Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies have played some nice $500/$1,000 PLO heads-up sessions lately at Full Tilt Poker. In Dwan's recent blog entry, he tells a little about these wild games.
In the last match the two players decided to bump it up to $3,000/$9,000, meaning that it would cost each player $9,000 just to see a flop.
Dwan says that the game was "retardedly huge game", and both of them should probably be playing at least a little bit smaller:
"Been awake a while, and played a ton in the last 3 days. I had a pretty awful week of poker before that, where i lost about $1.9m- mainly to ziigmund, but in the last week i’ve managed to recoup those losses. I’d like to think that the losses had a good amount to do with some bad luck, but i know the wins definitely had to do with good luck.
I played ilari at 500/1k where we had to raise and reraise every hand- so before any option the small blind makes it 3k, and the big blind makes it 9k. This is obviously a retardedly huge game, and both of us should probably be playing at least a little bit smaller. I managed to win about 800k at 3/9 tho- so it worked out this time."
