Does anybody know who "The Gift of Gab" is? He's currently 'killin it' on FTP, and also playing UB @ Matusow's table.

Just because you play well online doesn't mean you have to be on the WPT.

yea Im watching him, so is fischman under Marvin I think.Don't think Fischman is MarvinGarden, but MArvin's one heck of a player.There were some grumblings in the chat that Marvin was Dutch Boyd? I doubt this.

200BB at 5/10. I lost with quads to quads that day - not once, but twice. It was that kind of day.

Back in the day when I played 1/2, I had 3 tables running and pulled in 100BB in 30 minutes. THAT was variance and a half. The deck was just hitting me in the face.

I'm having a hard time understanding your entire post.

I'm removing myself from PokerStars and moving to another site. PS is so damned streaky it hurts.

This doesn't even remotely qualify as a bad beat. You overplayed your hand.

We were playing live and I saw his internet finger, so I called.

Except that I don't call 9 times out of 10. Did you even read anything that I wrote?If the situation was the same and we replayed the hand, I'd still make the same play. My hand was ahead and I knew it, so I called.It was the winning hand. This has turned into a "my ---- is bigger than your ----" war, but I'd like to point out one more time that jasonmason's game is a bit predictable.Further, it isn't a bad call solely because YOU wouldn't risk any chips on it.I had a perfect read and I went with it. Hell, I played again in a tournament tonight and called another player down with Q high on a b

OH MY GOD THERE ARE TWO WATER BOTTLES IN THE PICTURE

Congratulations, OP - you have the best ROI in the entire world.

This is how the hand went. But I did double you up. (3 handed)The hand before, someone cracked your big hand with a pretty bad hand, and you made a huge overbet PF from the SB in the next hand. The blinds were still 1/2, and you raised to 25 chips. I had Kd 7d on the BB, and figured I would call because I had a decent amount of chips in front of me and you were steaming, maybe I'd hit and take some more from you.The flop came 9-7-4, and I hit middle pair. I figured you might be raising from the outset to protect a hand like AK or AQ from hands like 8 3 and 9 4, because you got sucked out a few

You're halfway there on giving me credit, and that's progress

I was actually looking into his soul, Bill Fillmaff style. I had proper UV protection.

Yeah, I ended up winning.The point is, you made the mistake by re-raising PF with a marginal hand, and I made the mistake of not moving in on the flop myself. There were no straights and no flushes on the board, and I was 100% sure you missed. It came down to who had the better nothing, and I really didn't think you had Ax. I knew your PF bet was a feeler bet, which also told me that you didn't have an ace in your hand, but you did have a face card and a decent kicker.You tend to forget that you don't mix up your betting styles either. The way you were betting was screaming that you missed. Yo

So, uh, I'm the friend in question. Let me clarify something here :)I play with JasonMason more than I play with anyone else, basically. The first time I ever posted here was because of a hand we were fighting over.Anyway, I made a pretty standard raise, he came over the top. We had *just* raised the blinds to the next level, and I figured it to be a standard blind defense. Fine, my hand is pretty good 3 handed, let's see a flop.I've got KJ offsuit, I have no idea what he's got, but I think it's in the same range as mine. The flop came all rags and rainbow, and I figured he missed as badly as

Dealers at the underground places dont make salary, only tips.

Hey, I split time between NY and Boston. Ottawa, I'll play smash heads up for you! You can wire me that money at any time.

This made me lol

AQ was also clubs? Because that's impossible.

$1100. Quads to Quads.

I've been watching the stars 25K guaranteed final 3 tables until the final table, and this is the only thing you've been talking about. "HEY GUYS, I GOT BUSTED BY MEN THE MASTER TONIGHT"You've said it at every table like five times. What's the big deal with this?

I think you might have overbet that from the outset... you certainly were representing a high pair, though.Good tournament to you, sir.

Watching you there, surprised that chipleader folded with so little to call.You can take 3rd or 4th now, easily.
