Default Specs Of Jman28 v Boosted J (START TOMORROW)

Boosted, let's get this hammered out. I think I'll be able to start tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. I was fine with most of your stipulations, but I am pretty against the not leaving 10k+ tables. What do you think? Here are the rules as I would like them:

-25/50 HU on 4-8 tables. (I'd like to be able to play a couple really juicy other games if they pop up)
-Play until someone WINS 100k.
-Each send 10k to durrr to give to one of us if the other backs out.
-No sessions less than 2 hrs.
-10 min max break time every 2 hrs.
-Close any table with over 10k effective stacks and open a new one
-You aren't allowed to suckout

What do you think? Do you agree to these? Have any additions/changes? How are we gonna track results? Trust my PT database?

Let's get this worked out so we can start tomorrow.

(PS. More people should be betting on this. Someone start a thread or something. I would bet on it, but I kind of already am betting 100k.)

Just a few questions.

1.) Why leave any table with 10K+ stacks? You don't want to play deep stacked poker with Boosted?

2.) I saw Durrrr playing 25/50 recently. Is it wise to trust him with 10k? =P

I've already explained that our styles create a lot of swings. If we play a few tables with 15-20k on them, someone could win/lose 100k in a day fairly easily, and a lot of it could go in on 55/45 type hands.

I want to keep the luck factor under control as much as possible. 100k is a decent number, but even that is a little low for the way our games play.

I'd like it if the best player could win this competition 80+% of the time.

Why not compromise & only have 1 table at 10k+, with a max of 20k?

This will at least allow for some deep stack play without creating too major of a swing.

May I suggest 150K in that case? Or possibly 1MM?

Okay, we can close any tables that have effective stacks of 300xbb or more. We also BOTH must always be playing 7 tables total each, 4 tables minimum against each other. if you want to play 3 6 max and 4 HU vs. me, that's fine, preferably to go 7+ tables HU at all times unless you honestly find a very juicy game. These are the last conditions I am willing to agree with. I would also say that a more reasonable/beneficial way to determine teh tru winnar would be to set a number of hands we should play rather than a win amount. I'd say we should play 50k hands or so. That would be 35 hours of poker playing 7 tables getting 200 hands/hour/table. That would basically be 7 days of poker at 5 hours a day. That sounds very, very good to me. It would be much better for spectactors as well
