Afaik Tom made some really bad investments in bananas recently and is now struggling financially.

I can't imagine how he'll afford this.

as much as i hate to agree. I do. open for some small bets if this is to start + when eventual details get out about stakes etc.

if it were .5 1k its another thing, but it wont be.

its a ridiculous point to make. that's like saying kobe bryant is a degenerate basketball player cause he takes 100,000 jumpers in the off-season and then goes 7 for 30 on any given night.
Because he makes outrageous prop bets? Hell this challenge itself is super degen, none of these players are a 3-1 dog to durrrr.

Yes, he puts up 1.5 million to 500k for the person who turns profit after 50k hands

50k hands is a pretty small sample for high stakes. I doubt there's enough edge for durrrr against any relatively good HS player for 3-1.

You realize his edge has to be very small for it to be fine for him to offer 3-1 over 50k hands right?

It doesn't matter since they'll end up playing 500 hands/week just like with the other people...

Yeah Durrrr has a small edge. He just crushed probably the best PLO player alive in the first challenge.

Does anyone know what Jungleman's lifetime record is versus Isildur1? How much is Isildur1 beating him overall?
