Hypothetical:

A top-ranked tournament pro (say anyone from the top 250) agrees to play 100 PokerStars NLHE Play Money Tournaments. Only condition is that it be a tournament that has at least 200 participants. What is your best guess as to what you think this pro would be comfortable laying a bet (any meaningful, relatively healthy sum) in terms of projected performance of 1st place and Top ten finishes, respectively?

At what threshold would you consider betting against the pro's projection?

What salient points can you offer that you feel support your estimates?

100 mtts is way too few to make a bet on and why would he bet any meaningful sum and than play play money?

Afaik, Barry Greenstein still plays playmoney tourneys once a week and is the all-time winningest playmoney player on Stars (not sure, don’t quote me).

I would look up his results and benchmark that for the prop bet.
