Ye ok winning a WSOP bracelet is the biggest thing in poker if your a tourny player, but Durr ground out starting at 10nl and worked his way up through the limits and after 3 years is now at the highest limt. I don't think you can achieve anything bigger in cash
i think phil ivey said it best there is a good chance someone will go broke..phil said that at those stakes its easy for someone to lose 5-10 million so i think it is a very risky challenge...and as for durrr losing someone said that it wouldnt be hard for him to get staked i would rather keep my money and my profits...so well see if it goes down
just listen to the phone call between barry g and phil ivey.........
i think phil ivey would crush durrr....just because ivey is used to gambling huge....i mean can you imagine playing 50k-100k blinds cash game well ivey can and did,when he play andy beal so i think durrrr will go busto
umm what? Look at this again: http://www.pokertableratings.com/overview/durrrrAll the poker sites (ie,highstakesdb) shows him winning and LOSING just about the same amount.
umm no offense, but I'm pretty sure you don't understand what playing well/poorly is at that level. I'll take that back if you've played at railhaven before or even only like $100/$200 or so.I have watched him for hours (while I'm playing) and seen him play poorly. He's not Superman, he's not the greatest in the game right now. He's an online guy who's doing well and has everyone riding his success.
Look at the tableratings page again. Look at durrrr's second best friend (ie won the second most money from). That's right, ziigmund. In fact he's almost down a million. http://www.pokertableratings.com/overview/ZiigmundHe puts out an ego challenge that gives everyone 3 to 1 and Ivey will take that cash from someone who thinks he's the greatest thing going right now.
Why doesnt anyone talk about Zig? He wins just as much. He's a GREAT cash game player but yet, people still talk about Dwan.
As for this gem....
"biggest lol saved for your last comment.

I will bet any amount of money that If you ask any pro player would they rather be known as a great cash player or someone who won a lot of WSOP Titles, they would say WSOP.
Damn that's challenge hope i can see it
when is it taking place ?
or what ?
i think 4 cause bleachbum is suspected to be guy and u cant forget noataima from 2007the best fact is that the 3 biggest losers, are all guy laliberte's accounts
+1I really doubt that, at least today. The WSOP ME especially has thousands and thousands of entrants. Even the best player in the entire world would probably only cash once in a thousand at BEST. Harrington described big tournaments as lotteries where the better players and pros get more tickets. So you're saying they'd rather be remembered as winning a lottery than winning in cash games against the best players around? Yeah, sure.
50k HANDS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN AN AFTERNOON!
sorry for the caps.....
This actually says it even a little better (all time winners since they started tracking).umm what? Look at this again: http://www.pokertableratings.com/overview/durrrr
Only caveat is he is excluding Phil Galfond (OMGClayAiken) from the challenge.
Umm, yes...Durrr and OMGClayAiken pretty much crush the top live poker pros at the high stakes games at FT.
Will this match be aired on TV? I would be interested in watching.

It seems to me that the actual bet is rather negligible, as over 50k hands someone may well be up or down many millions at those stakes.
Someone could lose 3million in the games, and then be forced to pay up their share of the bet too. Someone may have a very bad day at the end of it.
lol wat?
firstly Durr doesn't really give a shit about bracelets since he isnt a tourny player, he goes to the wsop to crush the side games.
i doubt he cares as much about the money as the bracelets, when he does enter these things
he could make that much money staying at home, playing the nosebleeds online, so something drives him to fly around the world playing in nerve racking donkaments
doubt it about the last part, during wsop time the online nosebleeds will be empty, so the side games at the wsop are where the nosebleed cash players go
