Aggressive call, nice. Also, starting hand value's do not rise and fall depending on if it is cash or tournaments.


[/ QUOTE ]

However starting hand values do rise and fall depending on whether or not you are shorthanded, and she states clearly that they are shorthanded and thats why its value has increased, not that its because its a tourney.

[/ QUOTE ]

I make an aggressive call of 1550 more because I was getting more than 3:1 on my money, we were shorthanded so AJ is stronger than in ring games, and I still have a healthy 10K (almost double average) stack even if I lose.

[/ QUOTE ]

If that's what she meant, then she obviously doesn't know what a "ring game" is? That's top notch analysis from a "game theory expert."

[/ QUOTE ]

We're arguing semantics now, I would assume when she said "ring games" she really meant "full ring games," (Otherwise her first comment of short-handed doesn't make sense).

well the chad brown wanted to fight me part is not really debatable there were about a dozen witnesses

[/ QUOTE ]

LOLOL

Sorry this is as far as I got but lol

"well... ok I was lying about that [censored] but THIS [censored] is fo realz YO!"

[/ QUOTE ]

I think what Aaron meant was that she cannot deny this since a lot of people saw it. The other stuff was only witnessed by people at the table.

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't he say 10? As opposed to the 5 at the table?

But yeah i'm not really taking anyone's side. The aaron been post I quoted was phrased so ridiculously, but then again, rousso's telling DID read like some poorly written fiction.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I think that no one at the table who saw it posts at 2+2 and could say what happened. But the challenge was another story. As we saw Mr.Timcaum saw it and posted what happened.

Obviously he would be slightly biased but from his description it seemed more hilarious to him than serious, so I think he posted what he saw.

Still 40 year old men and even 21 year old kids, fighting in Casino's is lol. Even fighting past the age of 20 is lol

[/ QUOTE ]

Well from an unbiased stance, not knowing who any of these people are by name or face (although I might know who Peter North is) and just going by their posts it's easily advantage rousso, BUT, factoring in everything else it's bean by a length. People vouching for and verifying his and her character and behavior makes a big difference.

Still, the way some posters react to these dramabombs make me ashamed to be a 2p2er at times.

I get moved to a new table with 12000 in chips. I am there less than 10 hands when I get dealt AJ suited on the button (6 handed tournament by the way). Checks to cutoff short stack player who raises to 600 (100, 200 blinds). I call. Aggressive big stack in the big blind re raises to 2000 (this is an important note…this player did this several times before in only the last ten hands, either he was being hit with the deck or he was steamrolling with his 25K+ stack when average stack was only 6K or so, so he can’t be given too much credit). Small stack pushes all in for 2150 (which means if I call the big blind big stack can’t re-raise because 150 is not considered an actual raise). I make an aggressive call of 1550 more because I was getting more than 3:1 on my money, we were shorthanded so AJ is stronger than in ring games, and I still have a healthy 10K (almost double average) stack even if I lose.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does everyone think this is how it went down. I'm more inclined to think it went something like this:

"AJs is the nuts. I'm so going to win this tournament. I can't wait to explain why I'm so smart. Maybe I'll do it on the turn or maybe even the flop! I call."
