Clif notes: Durrrr challenges anyone expect Phil Galfond to a 50k 200/400 HU challenege at PLO or NLHE. Sounds like Benyamine, Ivey, and Antonious will all accept. If Durrrr ends up he wins $500k extra from loser, if he ends up down any amount he owes winner an extra $1.5M.

[Ragnar4]

wow.. he's laying 1.5 mill to win an additional 500k in what is essentially a coinflip?

[bigspenda73]

50,000 hands isn't exactly a coin flip.

if he wins at 5ptbb/100 he's going to win $2M+$500k

[Irisheyes]

Man I love BG and all but he always sounds disgustingly up on Iveys nuts.

[WildBobAA]

Does anyone know the reason of why he wouldn't play Phil Galfond?

[Jack Sawyer]

Does anyone know the reason of why he wouldn't play Phil Galfond?

he's the boogeyman

[frosst]

prob the same reason galfond avoids durr and the dang twins

[givememyleg]

i do love how humble ivey is

[Ragnar4]

oh.. 50k hands.

Yeah, I guess that you could establish who's the better player after 50k hands. Do you really think that Durr would run 5ptbb/100 against *anyone* that plays at that kind of level?

[bigspenda73]

Does anyone know the reason of why he wouldn't play Phil Galfond?

according to Ivey he wants a live pro who he has the multi-tabling edge over.

[bigspenda73]

they showed some statistical data, it seems very possible the worse of the two players can run at 5ptbb/100 over 50k hands (something like 25-30% of the time this could happen).

I still think Durrrr is the best and will own any of them.

[bode]

awesome. i followed that thread for a few days and left off yesterday on page 3. just looked and it blew up to 7 already. this is going to be so fucking epic when(if?) it happens.

[WildBobAA]

I hope they break even and someone loses by $1 right at the end.

[mrhappy333]

Phil Ivey I think could win this.

[Ragnar4]

I haven't watched the feed because I'm at work..

How many tables do they want to play 50k hands at? I would think the more tables added, the greater advantage to Durr.

[bigspenda73]

min. 4 tables

[mrhappy333]

Shit, is this tonite?

[BennyLaRue]

Shit, is this tonite?

Don't know when it is starting (the audio file didn't say) but 50,000 hands will take a month, at least.

[ProZachNation]

I challenged durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to a .01/.02 HU match over 15 hands with him paying me 1 million if I won and me crying like a girl if I lost. and he politely declined, citing he did not want to see me cry.

if they put in 4-5 hours a day, they could have this done in way less than a month.

[bigspenda73]

should be able to do like 1000h/hr at NL, I'm not sure about h/hr at PLO HU seeing how you're going to see like 75% of flops compared to what, like 15-20% in NLHE?

Maybe Sauce could give some insight....

[WildBobAA]

This finally started. Durrr and patrik are 4-tabling 200/400 PLO right now.

[drmcboy]

should be able to do like 1000h/hr at NL, I'm not sure about h/hr at PLO HU seeing how you're going to see like 75% of flops .

yep, all 4 tables just under 75% flops, ~80 hands per hour

[Da GOAT]

damn i wanna watch but in work

Ivey was so focused on his heads up game with durrr he couldnt even talk on the phone

I'd hope so. I've never seen LeBron talk on the phone during a game either.

[bigspenda73]

I was thinking about creating a desktop feed seeing how I barely use my 2nd monitor, was wondering what kind of rate I could charge to stream these 4 tables all day long.

[bigred]

Not enough to outweigh full tilt lawsuits?

[DaddyDeez]

Its cool but id rather watch Ziig try to f own him. Wed get alot of good chat imo.

[bigspenda73]

why could I get sued by FullTilt? People stream sporting events and TV shows all the time.

[a500lbgorilla]

and get sued out the ahole!

[ensign_lee]

Too bad they just played early this morning and then stopped...

[a500lbgorilla]

looks like durrrs got it in the bag.

[bjsaust]

Pretty sick if so. Will help make up for some of his recent losses I saw reported.

[bigspenda73]

Too bad they just played early this morning and then stopped...

yea, not like they have 39,000 more hands to play or anything

[wufwugy]

durr r running at liek 25ptbb

totally sustainable

[WildBobAA]

Too bad they just played early this morning and then stopped...

What? You thought they were gonna sit there and play 50K hands straight or something?

lol, maybe I'm just naive, but yes?

That, and I got to see NONE of it, which was sad.

[bigspenda73]

durr r running at liek 25ptbb

totally sustainable

he actually ran a bit below expectation too from what I watched

[wufwugy]

so in all seriousness i think we may see durr come out on top with like 1ptbb wr. i srsly doubt he's any worse than pa at plo, and if anything he's better, but more importantly they say he's a multitabler, and 4 tables of plo is like 6 or 7 tables of nlhe, and i think durr's edge could simply be the first 10k hands or so.

however it is possible that hes just better than pa in the first place. i have doubts about that tho. when two really fantastic players play each other it seems to boil down to which one has more energy/focus, less tilt because their games are refined enough that they dont have any holes given the actually rather large margin of error in poker reads

[WildBobAA]

how? pa nor dur part of cr

[bigspenda73]

Gotta bump this b/c these guys are in their 12th hour (from what I've gathered) of a sick marathon session with Durrrr up somewhere around $1,000,000. He's gone from being down ~600k earlier in the challenge to up ~800k.

[ChrisBCritter]

Where did you get this from? HighstakesDB is way wacky out of date...

Long way to go yet! Wish I was ever aware when the games were on to rail a bit.

[bjsaust]

What ever happenned with this?

[bigspenda73]

PA ass-raped Durrrr in a sesh, actually got back to even, or slightly ahead, then Durrrr ass-raped him back, and is now ~420k ahead at the halfway mark. They rarely play, I'd say like once a month, as there have been bigger NL/PLO games running and I guess they're too cool for 200/400 school.
