Let me see if I understand you. Of the several players that agreed to play
you in Tunica During the WPT event, the only one you will play is Barry.
But you won’t play him in Tunica even though in your original boast you
said you would play anyone anywhere excepting Nevada and California.

Every time your terms are met you either back out or make new terms. Why
should anyone fly to some out of the way place to play you when the
chances of you actually playing is zero.

During a major tournament like a WPT event all the players will be there.
If you go they will play. Besides instead of just one match you can play
several.

Why did you say “anywhere in the world except Nevada and California”? I
know why. Because, you thought it would protect you. You are a bullshit
artist. Everyone here (fools excepted) sees it now.

Everyone in our Friday night game is laughing and making jokes about you.

Okay. This whole thing is really starting to make me cranky.

Why do you, and others, care so much about this? So Russ G. runs his mouth from
time to time on RGP. Big deal. Whether or not these HU matches come to
fruition doesn't affect you one way or the other, besides obviously giving you
and the other hens something to cluck about.

Either it's going to happen or it's not. Needling Russ about it isn't going to
do change the outcome.

I that's something posted by Jack King, whoever that is. Ever heard of Jack
King? Think "Jack King" could arrange those matches?

Russ is waiting for one of the actual persons listed (or another "star") to
post a challenge. Actually, the best shot I think is for Razzo to set up
the Oregon deal with Barry. That might actually get done.

Why does a match have to be arranged? All/most of these players will be
in Tunica, Foxwoods, Paris, and every major poker tournament. All Russ
has to do is show up and play. He is obviously full-of-shit!

Russ isn't playing anyone anywhere.

Whoever is posting under Russ's name is probably not the same Russ who
Caro first brought to RGP.

"Russ", who is a moron, thinks that RGP is some sort of community poker
authority. Whoever he is uses sock puppets to fawn over himself.

As a human being, he/she/it is a complete fraud.

If a player with a lot of money wants a game against the best pros in
the world, they can get one. All they need is the cash and they sure
as hell don't need RGP. Andy Beal wanted to play against the best in
the world and he made it happen. "Russ" doesn't want to and won't
make it happen.

Wasn't Russ on here claiming that group of players loosely led by
Brunson was cheating Beal? Great information that guy has.

"Russ" is doogie-clone usenet kook whose only purpose is to be made fun
of.

He might be full of shit, I don't know. In case you haven't noticed he does
have a healthy ego and does not express himself very clearly in his posts.
I take from his posts this: he's waiting for one of the "name" players,
personally, to post and call him out for a match. Posts by
unknown/anonymous entities don't really mean much. If Barry or Daniel or
someone like that posted here we (and Russ) would know it.

Russ's whole point from the beginning is that all these name players know
him and will NOT want to play him high stakes/HU. Whether this is true is
ambiguous since there does seem to be some support for Russ's statement
(e.g. Daniel quitting him and Matusow backing out) but it is unclear whether
they quit him because he's a good player or they thought he would cheat. I
think with Daniel it was because he got a phone call that informed him he
might be cheated, but who knows.

So, Russ has formulated a position whereby he states that none of the big
names will play him and he challenges them to play in a neutral site.

Why doesn't he show up to play them at Tunica, Foxwoods, etc.? Because they
won't play him if he showed (says Russ, and also the fact that he has
antagonized most of them with the cheating accusations). That's his whole
point. He wants one of the names to "publicly" accept the challenge and
post forfeit money. I hope Barry G. does this and I think Razzo could
facilitate such a match. That would be cool; especially since Russ has
taken a page from Caro and declared that he would kill himself if he lost.

All I seen if a post by someone saying something. Have these guys POST,
shouldn't be a PROBLEM , it's legitimate? Any 'monkey' can write a list
and present it as you have. First, the word is NEGOTIATE. I have stated
this since day 1. Why do they pick the site? How about Canterbury in
Minnesota, or the places in Oregon or any place we can agreed upon
mutually. Until one of these players posts under his name and it can be
verified, a deposit placed as a NO SHOW, there is nothing here but some
BS from a clown.

By the way, which games are supposed to be played? What blind structure
and the rest of the stuff? Is this supposed to be settled when I
arrive? DON'T THINK SO

Funny they aren't playing anymore, or is it just coincidence. Beal
doesn't want to play in Vegas now and the others don't want to play
elsewhere. Good way to stop the game, very convienient, especially if
he was cheated and reimburshed.

In theory (haha), these are supposed to be the best pro's in the world,
yet they won't play a 'well known respectable banker' in a location of
his choice in the United States? This fact alone is as far fetched as
you can get, especially since the banker is worth 100s of millions.
What more could top pro's wish for, besides a dishonest game?

There is no "theory", there is no "what if?", there exists a long
history of high stakes play, you moron.

Beal and Brunson & Co. have passed millions back and forth. There is
no question from any credible source (this does not include your
useless ass) over the terms or the honesty of the matches they played.


The terms of any new high stakes matches are up to the participants.
You will never be one of those participants because you are a complete
joke of a human being.

How about at any public, well-known casino? But that would be too easy,
I guess.

Why don't you seek them out and discuss it with them? That would be a
little more efficient than making posts on RGP that they will never
see.

Any of the pros would clean your house, Russ.

NOW THEY STOP, amazing? One wants to play in Texas, the other in
Nevada. The 'so called sucker', not the pro should get his choice
against the 'haha' best pros in the world. But, they must feel they
can't beat him in Texas? I wonder why?

How's the latest challenge match going between Beal and the best in the
world? You know, the one where Beal refuses to play on their turf, and where
the pros refuse to play on the Billionaires home court. Seems Beal has come
round to RussG's thinking.

And imagine, the best in the world refusing to play a billionaire
businessman in his home town.

So in other words, lots of pros knew RussG was a cheat, but he was still
allowed to sit in casinos and cheat the suckers. Says a lot about the other
pros and the management.

The reason they are not playing seems pretty simple, and no one has to
read the book to figure it out:

Beal wants to jack up the limits so high that a good run of cards for
Beal tears the pros a new asshole. If the pros take Beal for 50
million he wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't hurt him financially at
all. The street doesn't go as long the other way.
