Re: HSNL HU Tourney: ROUND 2!
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] GOG is really tough and I find it very important HU to know my opponent's tendencies and frequencies. I don't know his game and have no stats on him. I want to play 1 match before playing the others. I also 3-tabled my first match and felt a little overwhelmed. Lots of people inc. durr aren't 3 tabling these, so I don't see what the problem is? [/ QUOTE ] the problem is pretty obviously you making it seem like GOG is afraid of your ability to discern his patterns and frequencies if you get to 1-table so much that he's stalling when there are about 768 more plausible explanations for why he hasn't started the match yet. it's not so much your claim that you have a better chance if you get to study his game as the ridiculous combination of arrogance and attribution of fear to GOG [/ QUOTE ] or I was just messing around and am annoyed at his lack of responsiveness and the unhappiness he expressed in our PMs when I insisted on starting off playing only 1 match at once, and how him being busy might result in me having to do so anyway because of the rules of the tournament. You'd be frustrated too if you were set on playing 1 match at a time a week ago. Also, I doubt GOG knows much about me or my game. |

FYI I'm not insisting on 3 1-tabling sessions or even not playing out the whole match in 1 day, just playing the first game on its own, and then if we get bored into it or have time afterwards, playing the other 2 |

Re: HSNL HU Tourney: ROUND 2!
Jeff,
I've been out of touch not to "stall" you but because Comcast is a disgusting excuse for a telecom company. I want to play all three matches at once because I'm busy and would rather not spend more time playing poker. Tonight and tomorrow night I'll be playing soccer or tennis but I'm flexible during the rest of the day, including later at night. How about starting with two matches and adding the third when one concludes? Finally, if you want to spice things up by putting action on our match, let me know before we start. |

Wow, ActionJeff is totally ridiculous in this thread.
Good for the drama, though. |
