Good idea.

Yes, correct.

b) if you're still paying vig on individual winning flips, he's still gonna owe vig after a losing session. if you're only paying vig on winning sessions, this changes the EV of each flip depending on how much you're up/down.

Lol at potentially owing 49k in vig after numerous 50k flips and being break even and then losing last flip and other guy wins 50k and forgoes the vig so only 1k up from previous flip.

Seriously you guys should stop with those derogatory threads.
Everybody knows that Urubu left Brazil for Vegas months ago!
PLayer to player fund transfers are illegal in Nevada, therefore Urubu won't do it. I blame more this INNOCENT euro guy for trying to have Urubu commit fraud

I think it's from a PS commercial with Jason Mercier where he cracks aces with 65s or something.

Urubu, you pretty much announced you're not paying the vig in your last post. Is this the case? And if it is, how can you justify it to everyone, and most importantly, to yourself?

Urubu, the innocent euro guy seems like he understands the situation so that's not like anyone is going to put a gun to your head anytime soon.

You should take a few days off from poker, then seek a stake (seeing your results that won't be too hard) and get back to being a successfull midstakes grinder.

Best of luck to you buddy.
