WVU/PO69 Sit-n-go Challenge thread @ fulltilt

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

I will playing 100 sit-n-gos in an effort to finish in the money in at least 50 of them. It will be hard, but WVU is offering me pretty good odds. I am putting up $100 and he is putting up $1000. I will the tournament number of each tourney here so it is easier to follow.

I really dont think that I will do this, but the odds are nice.

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

I hope to at least make a profit while tying to do this.

Anyway, here is my first attempt.

fulltilt #14680932 It is a 9 player table with buyin of $60. I need the top 3

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

bad start for me! No excuses allowed, but he just HAD to had trips! How do you want your money WVU??

wins = 0
losses = 1

Next tournaments is a 6 handed tourney that requires a win/place to get the money. It is a $33 buy in #14681442

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

Playing two at once right now

$33 buy in #14681811

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

wins = 0
losses =2

PO69 · Mar 10, 2007

Well shit!!!

wins = 0
losses = 3

I am switching too pokerstars after today! I hate sit-n-gos, but WVY gave some GREAT odds on this bet. The odds for a great player should be around 3 to 1.

Or at least a great sit-n-go player

Tough challenge, neither of us will do it, Im sure.

We should make a side bet for who cashes in more for maybe half ir all of what we are going to owe WVU. Up to you though since I already have two under my belt. Let me know though

WVU · Mar 10, 2007

you are way off on your 3-1 odds. With average being 33 cashes, 50 is going to be difficult for even the best players.

Either way good luck. Someone has to get close or no one will want to take challenge. If you cash anwhere 40+ it would be impressive

the problem with this challenge is that playing optimal sit and go strategy will not result in cashing as much as you could with a weaker strategy. The optimal strategy to win this bet, is not optimal strategy for maximizing your money in the games themselves. You need to win tournaments to make money, not limp into the money. This is why I opted to not take the challenge. Didn't want to set my game back by playing poorly and also don't need the attention, like some others might.

PO69 · Mar 11, 2007

Well it only takes one guy out of every 10 to get this done to throw away all of WVU's profits. It can be done, its not an impossible challenge. I have 6 cashes out of 14 so far, so Im in the game. I actually pissed a couple games away on Saturday playing when I shouldnt have. Ill be close, I guarantee that.
