ED V. CHUCKWHOOLERY. BTP Grudgematch II, the HU SNG WAR

ED asked me why I haven't posted anything in response to the HU. I was passed out at the time though, so I'll answer now.

See with BK, I didn't care what happened in the HU game against chuck honestly. BK's a good poker player, but can have a crap attitude about losing or being wrong at times. It's sorta like Helmuth - great player, but when he loses, it's entertaining to observe the responses. Basically, didn't care about the HU matchup there either, just the aftermath if BK lost (thankfully he did for my lulz obv).

In this case... who is Chuck? Was he created by the unbeknownest to me?

For the noobs (and the purpose of fulfilling YOUTUBE IN EVERY THREAD), read the wiki and watch this:

Saying Hellmuth is a "good" tournament player is just plain silly. The guy has won more poker tournament titles than ANYONE else. By any definition he must be a great/incredible/fantastic tournament player.

Saying he is a "bad" cash game player is not quite as silly, but still pretty silly. He's a "bad" player when compared with *the absoluetely best live game pro's in the world*. Yeah, if you put him at a table with Ivey and Greenstein, he gets slaughtered. But I'm fairly sure he would beat 90% of the players on BTP in a live game, and when compared to "average" pro's, I'm sure he does OK.
