Padraig bets Alex Martin $10,000 he can beat the .25/.50 game!

ok, i just played 7k hands of 50nl. Winrate, 1.2bb/100. The games are riddled with shortstacks and nits with very few fish.

This would be a great bet if someone was interested. I am sure Padraig is a great player but i doubt he would have the skills to beat this game. A 200nl player with a 3bb/100 winrate would be a -0.5bb/100 loser at 50nl after increased rake if his game was identical but scaled down on ipoker (thanks Keys/2+2). Lump on Dubai.

 

Do you mean if his winrate stayed the same?

Since 200nl is harder to beat a 3bb/100 winrate there could translate to a 6 or 7+ bb/100 winrate at 50nl.

superb bump. met him and it was pretty awkward, really nice guy and obviously a super talented live player respected by almost everyone and a great laugh tbh. that being said i still think the way 6max 50nl is nowadays id be happy to give this a whirl at evens

padraig is hilarious and one of the true entertainers of live "tv" poker. ok maybe he has fell behind the way poker has changed but for people to attack his ability is ridic....did he not make the f/t of the 1999 wsop m/e....win a LNP series too...aswell as many other decent results, over $1.6 million in recorded live winnings is a great achievement.....whilst being totally pissed aswell lol.

  gl to him is all i say

LOL.

I'd give him 2/1 on beating 50NL. No doubt he's a nice guy, but he isn't good at poker.

Willing to halves with Alex on the bet. Not putting up 10k myself. Especially not the way Karl is skinting me atm.

However, I'd want to know that he's playing every single hand himself.
