Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
It seemed from some chat that this HossTBF character might be part of the Chen/Ankenmann/Prock/Chan? crew - which I will call the "Think Tank" for brevity from now on. If you've read Mathematics of Poker - or bought and used as firewood because you couldn't understand it like me - are keenly aware that these guys know an illegal amount of math to be playing our friendly game.
I've played with Hoss (which was a while ago) after his landfall tourney win, he seemed to be very good in the very aggressive, good hand reader type of way, but I would never have expected him to be a "mathy" player. He just seemed loaded with a lot of talent and a solid winner at the highest stakes. Anyway, if this rumor is true, thats pretty damn scary. I guess I have no real content, other than this guy isn't on my list of people I am will ever play heads up? I figure some of you with more experience against him might have some insight. |

It's about time we had another J_V thread in this forum.

Re: Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
Yes I know for certain that he is part of the "think tank." He's a friend of a friend and yes he is extremely intelligent/mathy. My friend who is also a high stakes player said and I quote "I think Matt (Hawrilenko, Hoss TBF) and Bill have solved shorthanded online limit holdem." It was funny because I was thinking there's just no way, but after seeing Matt's results in the last year I can't really argue.

Re: Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
Basically he is maniacal preflop in a shorthanded game. He will reraise a CO open from the button or a button open from the SB with damn near any two cards and then play them expertly postflop. Note I haven't played with him ever this is from a friend who is more of a regular in those stars games.

Re: Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
I HATE BOTS... The UB bots Victor is referring to can be seen anytime in the 50-100 HU games. Names as follows.
-BMW750i -Isaac168 -MaoMao88 -banana234 -ccty there is more. UB just sent me an e-mail saying that they already did disciplinary action against the bots but yet all the bots that I proved to them are still on and playing like nothing happened. I guess I got to be a little more crazy with them and send them more then a daily e-mail and make a site that will advertise that they don’t give a flying **** if there games are corrupted. Rake is Rake I guess. I will be updating my site in the few days with the e-mails from support and the names and video's and all that great stuff. -Crazy Mike (MrGatorade) |

Re: Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
ive played probably as many hu hands againt hoss as i have against anyone else, hes very tough and i dont play him anymore, i generally hate sitting in any game when hes behind me, although he will 3-bet pretty much any two cards from the SB, and btw, one thing i would not call him is a good hand reader, he loves to go animal on draws when theres no shot of getting a fold, and im not sure that ive ever seen him fold a pair that has no shot of winning, but i think all that works with his style and he is definately someone i do not like playing with, especially when hes on a heater like he has been recently
but i love playing with jerrod, chen, and prock, for whatever thats worth, they all play pretty much an exact opposite style from hoss |

Re: Hoss TBF - part of Think Tank?
Hasn't he been on a heater forever? Everytime I hear anything about the online limit scene, something like HossTBF on a heater always comes up.
Weird that they would all play different styles, but I think I agree. Hoss is way way more aggressive than the other Chen, Jerrod. |
