And 90% of my chips came from INTERNET PLAYERS. My whole strategy revolved around watching them & taking their chips because they were the ones splashing around in pots the most. Not bragging, but that's just how it is.
the fact that you think this sample size of less than 50 tournaments means anything shows how ****ing stupid you are

Big talk, but when push comes to shove, the big disappearing act. We've seen it all before, many times.

Put up, or shut up.
This. He said he will come to you. He will let you pick the casino or hire dealers. He has been respectful and willing to meet you more than half way. Why won't you play him?

Amazing all the haters on this forum, Don't be defensive & jeaulous, If you can't take constructive criticism from someone better than you, you will never get better & don't deserve to get better.


My purpose for this thread was only to set the record straight on the Online BS, Everytime I sit at a table now I have to listen to online players talk down to everyone at the table, so next time you see the weak tight old man limp in, look to see whos sitting behind you before you make it so obvious that your going to isolate him with any two & barely look at you hand, There just might be someone at the table that knows

Samoleus did not hate nor was he defensive or jealous. He gave all of your arguements the benefit of the doubt. He offered to come to you, allow you to pick the setting and play you in a format that you believe would be +EV for you. He is willing to play for high stakes and make it worth your time.

Why won't you accept?

Also just a last post for the day, I've pretty much proven my point here, anyone arguing at this point is in denial & bending facts to their point of view.


As far as playing the online kid HU, I believe he will be a great player because he at least is open minded to the fact that I might be right & seems willing to learn, If I had to guess probably his main motivation is to find out something that he might not be aware of, That's the key to getting better.

I feel sorry for the ones here that continue to argut against someone that obviously has better results & just might know more than them. It's pretty sad.


I never said that I wouldn't play him, I would if I ran into him & had time on my hands, but its not worth my time to schedule anything to do so. I don't see the point, I don't believe I'm obligated to play anyone. Do you know how much luck is involved in playing HU, variance. Would who wins & loses really prove much in the short term?

Samoleus was very kind & there was nothing wrong with his offer, He has much more integrity than most here & was humble enough to admit that there might be some other side to the game that he's not aware of.

IMO you have made some valid points ITT. However, you are rude and arrogant, even by the standards of this forum and this post is a fine example of that. You would do well to develop a touch of humility and be a little more respectful of others. GL.

But you know whats even funnier, The intelliect & logic applied by the naive internet players on this forum, I've never laughed so hard in my life & some of the post you make.

I don't understand why there is such mystery with the common sense logic behind this thread. My results pretty much speak for themselves. I've been proving people wrong ever since I started playing poker.


I'm not even a tourney player & the first year I played tournaments I finished with the most final tables, I've mowed through fields of thousands of players including the 2nd biggest field ever & the 1st biggest field outside of the main event to hold chip leads in both with less than 1% of the field left, including a final table on the biggest 2k field ever. And 90% of my chips came from INTERNET PLAYERS. My whole strategy revolved around watching them & taking their chips because they were the ones splashing around in pots the most. Not bragging, but that's just how it is.

The stupid thing is that I used to play online, millions of hands online & at one point was #1 in full tilt frequent points after the site first opened, So I know 99% of what any online kid knows, plus I know all the other stuff they don't about live poker, because I've been playing it since before NL first blew up in the casinos. I'm definately seen more live hands than 99% of the players that have played in the past 10 years since NL cash started being spread in the casinos. I spent that part of my life studying it, So yea when I say I can play with anyone, I can back it up. I also put my money where my mouth is, just like when I said I would never wear an internet logo. That doesnt mean that I care to bounce around the country & play some online player HU, I don't care because I don't have to prove anything, Ive already did it. When I say that in 10 years of playing I've never played with anyone that I feel can extract more money out of a game when the cards run average, I'm just being honest.
So let me get this straight:

-You have played MILLIONS of hands online, (FWIW, I have probably played 2-3M hands online, doing it for a living for almost 7 years.)

-You have played more hands than almost anyone live. (You're 34)

- You had more FTP FPP's than anyone when the site first started, even though that's never been publicized in my experience.

For someone who has nothing to prove, because you're already did it(...), you certainly are trying to prove yourself with a bunch of unverifiable claims and ridiculous statements.

Man up. Play Samoleus. He's just some long-haired Indian internet kid who would get soulcrushed by your impeccable reading skills.

Ah, who am I kidding, you're scared, and all talk. That's ok, you should be scared. Hell, I would be, and I play better than you.

You're not better than me, or many of the people posting in this thread, and you write like you're 12. Them's facts. But continue talking crap and pussing out.

Actually, he was just humoring you. Anything he could do to get you to play him, but yes, again, nice job pussing out.

Standard live donk, "I'm the greatest, I don't need to prove it" Throws out challenges, then when snap accepted, makes excuses.

Obv you learned from Hellmuth, but at least he has a leg to stand on. You're just some goober who ran hot at tournaments, has a bit of poker skill, and thinks he's the best player in the world. There's dozens of guys like you, and you're all a joke. You're barely a step above Iceman.

I'm pretty disappointed that Gabe backed down from the challenge after being the one to issue it, in the first place. (and a little embarrassed for him)

I guess he wasn't really expecting someone to take him up on it.......bad read Gabe

Hint Hint: I'm nice to most people that might give me free money.

Hint Hint Hint: Claiming your the best, Offering an open challenge and wussing out will get you hated on most forums, poker or anything else.

Hint Hint Hint Hint: I'm getting massively trolled.

I am tied for world record...I flipped a coin three times and it came heads all three times. I challenge anybody to live quarter flipping challenge. Has to be coins of my choosing though b/c I believe I could be cheated if we flipped coins that weren't mine.

I would say this is a bit of an exaggeration considering your friend wrote this about her in his blog:

Just last year...when things were going like **** for her...and she was waiting tables to make ends meet, I was staking HER...in some tourneys at the IP...trying to help her make a score and turn things around.

Claudias won a quarter of million playing the past couple years, We went bust in the financial crises, the guy that was quoted knows the story. Neither of us have ever lost playing poker other than short bad run.


I came to Vegas last year with hardly anything & left 3/4 mill richer, she won about 75k of it in the 5/10/25 & 25/50 PLO games.
