You know you're my boy, right leo? I wouldn't just loan anyone 5 fun tix having only met someone 3 hours earlier...

That said, you were the only one to win any money that weekend at LHE, so I think it's pretty clear you're the best player amongst the 4 of us.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

You do realize I've got my money on you to win this match, right? Right?

I'm willing to give action on captain R, but am awaiting the release of bens line.

Also can we get an exact structure? 2/4 start with 200, but hourly shrinking add ons? How much are the add ons? Is slowplay acceptable to survive until an add on? What about me DOS bombing your router? Are there drinking requirements?

boc vs. the bryce sold at 1.3 - 1. no way captain is anymore than 1.5-1 in a 50bb freezeout that shrinks every hour.

if u really want to know u should estimate doug's edge over captain. 1bb/100? 2bb/100? then model what % of the time doug has a 50bb downswing. then increase this number some because of the increasing blinds.

You shrink the effective stacks by 1/2 every hour, iirc. Maybe someone can search for the HULA rules (I'm in a camper in Wyoming with soso interweb access).

I hate to influence the lines, but in a likely 200-300 hand match, I can't imagine anyone would be worse than a 60/40 dog here. You can look at the results of uHULA, there were people who could play for their living lost matches to .25/.50 or .5/1 FR players who'd never played HUHU.

Captain, we buy in 50BB deep. Play an hour. Go to a new table while cutting our stacks in half. Rinse and repeat. I think I played one match that lasted into the 3rd section. Most ended in one.

I'm not giving you odds. I already played at a 20/40 table with you in Vegas. That resulted in me getting called a "betting monkey" of some sort. There is no pretending that I haven't crossed over to your turf. Now you're on mine. $1.47 vs. $1.47. Given that you're a very good short-handed player, anyone who gives odds to help you out is making a big mistake, imo.

Still, no actual hard feelings here; I just thought it would be fun to enact a micros tradition here on Small Stakes. If you can't beat up on your friends for a minor bet, who can you beat up? I'm curious to see if you wander off and seek last-minute coaching or if you come with your own native skills. You may have an edge at the start of the match; it may take me a while to figure out how you're playing.

Cap'n:

Go ugly early.

doc

here are some links to the very first micros hu4rollz:

the first one was for $1.43 so i recommend you play for that amount.

it looks like we used a $2+.2 hu sng for the first one but i think the HULA rules are good too. btw in HULA you only halve the stacks twice. after that you just play until someone wins. you're playing with 25BB on the table at that point so a third hour is extremely rare (maybe never happened?).


oh and also,

i would def fly somewhere pokery to rail this.

Emm, he plays at Bay 101. All the passive has been squeezed out of him long ago.

The Cap'n is a mid-stakes reg. His biggest handicap in this will be getting up to compete for what is a dealer tip on a hand.

It sounds like halve the stacks every hour, up to 3rd hour and then we stay at that level. So at the last level, 12.5BB average stacks, which should be enough to finish the match.

Did I say that? Maybe I said "bit of a monkey". Or "a monkey is better".

Well, I'm a live FR, mainly 20/40 player. Since:

- you play 5/T online and online is about 10x stakes
- you play online and I play live and we all know live players are LOL bad
- you play anywhere from heads-up to 6-max and we all know shorthanded players are better than FR
- our match is HU and I've played 2 hands of HU lifetime (and that was live)

I'd say I deserve a spot. I think several people have mentioned I should be a dog and I don't think anyone has said I'm a favorite, so...

Since I'm such a nice guy and this is just for fun, I'll take 1.47:1.43. For the side bets, I don't think that's the right line. I said 2:1, you say you want to do 1:1, how about we set the side bet line at 3:2. You mentioned 60/40, Ben mentioned 3:2, Jesse mentioned 3:2... seems fair to me.

No prob, no hard feelings at all. I have a feeling you've been itching for a HU throwdown, and I happen to be the first guy to make an off-color comment (but it really wasn't). Anyway, this should be fun.

If you can figure out how I'm playing, let me know. Because honestly my 2-y.o. son randomly clicking buttons might be more logical. As those who have played with me can tell you, I'm probably the most lagtarded nit you'll ever run across.

The stakes are MUCH higher in this match. The is for the honor, fame and glory that will enshrine the victor. A legend will undoubtably be born.

Also, I've got 20 bucks at stake here. WTF is more important than that!

this is awesome.

I have spousal approval for the trip. I assume we're playing in a FR 40/80 game where the Captain game selects for the two of us. I'm fine with that. We'll have to figure out when. Can I crash with you?

OK, I'll book the 1.47 against your 1.43. I assume I can get all the side action I can handle from Leo Doc at even money, so booking pride and 1.43 from you will be plenty. How's Wednesday night sound to you? I'm pretty easy to schedule around, so if that doesn't work suggest a couple times. I'm busy Thursday PM, and that's all I can think of.

That beat-your-chest crap is for amateurs, not for professionals like the Cap'n.

BAY 101 OBV! Cough, cough, I feel a cold coming on already. Looks like I'll have to miss work on... what day you coming?

lol there is no game selection at 40. Details will need to be sorted out, but basically 16 hours in the bay 40 game together.

And no, probably not. But maybe....depends obviously on dates and the gf calendar which is often shrouded in mystery.

Cap'n, ben listed 3:2 as the biggest dog you could be. So did I, basically, and that was before I understood the luckbox structure.

Ben also said boc v the bryce went off at 1.3:1

therefore I formally offer 5:4 odds, which I think is fair. Anyone will to lay the odds on Doug lmk. I bet only fulltilt dollars and am looking to go long.

OK. My 4 full tilt dollars to your 5 full tilt dollars. Who am I rooting for? I don't know which side you're taking. I figure it's pretty much 50/50 when you consider the luck factor so regardless of which side I get I think it's a good bet for me.

But when will this event take place and on which platform? I want to watch and root and heckle!

All bets are off unless I'm at least informed of game time and have the opportunity to watch. If there are any spectator rules I'd like to be informed of them so I don't violate any.

Does anyone else think it's a bit strange that the side bets are larger than what the players are playing for? What's it called when you pay off a player to lose the match?

I can only play online after the kids go to sleep, so this means 10:30pm Pacific or later. Just about any day is fine.

How about 10:30pm Wed. Pacific? I think that's 11:30pm for you. My other request is no HUDs.

Does FTP have 2/4 play money HU tables?

One HU4Rolz type grudge match is enough. I'm really not into the whole "I'm awesome at pokerz" type thing.

If you want come out to the Bay Area, I'd recommend 3 3 hour sessions with Jesse at the Oaks 30/60. The Bay 40 games have not been very good this year and I hardly play them now unless they're unusually juicy.

lol no bet. I want to bet on captain r, being laid 5:4. So I put up 4 and win your 5 after he set over sets Doug into bolivion.

Or that. That'd be awesome.

I didn't think that the live game would prove anything other than Jesse providing me a free trip to SF for reasons of his own. Since I've wanted to make that trip for a long time, I figured free air + lodging makes the whole experience +EV if I can even break even at the pokerz.

The 100 game disappeared, which pushed everyone into the 80 game. The last month or so, the 80 has been inconsistently running, so the same guys that used to play 100/200 are now often in the 40/80, lol.

wait people post in small stakes limit now? when did this start happening?
