DURRRRS MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE (Ivey and PA accept) - Page 16 - Poker News

Noone will accept this.There are not many guys with edge over him and some of the guys that have edge over him probably cant 4 table and barely play online .... i doubt any of the FTP nosebleed players will accept coz they have like 120k hands @ year and those 50k hands can be easily done in like a month if both agree to do so but i doubt they will and who ll want to participate in such huge bet over a long amount of time

It was locked because all anyone was doing in it was posting about how they had transfered $.02 to DN. I'll reopen it, but if it continues to just be a thread where people post "OMG LOL I just shipped him $.02 turn on my boomswitch" I'll lock it again.

Wow. Just...wow.

Your point requires more analysis.

Re-evaluate at certain points and hope you run like Durrrr for 50k hands.

I've seen the folding strat over and over and I don't see how it will work. Have you guys done the math on how much folding every hand costs you?

You will pay $600 every two hands to fold. Doing that over 50k hands will cost you $15m.

There may come a point when you're ahead enough that you can fold into the money... here's some numbers:

At hand 40,000, you have to be ahead $3m to fold into the money.
At hand 45,000, you have to be ahead $1.5m to fold into the money.
At hand 48,000, you have to be ahead $600k to fold into the money.

Looks like you're probably playing at least 45,000 hands of poker if you take this challenge.
