Since this challenge is played on party, RIO guys dont have access to real time numbers on who's up. So, during streams, it'll be a "best guess" and they'll be posting the results after each session on https://www.runitonce.eu/galfond-challenge/ once Phil provides them with the accurate numbers.

Didn’t do any math on this, but it seems a decent line if playing just vs Perkins. Don’t know much about the skill of the other potential opponents.

On Partypoker?

Is this due to people raising suspicion about RIO? On request by Bill Perkins possibly?

It was agreed upon before the first challenge from what I’ve heard.

Is Perkins posse affiliated with party? If I remember correctly some of them streamed playing there? Or is it just because he doesn't want to pay rake to rio. Joking obv.

OH Jesus christ. If anyone is dumb enough to think this we need to shut it down asap.
PG would never ever do anything to jeopardize The cash cow that is a poker site. Being legit is 100% The best EV no matter what.

In addition to this reasoning he seems to be a standup guy thats probably quite rich. So even less motivation to do anything but the right thing.

It's pretty exciting to see a matchup with an such an underdog taking a shot. Hopefully he can get a bit of a lucky streak and make this an interesting and entertaining match.

Anyone knows if the stoploss kicks in automatically? If any of them is down 20 BI the challenge ends?

Yes. This is almost certainly how it will end too. I can’t imagine a world it goes to 30k hands.

Bill's strategy should be to ramp up variance as much as possible and hope to run well. Should be a fun match to watch.

I haven't seen betting odds displayed like this before. Is it equivilant of - 198 and - 184?

Seems pretty crazy that PG offers $1M against $250k odds given the 20 buyin stoploss. If he goes on a 20 buyin downswing he'll be down $1.4M

Not sure what-198 or -184 means but this means that if you wager say $1000 you'd win $1000 * 1.98 = $1.980 (a $980 profit)

If there is one match where you can expect non gto oldschool big bluffs poker I believe it's this one.
