Calling out Brokerstar HU4ROLLZFirst of all, I respect you a lot Brokerstar and you've done a good job with the forums and what not and have quite a solid base going here. I've been lurking for a while have been fairly impressed with what I've seen on the whole.
However, while your forum is going well I have some doubts over the credibility of you as a coach. At the moment I'm grinding $1s and $2s on iPoker and only started playing HUSNGs a bit over 3 months ago, making me pretty much a very standard micro-donk. I've never really won any substantial amount of money and have been prone to going on big downswings in my career.
Despite this, I'm fairly confident that my poker mind could easily match it with you and I think this would be a good chance for you to show that you can actually beat the games that you coach. The $50 - $5000 challenge you did 3 years ago was good in its own right but games are becoming tougher today, even at the lower stakes. I'm proof of that.
So, why not prove that you are still able to beat the games you coach? We don't see a lot of action from you these days and I think it would be good for your publicity if you won this and would show many potential candidates that you are very capable of beating the micros and a worthwhile choice as a coach. Personally, I think that I could definitely step it up a notch and I have a fair deal of confidence that I would win overall.
So, while the HU4ROLLZ scheme of things isn't exactly correct for you, it is well and truly for all of my roll plus a lot more. I think that just proves the amount of confidence I have in my game and my ability to beat you over a sample. What I suggest is we play a smallish sample of matches at the $3.50s on PokerStars, or $5s on iPoker. The first player to win 51 reg speed matches while 2-tabling will be the victor of the challenge.
For you, this is a chance to prove you can beat the games that you coach and for me - it's a chance to prove that you aren't all that. And I think there are far more worthy candidates to be coaching out there. For mine - this is a far more intriguing challenge than your $50 - $5000. This is whether you can actually beat a micros player with a bit of confidence, unlike the droolers hitting their keyboards three years ago.
Peace.

However, it would be good for the site if Broker did some more work on HUSNG, because it seems to take a back seat these days, and after all that is what the site was all about.

Prove that I can beat $2 HUSNG's?? Do I really need to prove that I can beat $2 HUSNG's?
You are saying that your poker mind will easily match mine? Cool beans, I'm happy for you, so go and build a bankroll and then feel free to join me in the $200 - $400 buy poker games that I still play today (yes, you heard it, todays games lol).
Firstly I don't play poker for ego, I play for money, lots of people have challenged me and each time I turn them down (well except for Borg where I ran like god three times lol). You have to examine your motive for playing. Do you want to be the best in the world? Fine go challenge lots of great players and prove yourself.
Do you want to grind out a living and make some money? Cool then try to play as many fish as possible (that's where the money is for most of us).
Second, I can't see how entering a challenge with a break even $2 player will do anything for my publicity? If I lose, I look retarded, if I win, who really gives a shit?
Thirdly I have just (as of this morning) turned a $50 deposit into $10,000 whilst starting at the 3c/6c NL6 games only a couple of months ago.
Lastly, most of my students have show marked improvements in their games and results after coaching sessions and they are playing 'todays games'.
Why don't you play some of them and see if they give you some feedback on your game at the same time which will help you beat the micros.
I assure you that a trained monkey can beat $2 games, even in todays micro stake games
Best of luck.

broker turned 50$ to almost 10000$ those last 2 or 3 months by grinding all the way from the micros. so whats your point exactly??
are you sure that its not your big ego that prevents you from crushing the lower stakes?

Good to know that you are full of confidence and you can talk yourself up all you want. $200 - $400 games? Was that supposed to sound like you play these high stakes HUSNGs or just 1/2 cash on the softest site ever?
It's cool, champ. You can talk all you want, I just don't think you are justified to coach any decent levels of HUSNGs.
Would you consider doing this HU4ROLLZ if the stakes were $30s?

in order to make the most money you have to challenge yourself. playing fish all the time wont make you the most money longterm and definitely stunts a poker career.
Unfortunately we get comfortable (myself v much included) and stop pushing ourselves and therefore actually decrease our longterm expectation just because it's "easy" to make XXXXX$ per month
i'll play your challenge OP. could be funny

Mate this isn't 2+2, it's a friendly learning environment. We're all on the same side and lots of people have had their game helped recently by me.
In short, if you don't think I'm any good as a coach, then don't get coached by me.
Now if you want to add something constructive to the forum and perhaps improve your results then I'd suggest losing the attitude and being friendly with the guys.

I fully agree with your post, but unfortunately I have a lot of respect for you as a player and although it's highly tempting I'd rather avoid challenging you if necessary. To use Broker's words, I'd rather grind out a living by playing against fish. You are one of about three or four people on this site I don't feel I'd have an edge against.
In the future I'd definitely consider playing you as I think it'd be fun + a very good challenge, although atm I'd rather pass.
Cheers.

How much money are we playing for? If I might be interested if you really want to prove yourself so much. I don't know how good you are, or really care to be honest. I don't have an ego, but it could be fun.
To Broker,
I think a new $50 - $5000 HUSNG challenge, or something similar would be good for the site. HUSNG seems to take a back seat lately. That is constructive I feel, not angry

Well seeing as I'm only a micro-donk I wasn't planning on a sidebet, details are in the challenge. First to 51 on $3.50s Stars or $5s iPoker reg speeds. This is more than my roll but I can get backing for the challenge so if you are keen then we can give it a run.

I talk with people on Skype that know my level of play and have enough confidence in backing me. Realistically I haven't put in enough volume and I've been on the poor side of variance so as far as they're concerned I am a good enough investment.

Okay, straight up then, like I said , I have no ego, sounds to me like you are a decent player, if this is the case. While I'm not scared of playing you, I am only a micro-donk myself, playing $7 games, and underolled for that as it is. Trying to build a roll, so I can't really afford to lose money.
Beating me, wont prove a lot, cos I'm not a great player, and have never claimed to be. Once I get a bigger roll, and the loss wont be aso damaging for me, I'll be happy to play the challenge, if you feel it is worth it.

I think Brokers an awesome player. Especially his postflop skills. I don't understand egos in poker really. I'd much rather just earn the money too at least until i move up higher and have to compete for action. I don't think there is such a thing as a good regular at the 2 dollar games. Haven't taken Brokers course, but i learn't so much from watching his free videos here on the site, which enabled me to beat these games.
Dude, the 2 dollars are ridiculously soft all the way up to the 30s in my experience and maybe you have had the bad side of variance, but looking at that graph you look like a big fish wearing a strap on shark fin. What does your EV line look like???
Should be fun to see a battle on here. Would this be tags first HU4ROLLZ? Hope it happens soon. I'd like to make a bet on it lol

Had Broker not coached+staked me about 2 years ago, I'd probably still stumble in the micros or not play poker at all today. He laid the foundation for my poker understanding and really that's a pretty universal thing. Even if he still coached the same course he taught me two years ago today, it'd be great value for the money he charges, but I'm sure his coaching evolved and he's an even better coach nowadays.
Regarding your challenge, OP, I'm happy to play vs you if you're up for it.
Oh and Blake, without wanting to sound rude, after 1k+ games at the micros you should be long rolled for small stakes games if you really are on the skill level you claim to be on.

lololol. I've never taken Broker's course or anyone else's for that matter, but his free videos layed the fundations for my poker today. You do realise that yes, the games are tougher, but brokerstar has improved tremendously over the last 3 years too. I'm pretty sure he is no longer limp/folding K5o at 7bb these days (or mr folding A10 at under 20bb for that matter).
Fwiw brokerstar never ever implied that his coaching is going to make you capable of beating highstakes regulars. It's just a course to build your poker foundation, and give you a simple yet effective way of beating various fishy opponents. And yes, there are other options (a husng.com sub probably gets the same job done), but they aren't the same as a live coach to help at hand, and a friendly forum to post hands even if you are a donk.
Also you need to realise that the $7 or below level on Stars is rediculously soft (the same as 3 years ago imo). Probably anything up to $30s isn't great either (the only difference is that at least some of the fish mr a high % of buttons)- you just get slightly higher proportions of "regs".

I still think something doesnt add up. He is a micro stakes breakeven player, but can get staking (allegedly) from his skype group. Which begs the question - why havent they staked him before to game select and beat fish, but they would now to play HU4ROLLZ? Does not compute

| chesslw wrote: | It's also entirely possible this Blake character is trying an ingenius way of paying for some coaching  |
Just reading his posts and figuring out who his 'skype poker friends' are, I'd imagine whoever plays him will likely be facing a group of opponents.
Between here, 2+2 and HUSNG.com it's not hard to figure out who the heads up SNG playing douche bags are and they all like to hang out together.
I actually find it kind of insulting that someone who I have done nothing but try to help would instigate something like this with a mate to try and cheapen what this site has become.
Some people just can't get laid in real life and that is the crucks of it all and why they then go looking for dick swinging competitions.
Pretty sad really but hey that's what 2+2 is for. Go and play there guys. (you both know who you are).
I've never claimed to be the best player in the world and I'm proud to think that many of my former students have now gone on to surpass me in terms of their skill set so that they are now people who I would happily go to for help with my game in areas that I struggled with.
To suggest that I couldn't beat todays $2 games is frankly retarded as most chimps could beat them. OP you should focus more on learning to beat the $3 games and actually putting a bankroll together. If you are smart enough to tie your shoe laces then you are smart enough to have a solid double digit ROI in those games!!
Intelligence (or lack of) and/ or tilt (tilt is actually what stops most people) are the only two things that would stop you beating those games.
Best of luck and enjoy 2+2 (there are many like minded people there).

Lets just say that someone was really going on at me in Skype to play this guy and 'prove myself'. Then suggested that I don't think I have an edge which just made the whole thing smell like a couple of guys trying to make me look bad for some reason.
I wont name names but they know who they are and it's just a bit sad really as I've always thought that I've always tried to help the kid but his ego has exploded recently and sometimes that can turn people into tools.
At the end of the day, if anyone does not feel that I can teach them to improve their games in the micro, low or medium stakes HUSNG's then just don't get coaching.
I'm actually a little pissed off that I finished my $50 - $10,000 challenge today of all days and now my ability to play $2 games by someone who cant is what's in the spot light.
Bit of a shame really.

I agree with two2go, unfortunately this thread doesn't deliver imo compared to the Elwood vs Primo one. Shame that I was ready with my popcorn.
So far the funniest thread I've read/lurked on tagpoker was the bmm outburst to a challenge of hu4rolls and an ensuing PS of his spelling mistakes (no offence, and don't challenge me to a hu4rolls bmm I'm only trolling ). You've got to admit some elements of 2+2 is pretty funny.

Also just reread my last post and it might come accross as a bit misplaced.
Just want to say I respect Dom and thank him for creating this site+environment for (former?) lurkers like me who learnt a great deal from his free videos, and of course mainly the strat advice from the tagpoker forums (though Dom himself don't post as much as he used to).
And yeah there is a point by Blazing that the husng section on this site has taken a lesser role compared to when I first got here, so maybe Dom could make some new videos for them?

this is fun. I will lurk more - maybe even play a HU game!
DOM - congratulations on the challange, i know from your posts that you get a lot of satisfaction from coaching people and seeing them do well, but always thought that it was odd that you didn't just look after yourself and make good money. you obviously have the talent, but whatever a LOT of people appreciate what you have done for them.

Member posed challenged to broker HU4ROLLZ - came on with a Breakeven graph over 1k sample.
Member Challenged Brokers credentials as a coach, and thinks there are far more worthy candidates out there.
Member thinks they have a better poker brain then Broker and can beat him over a (small) sample.
Member is from Australia.
Member challenged Brokerstar for his entire bankroll (members bankroll not brokers), wanting to play a 51 game win sample (lol), at the $3.50 on pokerstars or $5 games on iPoker.
Member becomes a (bigger?) troll within a few mins/hours and posts this
"Good to know that you are full of confidence and you can talk yourself up all you want. $200 - $400 games? Was that supposed to sound like you play these high stakes HUSNGs or just 1/2 cash on the softest site ever?
It's cool, champ. You can talk all you want, I just don't think you are justified to coach any decent levels of HUSNGs."

Was probably a bit harsh on old mate Broker but geez, he managed to insult me a lot while still avoiding the challenge.

You do realise that by playing this challenge brokerstar has everything to lose, and nothing to gain (well except maybe treefiddy dollars)?
In other words this challenge is effectively a negative freeroll, and being known as a huuuuge nit (in borg's words), brokerstar would never consider such a thing. And another thing brokerstar has a business to run etc, so I really don't see how he will ever play you for the "roll" that you put up (and of course this should be obvious to you too right?).

Idk what you mean with the inverted commas and 'should be obvious' but Broker can definitely gain publicity and encourage potential students to choose him because he's well and truly still in touch. Plus I'm sure everyone would enjoy it if he humiliated me which are some good reasons for him to play.

Hopefully this will be good for the action of the forum and if anyone wants to play me let me know in this thread and we can work something out. I'm also semi-interested in playing Borg and may consider it just to really challenge myself.

You're right there is no need for personal insults and I take it back. It's not my style.
It just got my back up that the very same day that I finish my latest bankroll challenge and hit $10,000 from a $50 deposit, some kid comes in here stating that they can not beat $2 games and that they have no respect for me as a poker player and then feels that I'm obligated to play some HU4rollz challenge??? I mean what??
Then someone in Skype (also from Oz which I'm sure is purely a coincidence) is messaging everyone, myself included about said post.
Then this person starts getting aggressive in skype chat that I frankly have better things things to do than entertain someone that I have never heard of, has made no contribution to the site, can't beat $2 games and has some attitude like a teenage kid that feels he's owed something from me or my free site????
For the record I have played site members in the past for fun, banter, to make videos or to help each others game with feedback on our play. For example I played Borg a bunch of times (who I consider a super strong player that I'd avoid like the plague and I'd ask for help with my game these days) and although I ran hotter than the sun, something productive came from it for the guys on here (I hope).
Here's a challenge for you. Play 1000 games at the micros and get a double digit ROI, try contributing to the site, make some friends and make some money.
Best of luck in your journey to become a world class poker player!

I really doubt this tbh. He would gain much more publicity for example if he, say, did a challenge to turn $50 into $10,000 for charity imo.
Do you honestly think, that by beating some random off the internet in a sample of 101 games is going to get more publicity?
The best advertisement for broker's coaching is and has always been the results of his former students imo. If I were to want to buy some course off someone without too much knowledge in the subject, I would want to get to know the students of said course first (and this of course is/was possible on this forum).

Hate to see a troll rewarded with the opportunity to play borg or kierkegaard at his stakes for starting an idiotic thread. Just a suggestion, but couldn't you take the time and instead do a leakfinder or similar video for someone who has consistently contributed to the forum (blazing or bmm comes to mind). You could even play against them and then review the game if you're really looking for midstakes action lol. If it was posted we all could learn something, and I'm sure if advertised would bring more people to the forums.

Why would they accept help from someone they have no idea about? |
I would like to know if you are OP. Did you read my post, I'm obviously talking about borg, kierkegaard, etc making the video.

How am I trolling? I'm looking for some action ffs, get off your high horse. I also see it as a challenge to play Borg, not a reward.

I have come to the conclusion that OP is just an attention-whore looking for some free publicity, hence the reluctance to play against Aggsy, Kierk or _red_dog.
While your at it, why not go on 2+2 and call out Mason Malmuth? Or go on BlueFire and call out Galfond? Why not go on Poker1 and call out Mike Caro? See what happens to you.
Clearly you can already get action, as you have played over 1000 games at the 2s. The need for "action" is not what this is about, so what the hell is your angle?
If you really wanna play HU4ROLLZ (ha) then I suggest a number of things that would have to happen, otherwise (for me at least) you can do one. These would include (but are not limited to)
- you sit first
- Min 20 games per session (2 tabling), probably more like 30.
- escrow the money up front so you if you try to do some sort of hit and run then the outstanding balance up to 51 games worth is transferred to the winner.
- possibly a web feed so we can verify its you and only you playing
I will probably be open to a sidebet as well. Still dont think this will actually go down, all you will do is play Borg first for the attention get creamed and run off with your tail between your legs.

Oh and you will need to provide screennames so it can be verified that this isnt an angleshot, your graph on the first post could easily be fabricated.

Are you kidding me lmao, what you think I'm secretly a 1K stakes baller who Photoshopped 1200 games of a bad graph and now wants to play HU4ROLLZ at $2 games? Makes sense. I'm sure if I played 1Ks I would really care about $200 or so.
|
JamEaze
|
Well exactly. But then it makes no sense for a $2 breakeven player to challenge a) a coach with proven credentials and references b) an entire forum. DUCY?
Screenname verification is standard IMO

Can we play on iPoker instead? Rake is like 10% on micros at 888 + I don't have any money on there atm and would rather keep my roll on iPoker.

I refer you to your earlier comment. Im not specifically moving funds to iPoker just to play you

Do you have funds on Stars? I'll concede that iPoker may not be the best due to the lack of a rematch so I will extend my offer to $3.50s reg speeds on Stars.

All funds are on 888. Take it or leave it

Ill play you on Titan poker? I've hardly played much poker for the past year and be happy to play you. It'll be fairly obvious to me if someone else is playing for you, and im pretty sure this will be the case if im being honest.
As JamEaze said, verify first of all.

Just use moneybookers and take fiddy off 888 and chuck them on stars, or get an xfer. It's his challenge so play by his rules if you wanna be a tough guy. |
Hey jake dont get me wrong this isnt about being a tough guy, he specifically said:
"I'm happy to extend my challenge to you as well if you think my confidence is a little misplaced. Just let me know what site you want to play on." So I proposed a site, then he wants it changed.
Frankly I couldnt give a toss, this isnt gonna come to anything anyway

How so? I'm quite the talented player myself.. just because you see me making advanced plays like double barreling doesn't mean that someone is on my account.

I was enquiring to see if you were on a site that I had funds on, I never stated we are playing on a site of your choice.

Extreme example, say a random unknown decided to challenge Durrrr to a HU4ROLLZ, who would set the terms, the challenger, or the challenged?

I could understand this if it was to Brokerstar and would probably move funds for him. But this is my own challenge with open terms, you are entering my house baby.

Player Bio:
$2 breakeven baller with a 'poker mind' to match Brokerstars and has advanced moves like double barrelling. He is PROOF that today's games are harder.
Anyway this will be fun to watch. Hey dude what's your SN on ipoker? Think you should share that to be taken seriously. Did I say taken seriously? Lol
|
dees-blake
|
SN on iPoker is Wraithax, any confirmed challengers? Iceman?
|
dees-blake
|
Have been hitting up iPoker later and crushing the $1s as expected, shots at $2s didn't go so well though due to players stepping it up a bit. My $1s ROI though proves without doubt what I'm capable of as a player.
|
doodiewiz
|
Yeah man those 2 dollar games ain't easy. Did you try double barrelling?
Oi your SN is blocked on ipoker. What's your SN on stars?
|
dees-blake
|
My SS is blocked on Stars, my iPoker one is there though.
|
Jakester1288
|
Umm doodie his SN isn't blocked on ipoker, that's his stats right there^

Will confirm or not when I get home later.
And yes it'll be quite obvious to see if its a breakeven player with a graph more swingy then BMM dancing around a pole wearing a mankini after 12pints playing, or someone blatantly with a good deal of ability who is trolling , you can't have both, unless you have extreme tilt issues.
Just to note I don't trust you, one thing is quite obviously going 'on' and jakester is involved somewhere down the line for sure but then that's what makes this so ridiculously funny, this thread should be kept in a subsection called the troll cave

Sorry Aggsy, you have been singled as someone who Blake specifically wont play, along with kierk and reddog, apparently the $2 breakeven microballer doesnt think he has an edge over you
