I'm in for $100 if I'm getting the HH's (and the won't be publically accessible anyway).

I'm in for $1000 if anyone here can do some simulations that convinces me that it's more than 50% chance that he won't make it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah if it's close to 50% you're not really throwing your money away. You're wasting a few dozen Sklansky dollars at most. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This is exactly why it will be impossible to distinguish between a chip dumper he planted from some donk.

it's too easy for him to have someone dump him chips. Even doing it once or twice at the 11's or 22's gives him a huge boost.

you know you are talking about the 11s and 22s. they will all be dumping to him regardless. but thanks for bringing this up.

You should just give him 10,000$ to do it without wagering, since that will take away the incentive to cheat. And people seem to be willing to pay 100$ for the HHs, and they will be worth more if there's a guarantee of no cheating.

I think there may be some annoying logistics problems with having a prop bet with loads of people involved.

I think Gigabet can do it since he get to start out with 15 buy-ins instead of the five he said he would make it with. But of course he needs to be lucky not to his a big downswing early on.

No one's gonna cheat. Well respected people here respect Gigabet. Never met the guy, but that's enough for me. Poker is a gentleman's game. If nothing else, imagine the ego blow of someone like Gigabet admitting to himself he'd have to cheat to beat the $11s. Only the bad guys cheat, like these guys:


And if I have 0 chance of getting my money back, my $200 goes down to $100.

I'm in for $100 as long as that includes the HHs, so where do we send the money?

Yeah, I'm sure no one ever cheated at poker. How exactly did Cobra-Kia cheat btw? Sure, they weren't nice guys, but I wouldn't call them cheaters. Johny swept Daniel's legs, but he got DQ'ed for that. It's not like they broke any rules.

Gigabet agrees to provide access to the complete hand history for each game played.

[/ QUOTE ]


Can someone say for sure if those who place side bets get to see these. Or is this just for verification by lacky?
