Gus currently playing 200/400 PLO with 16k cap

Not sure what he started with but I did see 32k go to 14k back to 38k

Now with a 60k stack with a peak of 80k from what I have seen.

Playing howsitfeelike, seto and schoitl

Wondering if anyone can tell me what a normal starting stack would be for one of these cap games?

Is it 2.5 - 5 caps?

yeah i know, i was just wondering for times i come in late just to get an idea of how much they might be up or down.

at the moment with 10 capped pot sizes on the table leads me to think most buy in about 2.5 caps

Whenever I play cap it's a default buyin of 100bb (2.5 caps) so I guess that, also the few times I've seen him actually sit (as opposed to watching when he's already playing) he's bought in for 40k.

A few times a week, Gus and Isildur1 will select one or more of their Challenge Tables, sit in their reserved spots and take on the players already seated or anyone else willing to face up to the challenge.

Wonder how much "a few times a week" is in their contracts...
