Default Over/under on how many hands before a \"Tilt\" regular loses one?

..and I don't mean on purpose or to another regular. Also, guess the hands the regular and simp are are holding. (totals should include first two episodes total's, I'm guessing about 11 hands...)

O/U 23 hands

Regular 57s
Simp TQs
Board 6s 8s 2d 9s Js

Do flashbacks count, because I think there was a hand where Eddie lost with what looked like QQ against Matador's KK.

I know! That's what I love about poker... once you go pro, you never lose -- except when The Matador loses to a runner-runner perfect catch.

My favorite, though, was when The Matador's eyes perked up when Eddie pushed all-in on the river with the nut flush on an unpaired board. Granted, there was a backstory there... but it perpetuates the image that a good player always has the nuts and a bad player always catches a second-best hand.

Before the river came out, I was really hoping that the board would pair. Oh well. Damn random shuffling. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is interesting to me because they made it seem as if Eddie had been cheated out of his money. Unless The Matador stacks decks (which they haven't mentioned on the show)... QQ beating KK isn't necessarily influenced by knowing other players' hole cards. I guess we're supposed to assume that there was an ace or a paired board but Everest knew that all of those cards had been mucked by his cheats preflop...?

I'm taking the over, assuming headsup between regulars doesn't count, if a 3rd player beats both then it counts

Default I would add one other qualifier.

The regular isn't cheated.

So:
1) A regular loses to a non-regular
2) No cheatin' going on.
3) Not a flashback.

I'd give it five or six weeks. Or months.
