kinda like expert bum hunting...

Wicked thread..


Would completely piss myself laughing if he uses tell reads and crushes

Sounds good. A hot chick kicking my ass usually runs me $150 an hour in LV.

Either way, playing only mitigates your Gabe "All Talk" Costner slightly. Winning the match would go a bit further. But you have earned your nickname fairly and as far as most are concerned I would guess, only agreeing to take this match out of shame. That said, I will deign to change your nickname from Gabe "All Talk" Costner to Gabe "Big Talk" Costner should you play Samo and win.

I will once again, however, implore samo to get that money escrowed before he buys a ticket.

Agreed. I think this is where the deal will break. How can somebody as paranoid as Gabe find somebody he can trust to send a $40k escrow?

I agreed to play her 3 2k freezeouts at 5-10 with a 5 to 50k side bet on the 2-1 Gabe "All Talk" Costner offered me. That offer holds for all time with me. I never said anything about 40k, as I don't have it since I waste my roll on things like food, shelter, and diapers.

OK EDDtown did respond today confirming the dates that I suggested. Given the way this challenge has gone - what with all of the miscommunication between literal and figurative statements - I will of course insist on escrowing the money beforehand. Is there someone that knows EDDtown that would be willing to handle the escrow? I'm not too paranoid, but I'd like it to be someone that I either know or someone that can be vouched for by a couple of people that I know.

how will this match be recorded so people can follow?

also, BUTTERFLY PONY will of course be willing the funds to make this happen.

i have reputable standing in the 2+2 community and lots of people can vouch for me.

Lol You've just lost the small amount of credibility you had. You realize if your opponent shoved 100% of hands it'd be impossible to win 80% of your matches? Obviously the opponent wouldn't do this in practice, but point being your equity in all ins will be below 80% the majority of the time.

whoops sorry cannot edit for whatever reason:

PM me for stars sn, 5% vig is fair i think.

I'm not sure if this post was intended as a joke or not, but I am obviously not going to pay $4000 to escrow 80k for the match. I have a number of friends and colleagues that are well known and have a very high standing in the poker community that would escrow the money for free.

EDDtown, are you willing to escrow with someone of my choosing? If so, I can contact someone and will likely be able to arrange it within 24 hours. Please let me know ASAP.

I'm 100% positive that this is true.



But if for some reason the two of you can not find an escrow that you both agree on then feel free to PM me about it. Any fees involved in transferring the money back and forth would be on you two in whatever way you would decide to work that out between the two of you ...... and I may charge 1%. No need to attack me for saying I'd charge 1%. Simply say no thanks if you want. I do not know either of you personally. I just won't do it without getting something. Maybe that sounds bad, but I just wouldn't.

But I assume you can work it out other than that. So good luck to you both. And I look forward to seeing how this comes out.

Lego, not only am I not going to attack you, but I was not attacking butterfly pony either - and I hope that my post did not come across that (though I think a 5% vig for an escrow is just silly). There is no reason for me to expect you or anyone else that we don't know to do this for free. That being said, I think it would be foolish for EDDtown and I to pay a vig when I can easily get a high standing member of the poker community with an impeccable reputation to do it for free.

Having said that, I appreciate your offer - and if in fact I am wrong about the players that I know being willing to do this - I will revisit your offer. Thanks!

betting lines not happening yet cuz people think match won't happen or cuz no one will take action on Gabe at any line?

suit yourself, but i am VERY reputable

- butterfly pony

butterfly pony, I hope you did not take my post as my questioning your integrity. I believe you that you are indeed very reputable. I just think paying 5% vig just for a match escrow is silly. As I said, I have several highly reputable - and famous (in the poker community) - friends and colleagues that I expect to do this for free. And if I am wrong about that, there will be plenty of others that will do it for five times less than what you are asking (or less).

Again, this is not a reflection on your being reputable at all: just the amount that you were requesting. Thanks for the offer, but I will respectfully decline.

This.

I am willing to escrow with one of his friends or someone that he knows as long as I can get a couple of people to vouch for that person.

In b4 EDDTown refuses Galfond as an escrow because he doesn't think the guy is trustworhty due to being an online player, lol.

Samo, you're being leveled by Pony; No one respectable (in the community or as a human being) would charge 5% vig, but respect for responding seriously still, wish I had your patience.

thank you god for this thread

I don't know who you are but I think you just lost any decent reputation. Offering to hold cash for $4000. You must think we are complete morons. People like you amaze me

Little tidbits of irony.

Good luck to both of you guys.

I think it would be a great idea to host this match online somewhere.

LMAO

EDDtown, I agree with you that the vig that butterfly pony was trying to charge is comical - and it goes without saying that we will not pay anything close to that. However, I think we ought to give him the benefit of doubt that he was just clueless and/or just levelling as some kind of a joke.

the irony

shoot you beat me to it
