Yeah fair enough. Lets discuss it later this week then.

So if I play 50k hands and you play 100k hands I owe you $5k.

I want slightly better odds though
Now this has great potential to turn into an amazing challenge, looking forward to see how it plays out.

I think this a quite dangerous challenge and could go very badly for both, it has a lot of potential to end up in a lose/lose scenario for both, since this prop bet is probably higher than skuzi's winrate. If skuzi plays and loses at a -1bb/100 he will profit. So if he puts some abysmal volume, broken will have to follow him, which could make him play very poorly to try to cover the volume.

The chances of each getting burnt out are too high with the bet giving each a 5bb/100 at 200z. Maybe it's better to bet a fixed amount or reduce the bet to $0.02/hand(1bb/100 at 200z)

+1

The incentive to play poorly, solely for the sake of volume, needs to be somehow minimized imo.

There's a table limit on ignition so it's a bit different than doing it on other sites.... For like 95% of the day 500z doesn't run, so the maximum hands/hr is two 200z and two 500z, which 4 z tables is what a lot of professionals do nowadays. It's not like we'd have 24 tables up or 8 tables of z --- not possible. The overall play shouldn't take too big of a hit. Anyways we can discuss.

I think you're underestimating how much incentive skuzi has to play 16h/day

Maybe. As I said we can discuss some fair terms.

Basically what Broken already stated, only 2x tables at a time, also the 200z pool does not run 24hr a day, and even so only plays with 10 or runners at times. Although I do think setting maybe hour/per day max. would be helpful I still think this is a good prop for incentive getting in some decent volume for both players without going into overkill.

Free roll for Skuz no matter the terms. All that needs to happen is for Broken to go on a break-even session and there goes his volume.

Accept the challenge Skuz. Free money.

Mzbourg probably gets to his home after work, turns this music on, get a glass of wine and thinks about brokenstars all night "brokenstars is such a luckbox" "when he hits his downswing he will see". Haha

Spoiler:


Nobody here thinks about brokenstars as much as you, mzbourg, gotta try your chances with him because he is getting married soon haha!

Vaaaamooo

Facts. I mean I do get it, the guy is one heck of a poker player with the sick dancing skills to match ... but the obsession is clearly reaching scary levels at this point.

Just refuse to be a fanboy to a lucky trash can like the rest of you useless peasants.

Look at Rapidesh. Bought his coaching and is still terrible. Need I say more?

It will never get to the point of your pathetic ass kissing. Nice try though.

Why is it that when a "troll" gets trolled back they are oh so sensitive and take things so personally man, what kind of life it must be to wake up everyday and be a pro keyboard warrior / full time internet hater. The levels of insecurities this dude must have would make a bus full of strippers cringe even.

It’s amazing how effortless you make it look. Writing a bunch of words but saying absolutely nothing. Rapidesh level of useless.

Simply put, since I know it might be hard for you to actually comprehend what I am trying to say at times, I don't know a single person who is winning at poker & in real life who would talk down upon somebody as you do, esp. when they all are doing leaps better than you are in poker. Envy is a cruel & ugly trait.

Simply put. You’re useless and I am doing infinitely better than you at both life and poker.

Done.

I have no clue how good of a coach Broken is, but from his strat posts and watching him play he's probably at least decent at it. He gave me advice about profitably dealing with aggro 3-bettors that have position on me that was great.

The point is a student's poor results doesn't necessarily reflect on a coach skill if the student is stubborn and doesn't apply what he was taught in game.

When I got coaching from him I was struggling at 50z for 6 months, after that I went straght to 200z and battled in there for close to 100k hands in the toughest days of the week and toughest hours of the day, facing 40-80 player pools with isramazeltov, jakeeee,godofhu, shifty and vs them I haven't made one bad play but a bad x/r vs jakeeeee.

Also broken provided me with the best advice I could have gotten for the price I paid, it's not his fault if I didn't listen to everything that he taught me(but it's not as simple as that, some stuff is harder to apply and take more time, I'm still using the material he gave me even today and trying to apply what he taught me).

It's easy to say I'm bad when there's no way you would have the balls to jump in that pool in a million years and expect to be +EV.

What do you get out of belittling, and insulting people constantly? You must be getting something out of this incredibly negative and toxic behavior, but I have no clue what it is...
