how many hands did Jman and Booooosted end up playing?

That has to be near the top for most hands played HU vs the same opponent.

Edit: looking through the old thread it seems around 20k

ill take your word for it.
I think if 50k is a very good sample, then the odds given are not as bad as ppl make it seem, assuming durrrr is +EV vs the opponent. I still think durr would have gotten plenty of action at 2:1 or something.

The main deterrent is 50k hands. I assume many ppl (ivey) do not have that type of commitment to prove a point. I think it is unlikely that ivey will play durrr, b/c imo he was never a guy who wanted to be #1. He never wants to prove anything.

Secondly, I think possibly winning 1 million or w/e is not a great incentive for phil ivey. He only played like 95k hands and won $7m in 2008 iirc.

Playing 50k hands HU vs 1 tough opponent (and potentialy losing money) would be way more stressful. I think it is far more likley that an internet player with some friends will pull together some dough and play 3 on 1 vs durrrr.

hes obviously doing it for two reasons.

1. he's going to be getting huge hu action. Where he keeps whatever he wins, plus the 500k

2. The create even more buzz about himself, and to promote w/e the hell hes into now.

Hes top of the food chain period. No one is lining up to play durrr. Thats 100%

None of the "big name" live pros are going to 4-table for 100 hours against the best(?) online player today...

I'm looking for how this = durrr fears jman and I don't see it. All I see is durrr saying he won't lay jman 3 to 1. Big difference imo.

News flash.. does anyone see the big name pros doing any reading during live games?

Look at PAD for ex... Besides, PA, Ivey, who isnt just sitting there playing there hands..? heck they dont even stop talking for a sec. let alone pay attention if they are not in the hand.

The feel online, that u develop for big name guys like durrr, is far greater then what u get from live play..

U just have to be comftorble with urself, away from ur laptop.

The pros, the top pros, are gambling mroe and reading less nowadays. ITs a fact

50K hands?

The best player will win almost every time.

How small an edge would Durr have to have in order to make the true odds of this bet 10-1? I don't know but I know it is very small.

Whoever takes on Durr in this is an idiot.

What would be more intersting is if Durrr went to Vegas with a pile a cash and said he was the new Andy Beal. I'm sure Doyle and crew would take his action without Durrr even laying odds.

This would be the ultimate decider in the online vs. live debate.

Seems like a super nit style would have the best chance.... just keep folding trying to get to the 50k hand mark with risking as little money as possible.

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