Sometimes when you're short-stacked in a donkament you resteal and get it in with the worst hand? You don't say!

I'm guessing Raptor is going to come in here with the usual "it's my blog you don't have to read it if you don't like" bull**** but the fact is he's a public figure in the poker world and a representative of Cardrunners and it just looks really bad for him to say what he did on a website that a lot of people read. This thread probably would have been better off as a PM but it's still uncalled for.

Anyway, congratulations Rich. Even aside from your donkament luckboxing, you've accomplished a ton at poker in this past year. It was fun hanging out with you in Vegas.

but seriously man, grow up. Its his personal blog of his thoughts, free speech.
it shouldnt matter what other people think about you. theres always going to be haters. sadly today thats not the case for most people.
You should want people to think you are a donkey if you truly care about your ev.[/QUOTE]

Well said, however CR has been falling behind in solid content compared to the other sites.

Why can't he back up his friend by saying positive things? Poker isn't a ****ing soccer match; you don't yell and say how terrible the opponent is. What if his friend was playing some famous live pro HU? Then the play probably would actually be terrible but there's like a 0% chance you'd hear Raptard shouting about it. I had a bunch of friends there who were pretty emotionally involved with everything too, but not once did they say or do anything to distract or diss my opponent, even when he called a 30bb shove with K4.

First congrats to both of you. Secondly I was there sweating and cheering for Joe and you guys both played medicore at best headsup IMO. I'm not saying that either of you are bad but you both made what I thought were huge mistakes headsup with 20-30 bb stacks. I think Dave would agree and I'm sure has/will talk to Joe about some of the mistakes that he made.

That being said, dude you ran super hot. Joe was like over 95% to have won the bracelet at some point after the 9th or 10th all in. It obviously sucks for you since in the end all the flips you won didn't amount to anything, and Joe binked you with the OESD but common, you won 500k, be happy and get over Dave being super stressed/yelling because you ran hot as **** for 2 hours.

Also LOL at you thinking you are better at 6m cash then Dave. He is like one of the best 6m cash players in the world. I will book a lot of money on him having a higher winrate at any form of No Limit Holdem.

Kind of a rant but in the end congrats on your score and just man up.

edit: It was a reshove for 20 bbs and Joe's call was awful.

double edit: It wasn't cool for Dave to call you terrible etc, but it was super funny to watch. The point about you taking your 500k and manning up still stands.

Oh for Christs sake what a whiney b1tch. Go light some scented candles and menstruate.

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Raptor criticized my play. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.



And are you booking your own side action on a series of 6 Max games against him?

I understand what you're saying nuts. While it wasn't Raptor, a cr pro did criticize my play AND ME a while ago in a vid (criticizing my play is 1 thing/fine, but saying "things about me personally" isn't cool imo) I don't mind if people flame on 2+2, cause at least I can flame back etc.

So....I was a member, I'm no longer a cr member. I no long recomend them, and I too, point everyone to dueces cracked when they're looking for a good video training site.

I was also over 95% to flop a pair at some point during the first 3 hours of the match but that didn't really happen either.

I don't think you get the right to type stupid stuff about an instruction site, just because a member of the site was not acting like a total gentleman while watching a friend of his play for a lot of money and getting sucked out non stop.

You are way over-reacting. And you make your reaction in public. Just send him a pm if you want to have a word with him. If you did that, it would be an ok reaction, and I am pretty sure he might have blogged about it, saying he is sorry.


And yeh, that "I am better than raptor in 6max" comment was pretty funny. It is like thesnowflake's 6MAX4ROLLZ challenge. I think he would eat 99.9% of online players alive in an equal number of tables ip an oop. Maybe you are an exception, but if you agree he will crush you in HU, I don't think you are.

Edit: and yeh, I would bet 30% of my net worth 1:1 on a fair bet on whether or not he will crush your winrate in 6max, or in any kind of NLHE.

You just won 500k. ****ing be happy dude. This is like when Joe Hachem and Brandon Cantu complain about how bad they run.

rakemeplz, don't worry. Dave likes money so I'm sure the challenge is coming soon.

there is no challenge. that would add a lot of pressure to my play for no good reason. I do think Dave is an excellent player but I'm not so bad myself. i'll just say im not going to shy away from games he's in on stars and if you actually care you can rail.

I was watching the live broadcast and you said "what the ****?!" when he flipped his cards or something along those lines, thought that was pretty douche

also, linky to raptors blog? ima cr dummie and can't find it

I don't know you and had to look some details of this match on pokernews, but one thing I would definitely do when I won 500K after running like god and only failing to get there on the 13'th all in is go flame the other guy's friends in BBV. yep, that definitely sounds like something worth doing 12 hours after a huge score.

but BBV is all about the salty tears of losing prop bettors that I'm pretty sure Raptor is about to deliver us, so at least the thread has that going for it

This was two months ago and you were playing 3/6.
So unless you have moved up stakes a lot since then, which seems unlikely if you were playing a lot of events.
First you claim to be a better 6max player than him.
Then withdraw that claim and say you will play in games he is in.
Then it turns out you don't even play anything close to the stakes he plays.

lolgoodfirstpostnot. I am definitely not a CR member. I don't actually know any person in real life who is happy about being a CR member.

And to all the people calling me whiny and ungrateful-- I don't give a **** about money. It's a peripheral benefit in the overall enjoyment I get from poker. I do however care how people in the poker community treat me and what is said about me.

You looked pretty sad when he binked that 5 on turn.
Anyways hopefully I stop posting in this thread cause I'm starting to feeling like a troll. Bottom line congrats dude hope you enjoy the dough.
