Upping the Ante April 12, 2009

After 6 hands of the bet, Josh has offered to up the stakes to $500. He is feeling confident because he is consistently playing more hands than I am.

I still feel I have an edge and will win. Honestly I make very few mistakes single dummy, and so far have been running well below par. Josh may play more hands, but I think his play suffers as a result. It will be a good fight.

We have a link up that shows the results so far. I am down 2 dollars, and am averaging about 500 points less per tourney.

The reason I only played 13 hands in the first tournament is that I got disconnected for several minutes. It looks like Josh will average 24 hands a tournament while I will only average 20, so I will need to play very well!

Hard to take sides on this one. Will be following with interest.

This is hard, there are multiple strategies in total points, I have played in somewhere i actually stopped playing after 6 or 7 boards.
You can often tell by the change in the leaderboard if vul game or slam hands are coming up and just bid them in order to stay in front.
It is going to be a fun contest. Good Luck

Does josh play that many more hands, or does he also pass them out more often?

It’s both. Also my average is skewed because I got disconnected and only got 13 on one of them. I think my average is like 20 to his 24, and probably a little over 1 more passout per tourney for him.
