Ultimate heads-up matches

[valenzuela]

For those who dont know an ultimate heads-up match consists of:
-Pot Limit Omaha Hi Freezeout, 100x the BB starting stacks, no blinds increment.
-Rock paper scissors, the first to win 10 times wins the game.
-Checkers, custom yahoo checkers rules. The loser of the RPS challenge chooses color.
-Tennis, the first to win 2 sets, the final set has no tiebreak.
-Hotdog eating competition, the one who eats most hotdogs on 12 minutes wins.

So who would win.

My money's on Negreanu in the hot dog eating contest.

Especially since he wouldn't even eat the bun that touched a hot dog.

Ditka would win even if he were 18" tall and had one arm amputated.

PL Omaha - Advantage Negreanu
RPS - Push
Checkers - Advantage Sklansky
Tennis - Advantage Negreanu
Hotdog eating - Advantage Sklansky

This one was close, but I think Sklansky's average edge in these games is larger. I'm assuming Negreanu isn't allowed to eat some kind of tofu-dog, which basically means he's forfeiting one of the competitions.

PL Omaha - Advantage Matusow
RPS - Push
Checkers - Advantage Raymer
Tennis - Advantage Matusow
Hotdog eating - Advantage Raymer

Once again, I think Raymer has the bigger edges here as he's probably not much of a dog in the Omaha freezeout. If he can swing that one in his favor or get lucky in the RPS, he takes it.

I like this idea a lot but I would personally go with
-heads up HORSE instead of PLO
-more repitions of rock paper scissors

I think Matusow > Raymer in hot-dog eating, matusow seems more like they guy willing to eat hot-dogs to beat his oponent, it would be nice to get some inside from raymer himself.
No, negreanu isnt allowed to eat tofu hot-dogs, however I think that if hes tied at 2, he will just eat meat .( only against sklansky, I cant think of any other oponent in which u can get him to eat hotdogs)

Negreanu is almost certain to have the advantage in rock paper scissors.

if there were real reason to believe Negreanu would have an advantage in RPS, then Sklansky would almost certainly just randomize, making it a push by construction. This is pretty much the only one we can be sure of here.
