2) can change tables anytime eff stacks are >250bb
3) have to reload when stacks are <75bb
4) $$ won in the challenge is kept obv (if i win 750k in poker, i get that PLUS your 500k- if i lose 750k in poker you get 2.25m total).
5) same stakes the whole time
6) not open to phil galfond

hmm probly some other stuff but im out of it b/c i jus got owned @ some scrabble. I was gonna think up official 'terms' and post em or something, but thought i had another week or two b4 it became public.
this is never going to happen.

the only real money making opportunity here is taking prop bets on who actually plays more than xxxx hands with durrrr.

and even if someone does decide to this, once the match gets to about 20k hands, there is going to be some kind of buyout.

so with that perspective, who has the BR to do this?

all the players that actually have the BR (including those who sell of pieces of themselves and raise the 2.0kk necessary) to do this, there are maybe 80 players worldwide who actually have the BR neceassary.

player most likely to accept this and play more than 20k hands -- Stinger (fair odds that he plays 20k hands, 7:2)

biggest name in poker that this challenge is basically set up force a confrontation with -- Ivey (fair odds he plays 20k hands, 10:1)

let's face it, durrrr is making this challenge to the poker community at large, but he really wants to take down ivey. (he does everything but call him out)

player who is seriously considering this, but who know one suspects -- gobboboy (20:1 to play 20k hands)

player who is considering this and thinks he has a chance, but would get life crushed -- SBRugby (15:1)

the biggest douchebag in poker -- AEJones (25:1)

dream match up who would surely be + EV for this bet, but would never do it -- Annette15 (50:1)

the field (including all the crazy action freaks like Steve Sung could probably sell enough of themselves off to do this, 3:1)

in reality, there are probably 50+ 2/4 (and below) grinders who would be +EV for this bet, but do not have the BR accessabilities.

oh yeah, the wildcard -- Eastgate baby. i know very little about him, so i cant set a line.

I'd be kind of surprised if he didn't accept this tbh.
PA won't do this. it would go 5k hands at the most, even if PA was way ahead.

And oh..

That Galfond guy is prob real sick

I don't understand why him dropping down in stakes has any relevance. If you are hinting that he might be "out of tune" of the dynamics of the high stakes games and such, it would be irrelevant because I'm sure he has a rather extensive history with Dwan (pure speculation).

On another note, I doubt it would be hard for Stinger to hedge some of the bets through backings, because numerous highly regarded pros have been quoted as saying that they regard Brian Hastings as one of the best in PLO if not the best.

No-one seems to have mentioned Lars so far but he has already played several thousand hands heads up v Durrrr and tableratings has Lars up close to a million against him. I think he's more likely to accept than anyone else.

Are you referring to Krantz?

I would be interested to see how Ashman would be in this bet as well since he is quite good in HU PLO.

Also why wouldn't Whitelime or FoxwoodsFiend be good? They are quite experienced in Heads up NL.

put my boy Jman in there too - durrr is either the greatest leveler ever or doesn't realize that he will be busto way before 50k hands

I think the over under would be 30k hands before someone buys out the other guy - also would be great to see Krantz/FWF/Whitelime back each other on this
