DURRRRS MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE (Ivey and PA accept)

http://www.bluffmagazine.com/poker-n...lenge-1705.htm



“I’m making this heads-up challenge to the world. Anyone can accept. Four tables, minimum of $200/$400, and I’ll put up $1.5 million to their $500,000. We play 50,000 hands minimum and if they end up a dollar after rake they keep the side money or whatever. So basically, if you and I played and you won a dollar, you would get my $1.5 million and if I won a dollar I would win your $500,000.


“So I’m giving a million dollars free if anyone thinks they can do it.”


[ ] giving away a million dollars
[x] laying 3-1 odds

Re: DURRRRS MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE

how long would 50,000 hands of HU on 4 tables take?

good grief.

why is tom doing this? can't be for money, he's got plenty obv so it must be for ego?

edit: I suppose a guy like Durrrr needs new challenges, so I guess I understand

Re: DURRRRS MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE

If I understand correctly, when Tom wins he keeps the 500,000 side action plus all the additional winnings from 200/400 50k hands?

Assuming he will win half-buy in per 1k hands (a 2.5 PTBB winrate) this means he will win $500k from sideaction plus $1m in the 50k hands. Ofcourse Tom is smart enough to play only when there are no games going on.

Assume 500 hands per hour, this means 100 hours of work for a pay check of $1.5m.

durrrr outplayed us all again.

Re: DURRRRS MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE

Such a sick side bet, I can't believe any poker player could be a 3:1 favorite in an open challenge. Hopefully someone has the balls to take him up on it.

I will be shocked if it doesn't. Laying 3:1 that another world-class player can't beat him over 50k hands is ballsy/nuts.

I think he wants someone to accept.

along with 4 tables and long days, he might just be a favorite in this bet.
