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.

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

50,000 hands isn't exactly a coin flip.
if he wins at 5ptbb/100 he's going to win $2M+$500k

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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....

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.

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
