20 Buy-in Stack at RUSH PLO8 prop bet *Interest Thread* 20 Buy-in Stack at RUSH PLO8 prop bet *Interest Thread*

04-05-2011 , 12:25 AM
The Prop:
♦ First to a 1k stack at FTP PLO8 rush, or the biggest stack in a 6hrs time period.
♦ 4 interested people so far: Myself, Ichbin, NiceguysFT, & PokerChef. We all feel the more the merrier, but this will likely go down without any merry more

Topics of discussion:
♦ When? Preferably on the most popular day for Rush PLO8, hitting at least 1 happy hour.
♦ Escrow? I'm good with myself, or any of the other 3 I just mentioned. Anyone have any objections/suggestions?
♦ Judge? A preferably non-bias person to make sure everyone starts on time, doesn't dump, gets 1k in the a lotted time, etc.
♦ The wager? The 4 of us thought $200 a person winner take all sounded both reasonable, & fair. Other opinions?

Anyone see any possible/potential issues?

Interested? Discuss ITT, or get connected to the Skype group.

Is it peak stack or biggest after the 6 hours?

I'm fine with Strikr holding the money.

Peak sounds right, but more difficult to conclude.

A random word given my a mod on the day that you have to put in chatbox when taking screenshot? Obviously we have to go on some trust that people won't photoshop. Not solid enough?

one issue is that it would be hard to monitor chipstacks and chipdumping because you cant observe rush poker tables.

I think it should be peak and if we play all at once then it is easy to confirm that someone had the number they claim to have

The motion for Peak stack in the absence of a 1k stack carries. I honestly think with 6 contestants a 1k stack will be obtained before the 6hr mark, maybe there could be a side bet on that as well (with odds even).

Possible ways to prove stack size & fairness:
-Your stack has to intersect with another competitor.
-Screen Shot of the stack in the Last Hand window with the HH# would be hard to photoshop.
-Complete hand history is reviewable by all competitors or a non-bias judge for a certain time period after the events end.

No bots aloud , but seriously all 4 of us were pretty solid on the 1k/6hr rule. Ofc everything is negotiable.

♦ I don't mind being escrow, but are there any transfer limitations on FTP I should know about?
♦ Tentative Date: How does everyone feel about Sunday the 24th of April? This also falls between O8 FTOP events

It was mentioned to try to hit a Happy Hour or two during this completion. I don't know how often they change the Happy Hours around, but here's the up coming schedule:

Apr 06, 03:00 ET - Apr 06, 03:30 ET Rush Poker

ring game happy hours also apply to Rush, and its not so much about the bonus points but about the traffic.

i figured for this week for example a 9 hr rule would permit 2 ring game and 1 rush happy hour.

I doubt any of us are interested in 1 tabling Rush so I'm sure the intention was to 4 table.

They allow 4, people could just 1 table if they wanted.

How many Europeans do you represent? I'm happy with whatever hours fit the most people the best. Seems weird as many Euro's I talk to seem to have the same sporadic schedule as I do: Wake up sometime in the afternoon, go to bed whenever.

Your time suggestion has been noted. We obv need more posts about what day/time would best fit everyone best:

Weekday or Weekend?
Best starting times factoring in Rush traffic/Happy hours?

I am from europe and time I suggested fits me nicely it is 20:00-2:00 for me so no super late night poker and traffic is the best at that time
