Ok, I'm sure all of you have no clue who this guy is. I'm sure he isn't a member here, but I could be wrong.
Well, it all started on the Poker Forum Challenge. I was at first just chilling with Marion and the FCP'ers flocked around her table, just chatting while I was playing my league game. After I busted 4 away from the money, and and everyone flocked away from her table after she busted, I went to the tables of the rest of the AJPoker.com players that were playing (that was the site I was repping, for clarification). Well, they were doing great, and me and about 5 others from the site were at the tables rooting them on. I was doing the same. Moral support goes a long way. Well, some guy named JohnJr got jealous, because no one was cheering for his for his forum or something, so he called the floor on us for spamming. The floor deemed that the "next person to spam for AJPoker.com would be banned." Well, after that, everyone at my forum thought this was retarded. So, to prove a point, one of my players started spamming. He got banned, and the floor left.
So guess what JohnJr decides to do? Starts bashing our site after the floor leaves! Great double standard! Well, one of our members decided on a great way to settle this: A cross-forum challenge: The top 15 from each site playing for top honors. Well, this guy counter-offers by saying, "Forget that. You'll collude." (How do we know THEY aren't gonna do the same thing?) "I'll take any of you clowns on heads up, right now. Go get the best player at your site, and I will destroy him." Well, no one's stepping up, nor do I; our best player was not present, and I could think of 5 players other than him who should play before me, and they weren't stepping up to the plate. Well, the interchange kept going. Then they decided to compare WSOP qualifiers (they "had 2" we had none)...who cares? they haven't cashed or braceleted yet, so they haven't proven anything! So then all of a sudden, for no real reason, the spotlight gets turned to me. The following interchange occured:
JohnJr: hanguk, do you play checkers?
Me: No.
JohnJr: Hanguk, you must play checkers.
I sense a doucheclown insult.
Me: And what are you insinuating by that?
JohnJr: Because you must suck at poker.
Okay, below the belt, and I wasn't even saying anything derrogatory to the guy.
Me: Still want the heads up match?
JohnJr: Yeah
Me: Give me your e-mail, and what sites you have deposits on, and I'll be there.
So he gives me his e-mail. And then ducks out of the room as I'm trying to concrete the details.
So now I've e-mailed the guy, even though I think his sack shrunk after I called his bluff. This was my e-mail

Subject: Heads up challenge match
First off, I just want to get confirmation on the site you are willing to play at, the chat logs went too fast for me to remember. So if I'm correct, the sites are:
PokerStars
EmpirePoker
Second, I don't know if you saw what I had said later, but seeing as there was no response, I assume you didn't. I would like to up this to a three game series, best two out of three is declared better. The events I proposed are:
NL Hold'Em
PL Omaha
7-Card Stud.
If you do not like the list, and would like to play the series, then you can modify the list to your liking. The games I would be willing to play (and the betting structures) are:
Hold'Em -- Any betting structure
Omaha -- PL or Limit
2-7 Triple Draw -- Limit play only
Seven Card Stud -- Limit play only
Omaha Hi-Lo Split - PL or Limit
5-Card Stud - Limit play only
Razz - Limit play only
7-Card Stud Hi-Lo Split - Limit play only
Soko - PL only
I know the games the Stars offers, and that would rule out 5CS, TD, Razz & Soko. I do not know Empire's offerings, as I don't play on any Party Skins. But anyone can win a NL HE heads up match. But it takes a true player to win in different variations of poker heads up, and that's what I want to get to the bottom of, is who is the more consistent player.
This will by no means solve the argument as to whose forum is better, as this is only a small representation of the players of each forum, thus why I still propose a match between the top players of each site (I'll let you pick the numbers). Like I said, our admin has been trying to get forum challenges together, so this would be a good kickstart for that.
I also would like to know what stakes you would want to be playing, so I know how much to deposit to the site we play on. I may ask for an adjustment to this stake to fit into my bankroll management (because only a moron would risk his whole bankroll on a petty grudge).
I await your reply, so that I can begin the process of transferring to Stars or Empire. And good luck.

==========================================
I don't expect an e-mail back truly, but I hope he does. Because I'm pretty sure he's on his way to getting owned.
But I'm going to need a cross site transfer for empire or stars, cause I have nothing there.
Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on this one. It's not of the same magnitude of Barry vs. Daniel, but I pride myself in heads-up play, and I think you guys might like me sending a doucheclown home crying.
=============================================
So yeah. That's it. I will keep you guys updated on when and where and if these matches take place. I would like to see some of my friends on here at the table to cheer me on. I'll need the support.
If you guys register a poker account just to talk at the table, with no intention of every playing, that would really mean a lot to me. Just whatever, come and support when/if this goes down!
