I for one, actually believed in your integrity despite your obvious lunacy. Obviously, I was wrong to do so.

Game's always been on for Samo, Gabe just had to push his bull**** harder and harder until Samo lost some of his cool so that he'd have an excuse to back away from the challenge.

Gabe, you're pathetic. Or as you'd say..."your pathetic"

My AA was cracked by 33! After samoleous backed out, I continued to offer my challenge against any of the online players. Even jungleman refused to play me . . ."

the clear issue, IMO, is that Gabe has no intention of playing.

My money is always where my mouth is & as I stated I will play someone else if they want to play, but I would never sit at the same table as Samo after disrepecting me.
how do you not understand why samo was annoyed when literally every single other person in this thread, regardless of opinion on the topics, understands?

you have to be eager to become more eager. gabe never had ANY intention of playing this match.

it becomes obvious when samo makes one accurate and annoyed post, and gabe snap backs out officially.

In fact I can see it becoming an accepted term in the poker world - 'Yeah, I'll take you up on the challenge, just don't Gabe out on me...' etc

Thread has been amusing for the fact you knew the match was never gonna happen and it was just a case of seeing how he'd try and wriggle out.
I like this a lot.

Although I think it sounds better as something like, 'You better not Costner me' or, 'Don't fkn pull a Costner'

I'll give you an easy was to restore your reputation.

Speak to someone who is respected/known in the poker community who will agree to act as escrow for a match. Post ITT saying so, have that person post as well.

Once this information has been posted, I guarantee that within hours (maybe minutes) someone will step up to play you. And if noone steps up to play you, it doesn't matter. Prove that you are willing to play, and your reputation will be restored. At this point though, you are Gabe (ALL TALK) Costner and you're not gonna change that with nothing more than ... well, with nothing more than more talk.

GL.
two or more reputable people have already vouched for Dolan (the escrow Gabe suggested), so that shouldn't be much of an issue anymore unless 'All Talk' somehow turns it into one again.





the new issue is that Samo hurt Gabe's feelings with this extremely accurate assessment

For your sake I hope you're just trolling, but even then, leading Samo on like you were actually going to play is pretty scummy. If you're going to troll don't actually **** with people's lives as in make them prepare for something you don't intend on doing. Then again if you're a troll your morals probably aren't very evolved.

I don't think either one of them wanted to ever go through with the match. Gabe, finally gave in, probably just to save face and samo knew ranting like he did at Gabe was going to assure that the match wasn't going to happen.

Why go off on the guy after there's a date set (or at least a specific time frame)

I don't think samo is scared but what I do think is that for what ever reason he didn't want to go thru with the match and gave Gabe the out.

I imagine if she's been with him for 2+ years or whatever she is fully invested in his BS, especially since she is now the best female player in the world due to him.

i strongly disagree with all of this, besides the first sentence where you assert Gabe never wanted to go thru with it.

samo responded immediately every single time Gabe said ANYTHING about the match, which was rare. i think, if anything, samo might have thought his rant would get Gabe to play sooner. the rant also might have been a result of frustration given the fact that samo really wanted to play, and it was becoming more and more obvious that Gabe was weaseling/backing/'Costnering' out (to everyone in the thread, not just him) -- even when Samo had been extremely polite and MORE THAN accommodating to make the match happen ASAP at Gabe's convenience.

i think it is more logical to think that if there is bad blood between two people, they have even more incentive to take each others money (especially in skilled competition). i mean, most of these matches start over two people disliking each other, or some sort of more heated disagreement than the one here.

samo has also since then stated multiple times that he will buy a plane ticket within 24 hours of Gabe escrowing. given all the Gabe's delusion and mindless ranting in this thread, i personally believe samo feels very confident in a match against him. he has even stated he wants to put an additional 125k on himself at -150 to make the match happen.

i could obviously be way off with my assessment, but your opinion was devoid of much explanation. And the two tidbits you did give aren't much evidence that samo doesn't want to play: there was a date set -- which was tentative, and given Gabe's previous backpedaling I don't see why samo would think it was set in stone. and samo's rant was purposely to give Gabe an out -- which doesn't hold much water IMO given samo's tone throughout the thread and his statements after that comment

Well, he had this to say earlier:

"She's aware of it & read some, she's pretty amazed at how ignorant some of the players are of some of the factors involved in live & also how argumentative they are."

Then again, that's Gabe's "take" on what she thinks. Or more likely, Gabe just made that up. I mean if Claudia has read this thread and that's her opinion then wow, just wow.

I hope Gabe comes back to this thread, most entertaining thread since "Another kid, another dream" IMO.

Samo wanted to play 100%, that I guarantee you. I know you've been defending Gabe "All Talk" Costner a lot in this thread, but how you can continue to do so in even the weakest terms as in this post I don't understand. Samo was ready to go, and Gabe "All Talk" Costner dragged his feet just long enough to get Samo frustrated with dealing with Gabe "All Talk" Costner's ******ation. Obv the escrow would need to happen BEFORE Samo flew out, not when he flew out, as obv Gabe "All Talk" Costner would just back out. Then threats of violence from basic frustration, gotta love it. Also gotta love how Gabe "All Talk" Costner saw a pic of samo and figured he's some skinny Indian nerd whose ass he could easily kick, but samo even raises him there. Gotta be demoralizing, but in Gabe "All Talk" Costner's world of delusion, all is still well I'm sure.

I don't think I've defended Gabe in the thread, I've spoken to him in a reasonable way but I don't think I defended him. (Unless you mean when I called out a bunch of tards for well talking like a bunch of tards.

The one thing I would edit in my recent post is the "ever" in the first sentence as I do believe that samo did want to play him, I just think samo had enough of the whole thing and gave Gabe the out.

you're stating the obvious. samo has obviously had enough of the whole thing. samo did want to play him.

where i believe you're wrong is that samo does STILL want to play him and was not trying to give Gabe an out with his post. he would still happily play him at the drop of a hat if Gabe 'All Talk' Costner's actions would back up all of the things he has said in this thread.

all Gabe needs to do is:
find an escrow (or confirm Dolan since a couple of known people have vouched for him),
set a date/place for the match (which you claimed had already been done -- although I only see a tentative two week window for the date, and the venue has not been confirmed by anyone besides Gabe in this thread),
and send 40k to the escrow.

samo has said after this he will get a plane ticket within 24 hours, and i have no idea why you don't think he would stick to his word on this.

given all of Gabe's talk in this thread, I don't think Samo's expectations of Gabe getting these three things done promptly is unreasonable at all. his frustration should almost be expected. remember, samo offered to do EVERYTHING to set up the match IMMEDIATELY himself, as well as fly to Gabe's hometown to play at Gabe's convenience. Gabe 'All Talk' Costner, though, was busy continuing to reiterate the drivel he has spewed throughout this thread, while ignoring Samo's posts/requests.

Not stating the obvious, so to speak, just making a correction to my post, to be more clear.

What's done is done, you and I and anyone else with a half a brain knows this match aint happenin

I think you're way off thinking that Samo didn't want to go through with the match, I have no idea why anyone would even think that. Samo perhaps gave him an out but I have no reason to doubt what he said - that he just got frustrated or whatever. By the time Samo spoke his mind it was clear the match wasn't going to happen anyway.

Yeah, Shared Psychotic Disorder (formerly known as "Folie a deux", which roughly translates to "madness shared by two") is extremely rare and not normally fodder for entertainment. I've never known anyone personally without at least a couple of psych courses in their background who has ever heard of it.

Pretty fascinating concept, tho, don't you think? Basically if what he says is true, Claudia has become nuts just by associating with him. Sad.

Although in this case I don't think it's really a psychosis so much as it's a paranoid and delusional mindset. Still basically in touch with reality, but an extremely warped view of it.
