Right. That was the transcript between two players on William Hill poker. Gob_bluth as you may have picked out has a good ROI on £50 heads ups games and plays poker on Hills for a living. I steer clear of him if I can help it.
Waleed001 is a new name to me, but on Sharkscope he has poor stats, a return of -9%, not just over heads up poker.
The other night I had made a few quid and decided to play him at heads up, £50, the maximum I play for. I played him four times and lost four times, a total loss of £200+rake.
Each and every time was baffling and to cut to the quick I would suggest he had access to the cards that would fall before he made his plays. Sure spunk some chips to your opponent, but know the cards and you're in the winner's seat.
I didn't bother with it at the time, but watching him play against another winning player, in fact a better winning player than myself was interesting. I thought perhaps our playing styles 'clashed' and despite him being a losing player, in our niche of heads up Texas he, don't know why I'm writing this, err, he 'owned' to coin a stupid Americanism, yeah he 'owned me'.
This is better than Eastenders, they're on the table again and the winning player is losing.

Gob_bluth: I mean, calling my all-in with Q, 4
Dealer: Game #7339335533, Waleed001 wins pot (14 chips)
Gob_bluth: that was awful
Waleed001: ok play
Gob_bluth: that has no place on a poker website
Gob_bluth: that's why I had to email customer services
Gob_bluth: and try and get you punished
Dealer: Game #7339335593, Waleed001 wins pot (30 chips)

Sure this Gob_bluth sounds a bit crazy at times as well. I mean if the call was genuinely made then it's anybody's game and if he has bad luck, he has no right to expect any money back. However put an insinuation in that Waleed is more than just a dopey fish and well, heh, what do you think? More tin foil than an ASDA value 5m length 'Baco' generic foil box? Or something strange in the neighbourhood?
I'm looking for a little more than having someone scream "VARIANCE!" at the top of their lungs.

Right. That was the transcript between two players on William Hill poker. Gob_bluth as you may have picked out has a good ROI on £50 heads ups games and plays poker on Hills for a living. I steer clear of him if I can help it.
Waleed001 is a new name to me, but on Sharkscope he has poor stats, a return of -9%, not just over heads up poker.
The other night I had made a few quid and decided to play him at heads up, £50, the maximum I play for. I played him four times and lost four times, a total loss of £200+rake.
Each and every time was baffling and to cut to the quick I would suggest he had access to the cards that would fall before he made his plays. Sure spunk some chips to your opponent, but know the cards and you're in the winner's seat.
I didn't bother with it at the time, but watching him play against another winning player, in fact a better winning player than myself was interesting. I thought perhaps our playing styles 'clashed' and despite him being a losing player, in our niche of heads up Texas he, don't know why I'm writing this, err, he 'owned' to coin a stupid Americanism, yeah he 'owned me'.
This is better than Eastenders, they're on the table again and the winning player is losing.

Sure this Gob_bluth sounds a bit crazy at times as well. I mean if the call was genuinely made then it's anybody's game and if he has bad luck, he has no right to expect any money back. However put an insinuation in that Waleed is more than just a dopey fish and well, heh, what do you think? More tin foil than an ASDA value 5m length 'Baco' generic foil box? Or something strange in the neighbourhood?
I'm looking for a little more than having someone scream "VARIANCE!" at the top of their lungs.
