no sir I didn't try to go pro.... I switched to poker because everyone I was playing with was leaving the game so I had no more fun playing it

yes like you say we have all lost our cool, but IdrA loses his cool both when he's losing and when he wins, he's just a huge hater, he really believe deep inside that he's smarter and more talented than anyone here....

I gotta side with Idra on this one. Rekrul, you know that if you go to a No Limit table and you put John Doe all in, you can't take the extra $$$ John Doe has in his wallet, you can only take what John Doe has on the table. What John Doe has on the table is what he is willing to risk.

Idra cannot afford $5K while Smuft can. Idra is risking all his chips on the table - but he wants to walk out with his wallet in tact, and he has the right to do so.

Raising $5K is a form of dodging. Just as you can't reraise somebody on a No Limit table who already has all their chips in, so you shouldn't be able to reraise somebody to "dodge" their challenge.

bad comparison, they're not sitting at the table yet, John Doe proposed a HU match for 500$, Villain says he won't play below 5000$

John Doe goes "DODGE"

Villain goes "lol wtf"

Many competitive people think the same way. Such as myself. which is why i have another identity.
Some people show it more. Others dont.
IdrA is not a fake person. Hes as real as they come. Only a few people can understand this without being told. If anything you should respect him. I know i personally dont have the balls to openly tell people i think i am much better then them. I think it but i dont say it. Thats one of the differences between IdrA and other pros.

Real life isn't poker. Even if its +EV. You dont do a bet that will screw you financially once. Even if you have a 90% probability.. if you take that bet too many times It will bite you in the ass more then once. thats life

yes but if you're not willing to take the bet, don't blame the other player for being richer than you... trying to make him look bad by saying he's dodging is pretty pathetic

Every argument Fayth has with Idra boils down to Fayth saying "yeah so what I didn't make it in starcraft I make more money with poker nanana"

Poker players are so mature right I actually like most of the poker personalities here but this is silly.

Also I think that If Idra turned to poker he'd have one of the most developed grind skill out of all poker players. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for Idra to be bad at poker because all of the discipline training hes had. (and don't mention tilt problems, Idra plays standard time and time again after being cheesed, I don't think he'd spew.) Also his replay analysis would be sick. He doesn't seem like he would diverge from solid tight play until he was at high limits playing good players.

I think with the work habits Idra has learned from his experience he could excel in any computer-orientated environment that he at least likes.

Also Fayth would you bet your bankroll on a 60-70% chance to win if you couldn't borrow from anyone after/had no support if you lose?

well you don't know smuft, he really doesn't care lol, he was just pointing out the truth and IdrA called him out, he never wanted to have a grudge match in the first place, but if he's gonna have a grudge match, might as well make it worthwhile
