FWIW, Gigabet has said on this forum that he considers Takeover to be the most tough and difficult player to play against, this being from experience between the two in multiple tournaments and huge HU SNG's. I have no idea how good Takeover is either, but that statement says a lot. [/ QUOTE ] Can someone explain to me why a Gigabet endorsement is a momenuts occurence?

Re: wpt foxwoods
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] In terms of "what if" scenarios, there was a big one with 30-something people left... I was railtarding Steve Jacobs (aka stevesbets, a friend of mine from home) and he had about 250K in chips. He raised from MP with 88, BB calls with A5. The flop came 456 and the BB check, Steve bet about 2/3 of the pot and the BB raised all in... leaving Steve with about 75K if he called and lost. He called after a short think and the turn came A to give the pot to the BB (Abe Gray). The BB in the hand then had a stack of almost 400K. While you can say "that's poker," the stack really should have been Steve's. Anyway, the next hand (or maybe two hands later), Gray doubled up Nick's KK with AQ on a Q66 flop. He should have lost money for sure, but it isn't the type of hand you really want to lose virtually all of your chips with. That's where Nick initially got his big stack and he managed to cruise with that to the win... Without that 5 outer hitting for a loose player, Nick may not have accumulated the chips that later allowed him to abuse Haligon (as far as we could tell on the rail) and the rest of the table on the way to the win. [/ QUOTE ] yeah that's certainly interesting...every hand is that important and affects subsequent hands. kinda makes you wonder how perfect you need things to be set up for you to enter the winner's circle. u went to penn? the penn crew seem to be doing pretty well in vegas [/ QUOTE ] I didn't go to Penn, I went to lower/middle/high school with Steve.

Ask the SNG forum [/ QUOTE ] Right, I'm aware that Gigabet has thoroughly convinced a critical mass of 2+2ers that he is the final frontier in poker, but I'm trying to highlight how absurd that is. Yes, Gigabet is talented and opinionated, yes Takeoever is one of the best young players around, but using the former's opinion on the latter as validation is, well, ridiculous. Get out of the house a little, folks. Perhaps gigabet's has a solution to the acid rain problem, too.
