Obviously I understand the money would be insignificant to Ferguson or Phil, Cuz of their books and highstake limit games etc., but it would be nice to see them crush.

I think Phil hellmuth would perform even better vs durrr/jungle

so does all the money durrr lost as a 50bb stack not count? what i mean is if he is down $10k or so after 50k hands can he turn around and say that those couple hundred hands did not count therefore they must play more?

I see peoples point about Dwan being a more experienced net player, clicking tells, bet size reading etc., but Gordon and Ferguson prey on guys like this in the sky high cash games. I know its stupid to even talk about so dont flame too much cuz obviously Gordon wouldn't take the time too play for relatively small stakes, but still would be fun hypothetical.

Durrrr just loves 3-balling 39s and 38s pf for some reason. He seriously loves those hands lol.

if jungle is up say 3-400k with a few k hands left would it be ethical for jungle (if he thought it was +ev in doing so) to withdraw a massive chunk of his roll so he can shortstack...

durr making rules and not choosing to follow them is kinda confusing?! or was the rules for opponents only and he can do whatever the **** he likes lol..

I realize you are likely joking, but Hellmuth did play Dwan heads-up twice where in the first match he got him to put in all of his chips as a 4-to-1 underdog.

And Hellmuth then destroyed him the next time they played.

Small sample size, yes, but Hellmuth, like him or not, did play very well versus Dwan.

I doubt he'd buy out no matter how bad he runs/ gets owned, but this challenge could kick his ass pretty hard.

0% chance he buys out

also, comparing tourney style to deep cash is effing absurd.
