    Trying to set up some type of contest between myself and my backer, but he plays high stakes, and i play low- mid stakes, and ideas on how to set it up to level the playing field? Obv plb won't work since it's based on prizepool

    Any ideas?

    still can't fathom that either of those is a fair bet when fields are 10x as small in higher stakes stuf...

    set up a series of mid stakes tourneys you can both play over a period of time like the 55 daily ninety grand or something similar. do 25 or whatever over the course of a month. he can squeeze a few of those in.

    pick like 10-20 midstake tourns a week that you both play.

    or, you could always do a 180 man or 45 man contest.. you play low, he plays high.. thru 100 games or so.

    i agree with riverh and gags. you got to play the same games to be a 'fair contest'.

    and why not just battlin HU in sngs ? the result will mean more to my eyes.

    ask jshark4 what he did between him and Jrisk, it was a similar contest that landed him at McDonalds..... but I know they dont play the same level so something had to be set up.

    Best average placement? Best ITM percentage? (yeah, I know ITM is a terrible MTT statistic...I'm just brainstorming here)

    Why not some combination of ROI and volume?

    we decided on total PLBs for $20-$30 FOs, $5r and 10 cubed...

    this will hopefully keep us motivated to grind
