OmahaDonk 500K hands in 45 days - Page 2 - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

Something doesn't seem right here. Omaha Donk plays almost exclusively 1-2-5 and 5-5 live or lower and wants to put up 50k on himself that he can do this when he hasn't ever played more than a dozen or so tables at a time for more than an hour? Maybe this is the best value bet I've ever laid my eyes on, but it seems like... "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is..."

I just don't see omaha donk putting up what must be a huge chunk of his roll on a prop bet where the real line is probably 10/1 or worse against. Based on the information he's given alone the true odds are probably 100/1 or more against... I just don't see how there isn't some missing information or some angle. Omahadonk just ran some numbers, decided it was possible, and decided to put up 50k to give it a shot? Call me a skeptic but I'm interested to see how this all pans out.

my thoughts exactly

as kelnel posted when I said I wanted the action at 5-1 if you were to vpn from the states i was obv trolling lol, that would never be able to happen

Op sent me a message asking if i would judge the bet if it were to happen. I would be more than happy to do that. Situation seem's too weird to want to bet on anything myself

And urubu 2-1 probably too good of odds for the person taking the bet, 1-1 more fair

Before I start with the rules, to ensure I have enough games, I'd like to either get the stakes lowered to .50-1 or the ability to play HU tables. I don't want Pokerstars lack of players to be the reason I fail.

Thoughts?

It's like getting in a fight with a guy who gives you the ass whoopin of your life and then telling people he's not that tough.

everyone knows spurs are old and unathletic. they probably can´t compete this year in the playoffs.

Yeah, it´s just as easy as not being a degen, not flipping for your net worth etc.

maybe you should add zoom in your bet. honeslty i dont think adding zoom make any diference in the bet. (wont be harder or easier w zoom).

I think it would be best if you use all of the rules from Urubu's bet.

What urubu says... 1-1 bet seems fair. Everything is 50/50 anyway.

It's a bit harder when you run like 25k under ev to start out

If that affects your mindset as hard as it did urubus it's prolly not a good idea to start such a bet in the first place..

lol at anyone not expecting to run 30 BI under ev at some point during a challenge like this. Having to play 12k/day everyday and bring in your A game is draining. Add to this sleep deprivation, food quality being sub par, variance and what not and you have a nice cocktail to break a couple fuses.

Assuming we get tons of proof that there's no funny business going on, I would lay 5-1. Btw what you want is an rdp, not a vpn.

Haven't looked into this but can't Pokerstars look for this with their invasive scanners ? Not sure they have/had these but iirc Party used to have this.
