Live play vs. Online & why the Top ten players in the world will always be live players - Page 75 - Poker News

I know exactly what you mean. The other night i was playing in a 5-10 7 63 46 3.14 42 13 1400 333 7-11 game, which as I'm sure you know, means i was in a 5-10 seven handed game with a 63 year-old man who looked exactly like Buddy Ryan that was eating some pie and kept talking as if he knew the answer to everything but got unlucky and lost $1400 with bottom set versus a gentleman from Pakistan.

Obv

Quoted for awesomeness!

Why did you do that 5/10/300-thing? You had me up until that part but then suggested a crazy structure which destroyed all my naivety. =(
Other than that the UTG blind-limp/3-bet + inflate pot-size stuff made it way too obvious. Also the chick + beer story was over-the-top while still possible.
Overall an enjoyable and for the most part well written read nontheless. I just don't get why you put so much effort into it and then blow your cover by ridiculous ante/straddle-sizes (whatever of which it meant to be) so early in the text. Maybe you meant to write 300c?

Can someone post an update/summary? I read through about pg 90, scimming over much of it. I am really curious if a match still seems like there is any possibility or if all hope is lost. This is one pf the funniest things I've ever read. I pray that Gabe makes another tv table with someone that is familiar with this thread.

and Gabe making a tv table with anyone familiar with 2p2 is such a hilarious thought

When given the chance to back this up, he wusses out, which he did live also, (when sitting with me). I and a few others have repeatedly pwned him in numerous ways, yet he is still oblivious and solipsistic. Also, his GF is the best female player in the world according to him, because he taught her to play.

That pretty much covers it.

I appreciate the kudos. If you were to pay close attention, however, you will see I started off taking it quite easy on Gabe "All Talk" Costner, until he started getting more personally insulting and delusional.

I hereby challenge OP to a $0.01/$0.02 HU (500BB min) deep live cash game at my kitchen table.
Should challenge be accepted I offer giving 4/1 on a side-bet of $55.31 on terms of playing an agreed on number of hands.
Also free food and beverage as well as one cigarette break for every 107 hands included.
Furthermore I will gladly offer live coaching on how to make yourself seem even more ridiculous and out of touch with reality on the internetz than ever before.

The nickname you gave him makes me want to see him make a tv table even more. I can def hear Mike Sextons laugh on top of Vince Vanpattons dramatic "Oh boy, Gabe 'all talk' Costners gonna do it. He's making the call" Please God. One time.

Pretty much left this thread alone, but wanted to clear one thing up. At no point did this douche Daliman ever offer to play as I would have paid the dealer, floorman, & permanent chip runner for Daliman. I did offer to put up my girlfriend against him & this will happen for sure if he agrees next time we are in Vegas. Not sure why he continues to lie. I play with much better players everyday.

so daliman insults you throughout this thread pretty thoroughly over and over (reasonably so) and you want to play him?

and samoleus makes one post that you find insulting and you immediately call off the match.

what is wrong with you?

If the match were online yes. Live, I think we have to separate Gabes "unusual" views from his poker skills. Samoleus would be a big favorite of course but I think that it would be a stretch to say that just anyone could take him live.

The thing that makes this thread interesting is that Gabe is not exactly a fish. I don't buy his 80% favorite blah blah blah stuff but I don't just dismiss his tournament results. Small sample size yes but still very nice.

That being said, unless someone happens to be planning a trip to Mississippi, I think this thread has about run its course. Its been a fun one though.

Like another poster pointed out, you'll bend over backwards to play Daliman, who has insulted you plenty, yet you won't play samoleous who insulted you ONE time??! hypocrisy Gabe? Are you smart enough to understand why your actions make no sense? God are you this delusional in your real life?

This thread has gone way way beyond its purpose (whatever it was) and has gone way way beyond its secondary purpose. The third purpose has IMO been well taken care of.

There is no more purpose.

Let's just end it ...
