TP Admin v. Aequitas58 - WINNER TAKE ALL.

Aequitas58 · #1 12-02-04, 08:16 AM

You take a debate, and you make it personal. Your arguments basically consist of attacks on me, and although it makes you look great in front of the newbies posters, I think it's uncalled for.

To begin with our AIM conversation, you were originally OK with the deal. Then, when we talked later, you changed up the odds.

Bragging rights? First of all, they're not priceless . You are the admin of a poker forum and an amateur player... not a professional. It might look great to the newbies signed up at this forum, but I don't see myself running around telling everyone how I beat you. (Which I won't cuz you're so good, right?) Second, if I'm not mistaken, I don't remember posting anything about my win over 2Tone when we played heads-up.

Talk about the free tee-shirts again - `cause I'm cheap, right? I don't wanna get into it - I was thinking advertising / marketing, and it gets your name out there. Oddly enough, the tee-shirts have no bearing whatsoever on the heads up match, but you bring it up to insult. Nice work, admin. Setting a good precedent there.

I'll just take the $30 straight up. I have no interest in arguing back and forth w/ you because I know I'll just keep getting insulted. I guess, like you said, it's a moot point.

We tried.

Bulk, bulk, bulk, bulk, bulk bagock!!!!!

Feathers are flyin!!!!!!!!!!!! Quit whining, the guy gives us free money. Even for one-liners like, "Yes, I agree, you shouldn't make it two bets to go with 24os in .02/.04 LHE."

Shit, I'm even getting paid for this one.

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.

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

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 · #7 12-02-04, 02:28 PM

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 · #8 12-02-04, 03:07 PM

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 · #9 12-02-04, 03:10 PM

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?

Talking Poker · #10 12-02-04, 02:07 PM

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

Talking Poker · #11 12-02-04, 02:06 PM

95% of what I wrote was just friendly "smack talk," and you knew that. I am honestly surprised you won't play me (that's the 5%), but as I told you on AIM, go ahead and post a bunch of smack talk. I thought it would make this more fun/interesting. I was not making personal attacks on you. Just some friendly banter.

But whatever. Take your toys and go home (RELAX - it's a joke!). Sheesh.

As for your $30.... maybe this would be a good time for me to inforce the "quality post" thing in the original Get Paid for Posting here offer. I have yet to doc anyone for a single post yet, but I'm sure if I looked, I could find 50-100 of your one liners that don't quite qualify as quality poker posts.
