a waste of time. i'll just keep quoting all of the stuff you post that is illogical and calling you on it


i wish this thread was slightly shorter so it'd be worth taking the time to find all of EDDs hilarious statements he is claiming not to have made

Obviously Gabe's antics are not indicative of live players in general and clearly not of the Top Ten Live Crew (whoever these titans of poker might be) but if they were, this thread should be renamed:
