Default 1000 dollar prop bet....

me and my roommate (both winners and regulars at 100 hu sng) have a 1000 dollar prop bet against another poker player across the hall.

The conditions are as follows: Between the two of us we have to play $10 hu sng for 72 hours, alternating every hour; we have to play at least 350 matches before the 72 hours is complete; and our combined ROI has to be greater than 20%.

Who has the edge?

Are you allowed to multitable?

Do you have to play for the full 72 hours, or can you stop when you complete 350?

Everyone loses this bet. You lose because you play an assload of $10 sngs and the people across the hall lose a grand. And I lose for reading this thread. Lose lose lose.

Good luck with the bet though.

allowed to multi-table, but have to play for a full 72 hours. However, once you get above 350 and your roi is high enough it would be pretty easty to stall if your rediculously tired.

I mistyped that. It is alternating every 12 hours. I wouldnt have taken the bet if it was alternating every hour.

I think you are going to struggle if you havent put much time in HU - 20% ROI is pretty big, even at the 10s, for someone who is more used to full ring or even 6 max.

Edit: im a tard, you are HU winners at the 100 buy in - assuming you can adjust down pretty quicly and not run some FPS you should do the ROI, as for no of games you need to be prepared to multitable i think.

doesnt the average $10 husng take like 5 mins?
so you can 3/4-table it and finish in the first shift.
