you can find links to them in the old boastmachine archives actually. but really, that’s a conversation that we should definitely take private … unless of course there’s a reader out there who writes bitchin’ export scripts.

They are about subjective phrasings mixed with a few numbers.

Translation: it’s Dan and his buddies talking about their home game.

The old rankings are pretty funny, even if you’re not an English major with a lot of time on your hands and an overappreciation of frat-boy trash-talk.

Shane, i added “self-proclaimed” after Todd pointed it out to me.

Ed, no, I mean wiki. Can’t explain much more publicly without giving away the genius, but if we can get our hands on the old rankings, you will see what i am referring to.

NOTE: Batface rankings are NOT about objective stats. They are about subjective phrasings mixed with a few numbers.

@son of sue – RIGGED!

@Dan – What do you mean by “set up a wiki”? Usually you mean one thing but explain it wrong. Do you just want a simple to use/view system that stores all the Batface wins/cashes over the year so you can view totals view web?

While this argument is interesting, please refer to Dan’s original phrasing. He calls Randy “the SELF PROCLAIMED top-ranked…”. Randy is the best, just ask him.

Good point about Stephenville, totally forgot about that. Fawcett dealt though, so there’s got to be some sort of *.

I won the initial Lodge Heads-Up Championship. Go me.

And who can forget my Lodge Heads-Up Championship?

If he asks nicely, Ed might be able to come up with a Wiki for that. Surely Shane’s gotta love Wikis.

BTW, you are totally ignoring TBR’s 2007 2nd-place in Stephenville. And Wilonsky’s 2nd-place once at Red Man’s.

Should online count? Then Austin Pete has an edge.

Tourneys – As much as it pains me, I’d have to give it to Celeste over Zach. Celeste chopped a Caesars tourney, finished high in a Tunica tourney and had the great finish in the WSOP event this year. Zach comes in second only because of his lack of play. He’s played in 2 $500+ tourneys in his life and cashed in both. Also, he had consecutive final tables at La Riate tourney in Dallas.

Cash games – who knows?

I agree, it is time for Shane to come up with new rankings.

BTW, Tiny B, I reread my sentence in search of a suitable correction, and I didn’t say 2008. Seriously, who do you think it would be for all-time?

Gonz? Clonie?

Todd, you make many excellent points. Silly me took his word for it without checking my facts. Aren't we due for some new Batface rankings anyhow? Go Batfaces.

Dan – I’m curious how you determined that TBR is the “top ranked all-around Batface (cash-game and tournament results)”? Is that based on his cash in the 2005 Main Event? Unless he cashes this year, he’ll be down for his 4 Main Events. He had a solid cash in a $500 tourney in Tunica a couple years ago, but without a cash this week, he’ll have a negative cash result in his tournament history. Celeste, Zach and I all have positive totals for our tournament careers. TBR certainly plays in larger cash games than the rest of us and he’s had success, but he’d be the first to tell you that he’s lost much more than he’s won when he’s played in the Batface game over the last couple of years. I think TBR is a very solid player and I expect him to go deep this week, but I think you should tap the breaks on your declarations of his greatness. I’m comfortable with you saying he’s the best Omaha cash game Batface and he’s had the largest tournament cash of any Batface. Thanks and Go Batfaces.

I’m setting the over/under on words per minute out of Whit’s mouth at his chip stack size…101,450. Taking all bets.
