I've already said I'd bet, but probably depends on a few things:

I think it should be actual $. 100k hands is plenty to slow the variance from your point of view, and less verifiable via PTR for those who don't know you as well.

Also, being able to vary the stakes is a big advantage. You could, say, start off at 5-10, run well the first 20k or 30k hands while fresh and then drop down to 2-4. Or run bad and jump to 10-20 and the odd 25-50 game running. I can see why you need more tables for volume reasons, but ATM there's like 30 400nl 6max games running on FT. It's 11am ET on a Tuesday. So, I think the stakes should be 400nl min to 600nl max.

My mate Chris is up betting ~$5k depending on T&C as well.

Yep, not interested in this or any other 'prop' betting, whatever that may be, doesn't seem that special anyway if other like-minded guys have done 50% of this in one day. Not sure what the epic bit is in the thread title....tedious prop bet would be more fitting. Don't see the point

EPIC is a matter of opinion something you might think is epic I might think is shit and vica versa and we're both entitled to that, also, if your not interested, dont bet or post. Just dont see the point in people randomly de-railing stuff like this, bit rude imo

Ah, you're allowed an opinion and I'm not? Seems fair. If you don't want others to pass comment I would sort out your epic bloke sits by his pc all week bet privately. Out of interest, if you think it's epic to play 100,000 hands in a week how would u describe the guy's achievement of playing 50k in one day?

I would call that epic. lol
Listen I didnt want to be rude, ofc your opinion is valid - personally i dont really care about the bet (i do not intend to bet myself) I just said id post it for franky. I just dont like it when people try and de-rail stuff for no reason.
