I thought they couldn't limit a table to just two players in a vegas casino.

that and the fact that it was 500/1000 may have deterred a few people from sitting.

The title of this thread is very ambiguous.

Re: bicyclekick paid $1,000/hour to play hu lhe
not really surprising when there are people that give decent players 20% back to play them HU which i would guess makes it pretty much impossible to be a favorite. not to mention this is even worse bc it encourages the person getting paid to play slower/go to the restroom etc. obv this isnt a concern since im sure bk is an ethical guy, just that paying someone to play you per hour is even more moronic than giving % back
hopefully one day i get past the hurdle in limits where people play pretty bad for a lot of money to where they are just mentally retarded for a lot more money

Re: bicyclekick paid $1,000/hour to play hu lhe
sounds lke an awesome deal, even if the guy is one of the best in the world his edge can't be that big vs BK, and I'm guessing that isn't the case anyway
