whats the deal about leatherass?

think lots of people just think he's a 24/7 robot bum hunting all day and an asshole.
not very sure, i don't know much about him myself, but that seems to be the vibe i get from other people.

I know he made some stupid million dollar golf/poker challenge like a year ago.

other than that, I hate when people complain about a guy who table selects well.

Well the way the poker world works is when two higher stakes players with tons of fanboys have a slight disagreement that doesn't really bother each of them a huge bit, dozens of people pick sizes and jump on their favourite guy's bandwagon. Sometimes the players themselves do it.


And they have bandwagon races, which are hilariously awesome.
(I believed it started with Aejones berating Dusty for table selecting, or something along those lines.)

so its basically just silly trashtalk between stoxfans and other instructionsite fans?

i heard he was a nit.

people who talk shit about certain steady winning players are usually very mediocre players who secretly envy their results

Well the thing is that I think most good players feel that they can basically say; "you can either give me action or I'll give you shit for it". If someone tries to "freeroll" (not help start up tables, just play fish etc) they're not good for the game and they just fuck up a lot for everyone else so it's fairly obvious that the people who actually have some kind of balls and tries to keep poker going in the long run will give these people shit.

It's fairly obvious actually, all groups of people have ways to deal with people who doesn't help with common goals but tris to parasite on the work of others.

Also, sometimes it's just that you want to gloat someone into HU4ROLLZ.

haha, thats totally me, @_@

he sucks at golf is all i know

it is pretty anoying when regs cant take like 20 hands of HU vs another reg waiting for the table to fill up/get some fishes to the tables for sure

i dont have to much experience of it since i play smallstakes, but on the eurosites especially in the early midday not alot of 100nl or higher tables are running so when ive tryed starting tables its kind of gay when regs sit in and insta sitout just sitting there waiting for a fish to come, wich is kind of lame cuz most of the fish just open the table and see that there is no action on it and leave it (i assume)

but imo aslong as ur not cocky about it i dont hate ppl that dodge other regs just because they like softer spots

but if you have a big mouth and still dodges it is kind of gay
yes

maybe letherass is one of those talk the talkt but dosnt walk the walk guys?

even though his results is pretty impressive imo

The thing is, he made a public challange which said pretty much 'Im fucking better then you fish,L-O-L' on 2p2 forum, mixed golf/poker.

Some people decided to put up a professional gold player against him ( zero chances of Laer winning ) and then just snap fold evey single hand on the second part of challenge, since obv as he would get destroyed by any professional in golf, but a golf player would have no chance in poker.

So yeah, after Laer realized he just made a retarded cocky post ( even with video, copying tiger woods famous gesture ) which would make him lose [b]massive amount [/b[ of money, he never ever accepted the challange, despite his cocky attitude towards everyone.

Much like Durrrr's challange, but written in a worse manner, and Durrrr actually had guts to back-up his words, even with worse words.
