GREAT IDEA!!
But don't be surprised if the game ends early when two very big hands go up against each other (during NLHE).

Good luck!

My only question is, how did you estimate how long this will take? I realize the blinds are fixed at 25/50, but it's no limit heads up... I've never seen a heads up game last longer than 3-4 hours, because eventually both players are bound to hit high flushes or boats eventually. I guess if you kept it strictly pot limit it could take much longer.

* EDIT * Oops.. My bad... I was thinking of "quad_damage", not "Quads". If you think I'm insane, look here.

gw-

We are in "negotiations" on this now.....

I would say the "looser" would get up to at least his 5K back if the "winner" places high in the $$ at the tournies

My estimate is purely a WAG- based on how long it takes me to dump a hundred to him in another heads up session, or vis verse. Again, simply a WAG.

We wanted something that would run longer than a couple of sessions, so we upped the chip stacks (we were orig. at 10K, 25/50 blinds) and figured we could have the game done and over in possibly one long session or a weekend. (based on other sessions in Vegas, heads up tourneys, general play, etc.) So, deciding to up the stacks, and keep the blinds lower (stacks v. blinds = 600 BB's) we think we should run roughly 50 hours at a happy medium. It will be interesting to see.

And now for the chip pr0n:

There will be a total of 518 chips in play (between the two of us). Our stacks will start as follows:

Chip QuantityTotal Value
$25 X 100 = $ 2,500
$100 X 130 = $13,000
$500 X 29 = $14,500

Stack Total $ 30,000

Accounted for and locked up at the end of each game.



I've got an excel sheet that tracks us week by week and shows stacks / sizes / each denom qty at the end of each session, differential / etc.

Very nice! I need to stop looking at Chiptalk and get something done here. This is gonna be very interesting to keep up with.
