Default Re: Ethicality of High Stakes HU - DaEvila

[ QUOTE ]


they do play him sometimes, im pretty sure there's a hand in HSNL right now that Krantz played vs PA, genius played him recently too i think. Its just that game selection is super important HU. [ QUOTE ]
i meant that this is a huge advantage for them playing as a team, againts 1, in "heads up" match, which supposed to be 1-on-1, and not 2-on-1 (maybe even more), and it's not like it is 2, 0.25/0.50 players,againts a 300/600 player.
it's like putting 2 of the best 20 chess players againts 1 Kasparov, i'm pretty sure they will put money in, if that kind of match was offered, and will beat him together.

There is one thing to challange just for the challange, like Kasparov did, and other is to play on these amounts of money on the line.
the main difference is that Kasparov played againts amatures, as called "donks" by the poker world terms, and here there are 2 pros doing it againts one "donk", it's just not make any logic. and it was unethical even if they were doing it againts PA or any other top pro, which for sure they did before.
I'm sure if u were playing HU againts someone, and after losing was found that u played againts two or more people, u were feeling raped.
There was a time during the match tie was asking DaEvils on the chat : "i need a 10 minuts break, is it ok ? ", and it seemed like it is a very wealthy person who knows he is playing top players and just try to keep it ethical, telling by that he is not "hit and run".
And maybe cause of all the noise around tie is gone, maybe he is not the greatest poker player in the world, but he know to read and understand what is going on.
