Dago 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 50k hands at 200/400 ... That's 30 million (15 from each) in blinds alone that will get on the table and two guys who hate folding.... very big indeed Link to post Share on other sites
JaNnN 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yep 200+400 blinds = 600600 X 50.000 hands = $ 30.000.000 in blindsI would say that there will be agressive play every 10 or 11 hands where the pot will reach at least $8.000. so that will be another $40.000.000 not including the big-ass-potsTotal amount that will be bet and won/lost on either side will be in exes of $100.000.000,00Come and get some!!Jan Link to post Share on other sites

coug2828 8 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 if it does go down full tilt will break any previous records for number of people logged in at once viewing the action. Link to post Share on other sites
OrzyVibe 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 if it does go down full tilt will break any previous records for number of people logged in at once viewing the action.Also, Jergens lotion sales will also go thru the roof as the fanboys get lathered up, railing with one hand and ZOMGing with the other. If you spend any time at all watching this online, you are L-A-M-E. Read the write-ups afterward, certainly...it is interesting. But otherwise: Link to post Share on other sites
Stiles2004 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 What about rake? How much money can be made on rake alone?CrikeyETA: think of the rakeback! Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be a great test of skill and fortitude for durrr and whoever his opponent would be to play this match. Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainQuint88 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 What are the odds that any of these matches ever occur? I'm guessing they will start but there will be some buyouts. Link to post Share on other sites
bigbrennan 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Lets look at this from another angle...Ivey's only interest is not just the playing of the poker, and the potential profit from that.Look at the buzz it is already creating around Full Tilt, and the free advertising it will get in all the press. I'm sure a PR guy would be able to put a price on the exposure this is getting FullTilt and the potential revenue it could generate, and I'm sure that the ad value + odds laid by Durrr makes this an extremely + EV proposition for Ivey and anyone with a share holding in FullTilt.

The only people who know about this match are people who cared about online poker before hand and knew about Full Tilt poker. They're not going to advertise this on TV and thousands of people aren't suddenly going to deposit on FT because some guy is playing some other guy. Ivey would take just about any challenge anyone throws down to him. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'll take Ivey even money for $20 on Stars. The winner of the match is based on the side bet or buy out. Link to post Share on other sites
ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Anyone think that one of the reasons Galfond is not allowed in this challenge is that he is invested in/partially backing Durrr? As mentioned earlier, there is a huge amount of money involved in this and the two are well known as being friends. Link to post Share on other sites

As mentioned earlier, there is a huge amount of money involved in this and the two are well known as being friends.Maybe or it could be that Durr does not think he has an advantage over him, or he just flat out does not want to bet that much money against a good friend. Even between gamblers, these are things that ruin friendships. Link to post Share on other sites

phlegm 6 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Wonder if the action will be policed in any way. For instance, what would prevent someone from having a partner who would play half the tables. Link to post Share on other sites

For reasons i really dont feel like articulating, i'd put ivey, durrrr, antonius and benyamine at the bottom of my most likely to cheat list. Link to post Share on other sites
