TP Admin v. Aequitas58 - WINNER TAKE ALL.

[Defendant]

God Lou, how much of a drama queen can you possibly be? I mean seriously, chill.

"Fine, Ill just take my 30$"...sounds to me like a 4yo throwing a fit and saying "Im going home AND IM TAKING MY BALL!!"

You made an offer, TP made a counteroffer, accept it or not, but dont make it into a freaking soap opera.

Jeez

how about TP sends you $30 and you guys play a $20 HU and winner take all? if you win you get your $50 while not risking $30 to win $20 and if you lose you still have $10 to play some cheap MTT's.

[drewjax]

Please dont turn this forum into one that has all this crap contstantly. Make a decision, play or dont play. but if I want to see people all over each other I'll go back to RGP. No please no, I cant take it anymore. RGP is the devil, not UB.

CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG. lol

[Tilter]

LOL, this seems good. Ill keep looking up this post for tiem and date. I want to be there when this match goes down!

Edit: Very weak on Aeq's part. You put up a challenge, then you don't back down.

[Talking Poker]

I thought it would be fun too, but I don't see it happening. Maybe if I put up $1000 if Aeq wins but I get 5 bucks if I win, he'll play. That would be a pretty good EV for him, wouldn't it?

Whatever. I thought this was all in good fun, but I too find it annoying now (like drewjax said). If I cave in and play for the $30 or $60, then I'll have to do that with everyone, so I don't think I should. Then again, maybe this could be "the Aeq exception" and everyone else would be a little more reasonable/understanding.

[Penguinfan]

So you are open to other challeneges? I have not collected anything yet from the pay for post fund so I would be game.

[Aequitas58]

Now the insults are friendly banter. If that's the truth, then I don't care about the insults, but I feel like your backpeddling.

Whatever...

I'm not surprised everyone aligns with you, because you are, after all, the forum moderator. I'm sure if we play, Tone will still look for action. I will get bitched at before we play, during our play, and then after our play - even when I beat you. [Now that's friendly banter.]

So, I'll wash my hands of this thread. It's funny that you (and that's plural) consider my counter-arguments as just bullshit - and I'm a crybaby.

So, if you want to play, then we'll play. Set up your own rules, do whatever you wanna do - I'm down. My arguments are not a way to get out of playing you - I'm confident in myself.... just pointing out how the deal changed after we agreed on it.

Again - whatever.

Am I playing for $50... or, by the end of the week will it change to $45?

[hackers238]

Well I kind of agreed with Aeq here. I mean, you agreed to give him the $30. So after you give him the $30, he is challenging you to a seperate, $30 buy-in heads up game. That way if you win, you get your thirty bucks back, and if he wins he wins another 30, because he is putting up 30.

Am I seeing this wrong?

EDIT: Oh, and PS... I'm rooting for TP

[SirFWALGMan]

Whatever happens do it on Party or Empire and let me watch! I really want to see you two slug it out. Although it could all be over in 3 seconds. I am not really pulling for one or the other, (ok, maybe a tiny bit in TPs favor). I have not seen either of you play so I can not comment on who is better. Even if one person wins (let's say TP) it does not prove anything. As the old proverb goes "Any given Sunday". The real proof of your play is how you do long term. What your BB/100 is over 50K hands, etc..

Having said that it will be a blast seeing all the smack talk going on. I think everyone should take the $x that TP have given, we all sit in a private 10-person table and fight it out among ourselves for title of reining champion of the board for the month! Included in the title is the right to talk any smack you want for the month and nobody can disagree because you kicked there asses. lol. It is good to see some "friendly" banter in the forum!

[Talking Poker]

You are seeing this kinda right, kinda wrong. Yes, I can give Aeq $30 and that will be the end of it, and I suspect that's what's going to happen. But he challenged me to a heads up match to try to get more than the $30. I said sure, and offered to play for $50 or $0, depending on who won. And then all hell broke loose.

I don't really see how he is entitled to get to play me though. What is he insisted on playing for $100 or $0. Would you side with him then? Or only because he wants to play for exactly double what I "owe" him?

[Talking Poker]

*sigh* There's no backpeddling here. I even told you on AIM to be prepared to talk lots of smack.

And yes, I agreed to play you, but I didn't agree to play you for $60 and then change my mind. I suggested the $50 thing almost right away... within minutes of your first offer.

If you want to play for $50 or $0 (in lieu of the $30), just say so and you're on. Otherwise, I'll transfer the $30 to you at Empire.

[junYUN]

why doesn't this just end, and you can give him the $30 then you guys can play heads up for 20-30-40-50-100-100000 or whatever. that way he gets his correct EV and you get the chance to beat him and take your money back. seems simple enough to me.

[Aequitas58]

Well, in my previous post, I said we'd play if you want. $50 or whatever you wanna do - whatever you feel is fair.

Just a quick question - we DID talk earlier about the $30 transfer (before talking about playing heads up) and you agreed to transfer to Stars. Are you now saying that's not a viable option either?

Curious because you originally transferred the $25 on Stars as well....

[Talking Poker]

How funny that I basically just wrote the same thing BEFORE I read this - the 4 year old comment, I mean. LOL...
