If Prox wins, do we start a conspiracy that he bought people off to join the table and lose to him to buff up his numbers or not

Don’t you have like 9000 hands to go? I’d have taken those odds initially if I knew you were doing side bets 

 

not taking the bet only tells me you’re no longer confident you’ll win lmao it’s 2:1 odds but you’re willing to do 100m & not 1b interesting

Not interesting.

 

Hes got 3b+ whatever he wins/loses already invested in this match. And hes almost 2k hands in and down a buy in, maybe he wants to limit exposure a lil ? 

dont you think he woulda bet/prox woulda taken 4 vs 8 if he really wanted to put up 4?  

gl to you both!. 

LeoBazooka [3788786]

Yep rightly said teej, the only limiting factor to this sidebet was the amount I was comfortable putting, I think prox would have even taken 10b to 20b.

Confident in winning? 

My man I am hella confident, but does that mean I'll go broke backing that? 

No. 

I might lose in this sample of 10k hands, that doesn't have anything to do with skill, the sample size is still small. 

 

At the end of the day, I owe my name's goodwill to only put up and amount which I can pay and move on to taking money from 'recs' like you. 

 

Which goes to tell me, you don't play poker? You're not even a frequent on the regular high stakes table, so do your bit as commentator and only watch.

If you had said "no I want to limit my exposure" that would have been a perfectly reasonable response, you didn't though. You said you wouldn't take more action despite only being down 1 buy in with 8/9000 hands to go. You accepted another 100m at the same odds, I didn't think another 1b was a crazy leap but I respect wanting to limit exposure on top of what you stand to lose in the game. 

 

I'm under no illusions about my skills on the felt, but I didn't challenge a top 5 winner so it's not all that relevant. You opened yourself up to public comments when you posted on public forums... 

 

 

You're right, I don't play the highest stakes tables. I play where I'm profitable, I was down ~6b net from pure punting and only recently started taking it seriously, more than happy to post my stats. 15b swing in ~2 months playing a couple days here and there. Happy to play against you if you want to come for my money. I'll move up in stakes when my poker bankroll warrants it but I'm currently spending most profits on SE so it'll probably be a while. 

 

I never even commented on your skill, only your confidence in your skill. Regardless, best of luck to you.

This is a cool challenge, I wish best of luck to you both. Please post some juicy hand with some weird action :)

 

I would never do something like this, I'm garbage in HU, but it's cool to lurk
