not like mtt sngs, cos stts get shorthanded like ... always.

So playing 10,000 mtt sngs in a month is easier than playing 10,000 stt?

I think it's entirely plausible that should be the case.

I don't know exactly how long the average player lasts in a MTT sng (say a 45 man) but i imagine to be only like... 25% longer (max) than an STT.

Combine this with the fact that you can't play as many tables of STTs because it becomes shorthanded more more frequently/quickly than an MTT sng.

I haven't done any maths regarding this but i reckon its easier to play 10k mtt sngs in a month than 10k stt sngs in a month.

I'll try not to spite you, but no promises.

Haven't done any math, but I think u might be off on that, WhiteRabbito. How long does a STT lasts for u to take it down?

Iirc I read on one of the pro-bet threads that a 45man might last for as long as 2h. Gonna ask flettl2 and see what he says.

Don't underestimate what a huge plus sync breaks are in mtt sng as opposed to none in stt's.

"He even offered to give me his mom's contact information, but I already had it." - Spat coffee on my computer screen at work. Had to convince people I was coughing and not laughing at something I had seen on the internet when I should be working. First day too, bad times.

Good luck OP, would be very impressive if you did this!

Alright so I decided to have Mike Haven as the escrow instead of jdawg91. Nothing against jdawg91 because I feel like he is a very honest and responsible person, but we just needed someone who has done this type of thing before.

I am going to start up an official thread later but just wanted to throw this out there before I do.

And also, there is still room to bet on this if anyone wants to.

So, ppl say 45mans last 1h avg, up to 2h to take it down. How does that compare to STTs?

Roughly half the time.

Last edited by Langerdang; 10-22-2010 at 03:12 PM. Reason: maybe average like 30 mins and 45-55 mins to win one

There's no way the average player lasts a whole hour in a 45 man. you realise blinds at that point are 800/1600? And typical that is already HU!. But i'd still say it would only be like 40-45 mins for a 45 man. This is where blinds are between 300-600 and 400-800... Keep in mind you have a 1500 hundred start stack, and we're both talking about turbos right?

This is not to win a 45 man, which isn't the point, this is how long, on average, you will be in a 45 man.

I think that 30 mins for the average STT is about right.

At these buyins, it's definitely easier to get 10k STTs than for example 10K 18s.
Combining 45/180s of several buyins is prolly the easiest, since then you've got both enough action, and dont have to play short sessions because of the synced breaks...

But that's nothing a peebottle won't fix for the STTs obv

Is there a min-bet?

just for the sweat, (if it means i can't play in the 16s then dw)

edit: just saw min 300, too much for just the sweat >.< if you reduce this let me know. or if someone wants to bet like 30:10 on the side also let me know

I actually keep going back and forth on whether or not I want to do this because I'm really not sure if I can. I want to at least give it a try though so I keep telling myself to push it.

Ill take you off the list though once I come up with the official thread.

Don't think the roommates you have will let you fail, I heard you cascade is that true? If so thats a huge disadvantage and you should write that, should get you more action. If you need any advice on stacking 40 tables hit me up I really want to see you do this bet. peace

Nvm, we're talking different blind structures. The ones I talked about are on FTP with 6min blinds, so in 1h or play u'll have 120-240 blinds if I'm not mistaken.
