Live play vs. Online & why the Top ten players in the world will always be live players - Page 79 - Poker News

Yea. It wasn't a level. Good buffalo wings are good. Bad threads are bad.

Started off with the whoever said the poker on TV thing so I mentioned the Buffalo Wild Wings poker on TV thing ... then I just kept typing.

Either it is a level or your taste as to wings is severely lacking. The sauce is okay but the chicken is usually pure gristle. Ugh.

I once busted Amarillo Slim at a live final table so I am clearly in the top ten live players of all time and will play any one of you online punks heads up for up to $10 if any of you have the guts to get yourself to War, West Virginia.

I mean, I live in Charleston but if you can find your way to War and then to Charleston without getting killed by a coal truck you are a worthy opponent.

I'll even escrow.

Thing is, we have to play pot limit night baseball. Holdem is for dweebs.

No, you see, reads are ONLY for telling you when your opponent is weak, never for when they are strong, therefore you must ALWAYS be aggressive, no matter the situation.

Nowadays most of the "online-kids" who come to play live are on some kind of drugs, good luck getting a reliable live tell.

I think DieHard is right.
How else could one possibly overcome the boredom one-tabling live tends to create? Yet on some psychedelic stuff it might actually become a fascinating experience.

Tyler has over $1.2 million in combined live & online earnings. I think he has done pretty well for himself. I am not certain but do not believe that Tyler Smith is backed by Gabe Costner. Although I know they are friends or acquaintances at the very least.

for some reason I actually find it more fun than 8+ tabling(4 tabling at higher stakes).

...until someone really smelly or unpleasant makes their way there, or annoying obnoxious, etc.

Samo didn't back out. Gabe 'all talk' did.

And I doubt very seriously he had 99 or he prob flats the 3 bet in position. Pretty sure he had complete trash & was using UTG & his image of showing down huge hands over the past hour to his advantage. He may have even picked up something on Claudia, not sure. But I saw when he almost mucked after she 5 bet, then I could see as he talked himself into the raise.

By the way, did i say that she's a much much better player than you.

This hand was shown on ESPN's ME coverage this week btw. I'll let others elaborate...

I read through 51 pages of this thread... I normally never actually laugh out loud when I'm by myself but holy **** EDD made me laugh my ass off. His posts just kept getting more and more delusional. I stopped reading once he started talking about online being rigged and it is only HIS account that is being targeted.. LOL WTF. Would have loved to see the samo match actually go down and EDD getting ****ted on, but it was a long shot.

EDD you are mentally unstable

I just need to leave my mark here saying I actually read the last ten pages (100 posts/page obviously). What a bunch of delusional bulls**t. At times you want to feel sorry for the guy but when he picks a fight he can't win and handles it as poor as possible it gets kind of hard.

Ugh.
