Daniel N challenges anyone to a HU match.

From DN's blog:

"The terms of my arrangement at the Wynn are private and the details of my arrangement have been grossly misrepresented in several internet newsgroups."

I think it's pretty clear that DN didn't specify how the high/low was set up. It's neither my nor Sklansky's problem if DN's prop betting skills are lacking. You would probably say that GoT didn't owe ED anything in the Weboggle fiasco.

Last post on this subject:

1. Daniel didn't mention a qualifier. I suspected it was an oversight but wasn't sure. Hi-Lo without a qualifier is still sometimes played and it is the game my chapter is about in Doyle's first book. I believe it is the best poker chapter ever written and so do many others. So I thought Daniel might like the idea of playing the guy who even Doyle considers the authority on the subject.

2. I have virtually no experience heads up. Daniel should be a small favorite over me in the less technical games. In the more technical games such as single draw lowball, game theory should negate any psychological edge he might have.

3. For me to flip a coin for 100K someone would have to lay me 130-100.

4. I have to retract my earlier statement that extra publicity would make a close gamble worth it to me. That is still true. The problem is that it would be inappropriate for me to do something that the Wynn hotel could use for their benefit. Nothing at all against them. It's just that the Bellagio has generously let their casino be the one to put my game WPT All IN HOLDEM on their floor for the Nevada Gaming Commission's 90 day trial. So it would be extremely ungrateful for me to be a major part of any media event for a different hotel. Had that not slipped my mind, I wouldn't have even made my original offer.

5. I am willing to play the follwing headup game with Daniel if it is not used to publicize a non MGM hotel. Stud 8/B. $200 ante, $300 bring in. $500-$1000, $40,000 freezeout. He lays me 50,000 to 40,000. I have no reason to think he would take this deal but it is definite on my part. If he wants to double the stakes I expect I can sell half of myself. I offer this proposition only to set in stone a game that I would absolutely play. That doesn't mean I wouldn't entertain other propositions.

Dear God this is horribly entertaining. Does this mean I would probably like professioanl wrestling?
