Default Accepting Daniel\'s Odds

Just repeating what I said on another thread that I would play Daniel, at the Wynn, accepting his ten percent rebate offer, if he will play for $10,000. Eight or Better Stud. 150-300, $25 ante, $50 bring in. No media publicity. Will play a second game at least, if I win the first.

This is not a challenge or even really an offer. Just a statement of fact. I expect Daniel will only consider playing to satisfy his curiosity. Without big money or publicity, its otherwise irrelevant to him.

And to those who think the 10-9 negates a significant skill difference, I also offered to LAY those same odds (10K to 9 K playing the same game) to anybody (other than Daniel) who criticized me (up to this point of course) on any of the threads involving this subject.

David I will happily take 5K of your action against Negreanu via FedEx'd cash or cashier's check getting 11:10, hassle free to you (no phone calls, cash in and go home or cash out). I am not wealthy or I would back the whole deal. It would be nice if you could hold it June 18-25 when I will be in Vegas but that's not critical.

As for your heads-up challenge, your tie is crooked (criticism criteria met), and would you play heads up pot limit or no limit holdem?

A suggestion: If you ever decide to do a little promotion, offering heads up matches for smaller stakes to 2+2ers would be well received here. Even at $3,000 you'd get a lot of interest and we'd all enjoy following the games. I'm sure there are people on here who could set up webcasting too.

Best of luck.

Matt

If Matt Flynn and David Sklansky both tell me they honostly believe getting 11:10 is a +EV bet in this game, you can count me in for 5k as well. I'll be in vegas on and off throughout June, so I can probably be there when the match is played with cash in hand.

Mr Sklansky, I dont know if you and your followers here are aware of the fact that the $10,000 is a few BB in Daniels regular game. I think the fact that these people are willing to stake you for the $$ is hilarious. The saying goes if it does not hurt it is not worth playing for. I am sure you dont need the $$ I think you just want to play to show you can beat Daniel.
Thank you for your time and I mean no disrespect.

Being that the last match lasted over 10 hours. Why would Daniel want to spend 10 hours playing to win 10,000 dollars when that is like one big bet in his 4000- 8000 game. Thats like me playing for 10 hours in hopes to win $20
