Tony G has been trying to chat up Brian Townsend and Brian eventually responded by saying, "I'll play you any time you want, as high as you want." Tony said, "We're playing here now." Brian said there were too many players here. "Just the two of us."

Ivey proposed that they play a big heads-up match and simulcast it on their sites, Cardrunners.com and Pokernews.com.

Tony G acted generally like he was interested, and then Brian tried putting meat on the bones: "$1,000-$2,000 with a $2 million cap. Once someone loses $2 million, they can quit if they want. No-Limit, though we can play PLO if you want."

Now Tony is waffling and Brian is pointing out that he's waffling. "That shut him up," Brian says.

Which, of course, gets Tony talking again about making it happen. That made Brian turn up the heat. "Any number you want Tony. If it's more than I can afford, I'll get backers." Then he added, "I won't have any trouble getting backers against you."

Tony said he would send Townsend a proposal, muttering, "Don't forget what you said."

Tony started talking about "getting a market up" to bet on the outcome. "I'll be a 10-to-1 dog online." After he repeated that several times, I knew where he was going.

"Brian, you'll give me some kind of price, right?"

Brian: "Now you want a price?"

"We'll put a market up. We need a market."

Tony was asking Howard about whether that game could be put together by Full Tilt, and Howard explained how it could. "So we basically have a contract."

We'll see ....

Anybody know how the Tony G/Brandon Adams HU match finished?

[arcdog]

if its not an eating contest, then Brian is most surely +EV vs. Tony G in any form of poker that I can imagine.

The biggest understatement of the year was Brian suggesting that he would have no trouble getting backers. We could only be so lucky as to be included in that corporation.

22 minutes and still no LuckyJimm.


I think it's safe to say, he's clearly lost his edge.
