That’s right, watch out jessthehuman, my reputation is growing fast, soon I will have as much supporters as you, and Sunday, with everybody watching us, it will be tight. Thanks to all of you who are with me in this battle of titans, you are the best fans that a donk-to-fish-to-rookie online poker player like me can expect having. I will not let you down on Sunday! P.S. – I am thinking about playing dressed just like I am in my avatar to turn things more interesting and to prevent even more that my opponent can easily read me. Just hope it works!

I am just here now, on the scheduled hour of the second semi final against jessthehuman, and he isn't here and he isnt at Pokerstars, where we agreed to play this. This was an hour booked by him, if we can't play when he says, when can we?

Really sorry man - I was out for my dads 60th the whole weekend (he doesnt live in my city) got home later than I though and had to finish a uni assignment before I could play.. So was an hour late or so.. Hopefully you come back online soon!

Congratulations jessthehuman, you beat me! It was a great pleasure to play against you, but you showed you play a lot more and a lot better than me. My aggressiveness wasn’t enough to beat your concentration. I never had the perception of playing against someone who had such a control of the game like you, even when you were behind, you kept calm and, I don’t know if it was a strategy that you decided to adopt against me, but having me playing aggressive, you were playing tight. Each time I had a re-raise from you, I just blocked. You are a very good HU player.

^ yeah actually, trying to line up a time with Canada should be a bit easier than Europe.. I'll get back to you - I have to go into hospital in a few hours for a procedure - should only be a day thing with any luck. But I'll be under general anaesthetic so won't be playing you in the next 24hrs!

Thanks man - they were pretty close games - you played really well too. Regarding playing tight - I generally do tighten up a bit against an aggressive opponent. But your aggression was very controlled - clever. Playing against aggressive low-stakes is generally quite easy - they dig themselves into holes pretty quickly and it's not hard to lay a trap. I don't think I ever really managed to trap you.
But yeah, they were close games, you had me dominated for a large part of every game. Lucky for me I hadn't been drinking and wasn't tilting or anything like that.

Now it’s up to you guys, Jessthehuman and retribution, one of you will be remembered as the winner of the first BRM HU Championship, which, if I’m not wrong, will be the first title ever attributed to a mobster regarding BRM (although this wasn’t organized by BRM, it had its consent). May the best bluffer wins! And remember to keep us up to date about when will these games be done, I’m one of those who wants to enter that club to watch it.

Posted by retribution: If it's okay with Jess, I was thinking about playing it out on sunday anytime from 20:00 gmt on.
Just hope you two can book that easier than it was with me, that also increases the pressure! Jessthehuman already said it will probably be easier to bookmark with a Canadian, now I just want to know who will take the title.
