FFcowboy vs Eejit101 (Fri 06/19)

[eejit101]

After the recent discussion in the "is eejit101 the best HU players on NDN" thread. I had a couple of challenges, but as they are on the merge network leaving little room for skill with their structure, chips, and general play style, ive finally got offered a proper one.

10pm EST on Friday on Full Tilt. Private tourney called "NDN Heads up"

Me vs Ffcowboy (arguably the 2 biggest hand analyzers on this site)

Deepstack with normal levels so it should be a good game.


We have both agreed to post our hands.

FF will email me his hand history i figured and id edit them together to show how we did it.


Bear in mind we are both +ROI lifetime in HU SnGs by quite a bit, it should be a good read IMO.

I am also down for a heads up challenge really against anyone, except perhaps tom dwan or dario minieri :P I will check up on this thread to see when which of you two won, but to be fair, I won't look into the hand histories and take on the winner sometime soon.

[woohoosue]

two go in ....only one will come out ALIVE!

who will it be? Be there friday the 19th.....and wear some old clothes .....this ones bound to get messy!

You wont look at the hand histories? Interesting.

FYI "Durrrrrrrrrr" is a cash game player, his HU expertise is slim.

I won't be looking at no hand histories either.
Too much analyzing will slow you down.

I would venture to say that Tom Dwan has reasonable understanding of HU (yes in a cash game setting) or he wouldnt lay 3:1 on 1.5m to any player in the world except Phil Galfond. As of just recent, he has nearly pulled out of 500K deficit he was stuck with PA in a session no more than 3hrs in duration. They are playing pot limit, so the swings are inevitable, I'm just excited that after 16K hands dealt, its still dice :P

[eejit101]

HU cash and HU SnG are 10000% different though.

I dont get how we are comparing the 2

[GloBug]

yeah durr is good HU in cash situtaions but in a mtt setting he has no chance. durr vs antonius was epic on FT. any one ever watch them. i watched a few times. im not sure if they are still doing it but the amount of hands they play was ridiculous. durr is a great cash player but i have never seen him do any good in a tourney . im rooting for eejit. goo eejit i got a nice warm sheep awaiting u that i will send ups red if u win. lol its got a lot of space for u to lay in.

[eejit101]

Im thinking its gonna be too close for that much skill to come into it.

No offence to anyone else, but i have ALOT of respect for cowboy, due to his posts on here. In the span of 2 months, he is the only person i thanked for a hand analysing post.

[ffcowboy76]

I'm looking forward to the match. It will be a really good match. May the best (or luckiest) poker player win.

(I'm pretty sure it's going to swing on one of us getting lucky against the other.)

[Sassy12U]

I don't know your opponent Phil but I would put my money on you. I think you are knowledgeable with poker and you give great advice for free. Good luck hun!

[GloBug]

well good luck to both of. i will be there to watch should a be a good one.

question... on a scale of 1, to a 100 where does skill fall and on the same scale where does luck fall or is there no seperation in a heads up game??

there are no scales or seperation of luck and skill in HU

[0maxpower0]

Cant wait until Friday. From what i hear from Eeej, he'll have no problem with FF :-p. Regardless good luck to both of you, ill be watching... and learning!!

[ffcowboy76]

The skill and luck mix changes based on your opponent. I will explain more AFTER the match. Can't give anything away to eejit.

[eejit101]

Yes, please dont.

Ill be here for it (and i hope completely sober!)

[ffcowboy76]

Time to start the (nice) trash talk. Eejit, I hope all of your friends don't hate me when I wipe you around the table.

[eejit101]

Lol.

I dont have any friends. I beat them all too regularly.

To be honest i dont do trash talk as i dont mean it, if i do it, i mean it.

And i like you so ill refrain.

Ill still win, but in a nice way

Im...............hurt? Well, saddened to be honest.

[eejit101]

Rofl.

Im giggling. Like a girl

[ffcowboy76]

It's game day. Only 11 hours until the game kicks off. You can expect it to be full of action.

[thenutzaa1]

i want to see this!!!! it should be a good one...

hey NDN you should have a wager on this game!!!! eejit -130 moneyline and ffcowboy +130 moneyline....

hahah any bets?

[thenutzaa1]

p.s over/under 201.5 hands!!!

[sloeddie]

just the way i have seen eejit play it shouldn't take more than 125 maybe 150 at the most
