HU Brag: Troll Pie vs. Full Tilt Pros - Lifetime +ROI...

[lightfungus]

You musta been read as loose/aggressive for him to call down on the last hand, no?

Also, I don't think there is anything more infuriating to know that you folded to a post oak...god that ruffles my feathers.

Updating this old thread...

I thought I posted about it at the time, but I can't find it anywhere. JJ Liu sat down and played me about a month ago, and she beat me. She was easily the "worst" pro I've played. That put me to 3-3 lifetime against the FT Pros.

Today, Martin Klaeser sat down with me. I didn't even know he was a pro until I happened to notice the red in the tourney lobby. I've never heard of him, nut he was easily the best of the bunch I've played HU to date.

I managed to win though, mostly thanks to this a big cooler hand where I flopped top set with KK and he made two pair catching both his A and 9 on the turn and river (I played the hand well and doubled up).

Finished him off here:

4-3.

My very unofficial ranking of the pros I've played to date, based on HU SNG skill alone (very small sample size, mind you):

Martin Klaeser (1-0)
Jennifer Harman (2-2)
Barry Boatman (1-0)
JJ Liu (0-1)

I'd play JJ Liu all day long, but I think I'd actually avoid Klaeser - and I don't say that about very many people HU. His style is exploitable, but I'd prefer to play the passive types than the very aggro ones.

Klaeser won a huge freeroll back late last year. I don't think he really has any other notable tournament results. Interesting bio on him though:

I played and beat Scott Montgomery today. He was good, but exploitable. I don't feel that I have a significant edge against him though. I won because I ran better. Updating my list, ranked very unofficially in order of their HU SNG skill level:

Martin Klaeser (1-0)
Scott Montgomery (1-0)
Jennifer Harman (2-2)
Barry Boatman (1-0)
JJ Liu (0-1)

Total: 5-3

I played Nikolay Evdakov a couple of weeks ago and went 0-2 again him. He wasn't horrible, but I wasn't overly impressed. He coolered me pretty big in both matches.

Today, I played and beat Raul Oliveira. He was good enough that I declined the rematch, which says a lot.

Here is my updated, very unofficial ranking of the FT "Pros" I have played based on their HU SNG skills:

Martin Klaeser (1-0)
Scott Montgomery (1-0)
Raul Oliveira (1-0)
Jennifer Harman (2-2)
Nikolay Evdakov (0-2)
Barny Boatman (1-0)
JJ Liu (0-1)

Total: 6-5

Pretty funny that I have a winning record against the pros I feel are the most skilled... and I lost to freaking JJ Liu.

Ran like freaking hell tonight, but fortunately Full Tilt Pro Matt Sexton sat down to try to take a piece of me, and he DIDN'T suck out like the donks were.

My updated list:

Martin Klaeser (1-0)
Scott Montgomery (1-0)
Raul Oliveira (1-0)
Jennifer Harman (2-2)
Nikolay Evdakov (0-2)
Matt Sexton (1-0)
Barny Boatman (1-0)
JJ Liu (0-1)

Total: 7-5

Since they dropped JJ you can take that loss off the tally.

Was not aware of that. What does it take for one to be de-reded?

Maybe it's being ranked last in this thread. Barny better watch out the next time I update my list.
