Was there any talk of the rules? The MN kids get to play whoever they want or is there a rotation?

The night this dialogue went down, his words were that we could pick whoever we wanted to play, and it was a $100k freezeout with our side getting to choose whatever stakes we wanted it to be (ie we could theoretically say 200/400 if we really wanted to lock up the W with 99.9% likelihood)

Yeah, but you guys will gambool it up and play 500/1,000 yeah?

I think we were thinking probably 500/1000 or 400/800. All of us have plenty of live experience so I doubt endurance will become a factor at these stakes.

I think the Lieu/Erik123 match was best 2 of 3. Maybe do that here to reduce variance if he runs sick hot? Go Schneids!

What stakes does Esposito normally play? Is he a professional?

I think the Minnesota crew, to make it honorable, should designate one person to play the entire match.

Schneids - I'm really curious why you think you are a 99.9% favorite to win if the match is for 250BB? Is Esposito that bad at heads up play?

Lol. If he knows not to show his cards and hand rankings he will win more than .1% of the time.


Edit: Actually, knowing hand rankings is probably not needed.

you might want to consider doing this at the wynn, for a 100k freezeout they would probably give a table in the corner of the high stakes area and treat you better than the bellagio

I said it mainly to needle Esposito -- nobody would be a 99.9% fav in a 250BB HU match. Anyway though, I think we do have a sizeable advantage, and the better Q instead of asking if we know much about Esposito is if he knows much about us (not to sound cocky, but shouldn't he at least be a little bit curious about us?). I've never seen Esposito play, but CMO and Kirby are familiar with him.
