Re: parameters of the match
The whole thing about IP is just not viable I'd say, it's all too easy to work around this using proxies/re-rout traffic/etc.
As for that, you will both just have to trust each other, this being way much more about honor than money. 50k is of course a substantial amount, but not to the degree that it is worth more than honor and self-respect to either player (I hope), and thus this should really not be an issue. Had there been an easy way to control this then fine, but since there is not, this is one stipulation that is just not enforcible.

[/ QUOTE ]You have a weird definition of honour. Surely some computer guy knows an easy way for Samo to confirm that the guy he's playing is actually playing from Thailand? I'm sure that would be enough to satisfy him, as FSU said I doubt some ringer is flying out to Thailand to play. KKF will, of course, just have to trust Samo.

Re: parameters of the match
Don't these guys both claim to be the best HU player in the world? Who would they get to sub for them? Even if there were 2-3 other guys who are better, it is definitely not to anyone's advantage for them to stop playing 300/600 HU or whatever in order to play 10/25 against another top player. Just STFU and play normally without any retarded IP conditions...

Re: parameters of the match
[ QUOTE ]
KKF lives in thailand, so chances of him getting patrick a. or mahatma to play in his place using his IP are quite low. [/ QUOTE ] I dont know the latest history of high stakes poker but wasnt KKF owning Mahathma on daily basis ? And I doub Patrick A would play long long match for 50k if buy-in in his regular game is 60k. [ QUOTE ] IP address [/ QUOTE ] I dont play on UB is it possible to see IP address of other player there ? I seriously doubt so... So assume you ahve that IP address. How are you going to verify that its real KKF clicking the mouse ?

Re: parameters of the match

fine, whatever. no IP needed. I don't think of KKF as a particularly honorable character, but I imagine it would be difficult enough to cheat ... [/ QUOTE ] and he likely wouldnt since the whole basis of this match is that both of you think you have an edge on the other. ergo, no need to bring in a "ringer"

[/ QUOTE ] I think the real issue is that KKF wouldn't cheat anyway because he believes he's better HU than anyone else (or at least than anyone he could get to play). This is especially true considering he'd probably have to give his "ringer" a cut of the action, in which case he'd have to be significantly worse than the ringer for it to be worth it for him as opposed to just playing himself with a smaller edge but higher expectation.
