Doyle does have a 50 year head start.

lol don't think so?

I"m kind of getting sick of doyle always talking about how he has played more hands than anyone

I don't think he realizes HOW many hands he'd have to play live in order to keep up with an online pro...

even if durrrrrrrrr only played 1000 hands an hour.... which he probably gets in more... and he only played 40 hours a week... which he probably plays more .... that maneas he plays 40,000 a week

that would only take him 25 weeks to reach 1 million hands.....

Doyle plays live and probably 35 hands an hour at a fast table...assuming 40 hours a week that would take doyle 714 weeks to play 1 million hands

so as someone said before... it can't even possibly be close...

For argument's sake....

If you were to ignore all hands folded pre-flop/ sat out (which I know you shouldn't) and only consider hands the player has actively participated in, this would probably improve Doyle's claim.

I still think Doyle doesn't appreciate the huge volume some of these online pros put in. There will be some, Derek8, Shaundeeb etc. who will dwarf Durrrr's numbers.

thats just from ftp and they only just started tracking all games

and it would make more sense that somebody that multis 20 tables for 30-40hrs a week would easily have doyles numbers crushed in a year or so. doyle prolly plays 20-30hands an hour live. even if he averaged 25hands an hour for 40hrs a week for 50 years...... thats only 2.6mil hands.......and he prolly hasn't played that many. online grinders... 60hands an hour 20tables 40hrs or 1 year............2.496mill. in just one year.

The only thing with this is can the dudes nut hunting 24 tabling actually play good poker in cash/mtts? Cuz it's different when ur just playing AA and KK to make profit. Not saying those 24 table grinders are bad, just food for thought.

durrr will play 12+ tables of 200/400 if there are enough games running, he cannot play with competition this good and win while only nut hunting. also, if you want to consider "good poker" then you should probably take into account the fact that durrr is the laggiest player of all time and makes great bluffs, thin value bets and big folds all at the right times.

the figures that everyone seems to be using to calculate durrr's number of hands are way off, he is never 20 tabling for 40 hours a week. however durrr would still have played far more hands even having only played 12 tables like 20 hours a week on average over his career.

durrrr is about to play 150k hands in the next 3-4 months just in his challenge. It would probably take doyle 3 years to see that in his prime, nowadays who knows how long.

lets get this out of the way first, durrr has probably played more then 7million hands. keep in mind that he grinded his way up through the limits to get where he is, over the last 4.5-5 years.

second, there is no way doyle has averages 8 hours/day over the past 50 years. maybe at first he played long hours on most days, but like everyone else, i am sure he has trailed off a bit.

Durrrr has played more hands, and I guarantee it's not even CLOSE.
