I'll make you a bet

"So I guess what I'm saying is that the $5-5 blind PLH game plays in such a way, with such predictable steal opportunites in the range of $10 to $30 profit per steal, that a sufficiently motivated player could tread the prescribed $400 range for quite a while. That's all."


This is an interesting challenge. Enough steal opportunites to cover the expense of playing, as Ray pointed out?


I wanted you to straddle to add more of a test of your abilities at disipline - to counter somewhat the 2 to 1 odds on the money. $2000 for twenty hours? This is about half of what you expect to make at this game if you played "straight up". Not a bad win rate.


If you "know" most of the players or their playing style, and are in a tight and somewhat predictable game this could be accomplished by a number of people. Mmmmm - I am not sure of this last statement. I think many people would disagree. Good thing we are not talking seriously about the money.

"$2000 for twenty hours? This is about half of what you expect to make at this game if you played "straight up"."


Really? Did you mean "double" instead of "half?" If I understand you right, you're saying the expected earn is $4000 in 20 hours. That's $200 per hour. In a game that only has a few $200 pots per hour, that'd be quite a trick.

Well no- I mean that you are willing to put up $1000 for 20 hours of staying within a $400 swing. I was just assuming that under "Normal circumstances" you may be able to make $1000 in 20 hours of play. But this is getting off track.

As Gilda use to say on Saturday Night Live -


Oh - Never Mind.

Are they really that passive? Are the baby pot steal opportunities that common and that much of a slam dunk? You must be in heaven!

If I am allowed to sit on your left and play the same 20 hours with you it cannot be done! Do you understand why?

Ah shucks....I was so looking forward to winning that bet...Ha, LOL....
