Lol at interpreting this as a grudge match where the money was irrelevant, thinking fistfights are cool and an clear way of determining the superior man, becoming all flirtatious after realizing one of the posters is a girl, not understanding people have fundamental differences in personality, then calling everyone else socially awkward.

I suppose I should go ahead and make it clear right now that any threats of violence will not be tolerated, and any future references to meeting up for the purposes of manly combat will be deleted.

You may now continue the lolz. Thread delivers in ways I never could have imagined those many weeks ago.

He even pulled out the "I have a higher cashing % than anyone in poker" line, as well as most of the lines we have seen in this thread. He said he would play any online player HUNL or PLO for 50k, and I told him I have at least 10 different friends I can call that could be there within the hour. Then he said, ok, how about for 250k, told him I have #'s for that too, and that I have a couple numbers if he wanted to play for multiple millions, should he try to one-up again. Strangely enough, he demurred from there.
This got buried because it was on page 2 or 3, but this isn't the first time All Talk backed down after issuing a challenge.

Yeah, the guy's lack of comprehension is incredible. I actually said the following (how does he not get it - last two sentences in particular):

"I am unclear about whether or not you were actually threatening me with physical violence. If you are, then I happily invite you to fly to Boston. You might get a better understanding of whether or not you should be frightened of "someone that looks like me." And if I don't actually show up, you will have won on a grander scale anyway. Besides, it's called TRAVELING! If you don't come, then you are obviously antisocial."

Samoleus, you are my hero.

And nice links Daliman, as said before putting an image to the posts makes it more lolworthy.

omg I thought Polov was getting owned even before Samoleus showed up.....But MY GOD that massive long post just owned Polov's soul literally dozens of times. you can tell because the only thing Polov responded to was the fight reference that he used to point out how stupid Polov's arguments were.....When the only response he had to all of that text was "YOU WANNA FIGHTT?!?" , you know you have absolutely destroyed that guy.


Polov how about you acknowledge how ******ED all of your arguments are, as Samoleus and several others have demonstrated through the use of logic. Or maybe attempt to come up with a response, like justify your dumazzzz blonde/steak/car comparisons. just lol @ this guy. I'm glad he showed up because Gabe's comedy show has been lacking the past couple of days

Who would have thought that 2 people (Gabe and Polov) could bring so much laughter and joy to sooooo many people. They really should be commended. This thread is epic

Edit: can be more epic if Gabe and twoSHAE actually play a match or Gabe at least pretends that he will play for a while.

One of the funniest Gabe-Polov dynamics has been when Gabe (after swearing for the third or fourth time that he was done posting in this thread ... {guess that word of his is not "as good as gold" after all}) came back to commend Polov on his intelligence and basically suck up to him.

The funniest part about that was that Gabe did that DESPITE POLOV NOT ONLY SAYING THAT GABE WAS WORTHY OF RIDICULE FOR HIS ABSURD CLAIMS, BUT ALSO HAVING CHALLENGED HIM TO A FISTFIGHT. Wow, does that say something about Gabe's self-esteem or what? It's almost too sad to be funny. Almost.

Meanwhile, Polov the raging bull spews hatred mixed with complete idiocy towards everyone, suddenly stops and flirts (including using terms like "you are cool in "mah" book" (the "mah" clearly spelled that way to sound cool) when he finds out that one of his targets is a woman, and then after getting owned and ridiculed over and over again by everyone, completely misses blatant over the top sarcasm from me and literally wants to fly from Miami to Boston (and believes that it is a sign from God that I live in the city where his flight transfers) to fight me.

Until a few days ago, I was agitated by this thread and Gabe's cowardice and antics, because I was looking and expecting an easy 40K. But now that I have given up on it, I am fully appreciating the thread for the comic relief that these two knuckleheads are providing. For now, I'll give the edge to Gabe: the volume and sheer lunacy of his drivel, as well as his kindergarten level spelling and grammar, just barely shade it for me over Polov and his amusing difficulties with reading comprehension and basic logic.

I hadn't been on twoplustwo for a long, long time before this thread. Is it always this fun?

I can't see how Samoleus' post would make the slightest difference to someone that was actually motivated to play.

EDDTown, you should have already known that Samoleus (or any other online player challenger) is going to be thinking your claims are ridiculous, it doesn't take much insight to figure that out. I can't believe someone that prides themselves on reading ppl didn't already expect this - it should be irrelevant whether he made that post or continued to keep it to himself: you should not have been surprised by it.

Are HU matches really supposed to include stipulation that neither player offends the other?! Come on! Pushing each others buttons is all part of the process! Do you really need to be buddy-buddy with whoever takes you up on your "challenge"? Pick someone to escrow the money with (nitty details, lol) and let's get this done!

Only in NVG, samoleus. We're happy to have you.

...
I have no need or desire to fly to Missouri and play poker as a means of being social.
...
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for me to insist on having the parametrics of the match defined and the money escrowed before I find someone to watch my son and disrupt my life to fly to Missouri.
Just wanted to point out another reason this match was unlikely.

I don't think that would have been any deterrent whatsoever if Gabe was serious about playing. Of course I wanted to play for more, but 40K of easy money is more than enough for me to fly to Missouri, Podunkville, or anywhere else for a few days.

Heh, I know. Just taking the piss, samo.

I'm still rooting for this thing to go down.

Heh - me too! Not holding my breath though. Guess I was naive for thinking that Gabe had any respect for his word or his honor.

Couple things -

LOL @ Polov saying "if you fly to Biloxi and Gabe backs down, you can just vacation like a baller for a few days..."

I think we might be talking about a different Biloxi.

Also, I happen to know the guys making those videos IRL as well, and had never seen those before, and holy guacamole, this thread is just constantly crushing its personal best for entertainment/comedic value!
