| No. They're paying $1500 in blinds every 2 hands at the $500/$1000 level. Thus, $300K would be eaten up after folding 200 hands. He would need $1.5 million in order to fold every hand and still be up. No way this would happen though, because it is an extremely -EV way to play. Also, PA is as much of an action junkie as durrr is. |

They're playing 200/400 for the challenge...
And if the OP's math is right, for a million bucks, I wouldn't worry about my form. Fold away... |

patrik doesn't care about 1 million
he cares about image so he will play hard until the match is over. |

| I agree that, from the limited amount I know about Antonius, it would surprise me if he would fold to the win, even if it was the prudent financial course of action. |

Do you think they'll make a deal at that point, then? I mean, sure Antonius is probably one of the more competetive pros out there, but he can play durrr at the highest limits whenever he wants. He took this challenge to win the 1.5 million vs his .5 million. That is the goal. That is the point of making and accepting these challenges.
It doesn't matter anyway... durrr's going to win... in about 2 years when this whole thing finally wraps up... |
