GL subbed. Down with the haters. Good challenge for relatability.

Just because OP is in the top 1% of players doesn't mean that microstakes players won't be able to relate. The skillset required to beat micros at a rate similar to what his will be can be learned relatively quickly. (Relative to the learning curve for mid-high stakes). If this were an RPG and Polk is a level 15 microstakes player, joe shmoe could get to level 14 without the years of experience that Polk has and achieve $100-$10k as well. No triple range merges or 9bet bluffing the turn required.

It takes years of experience, studying, etc... to build a skill set similar to Doug`s.You might teach someone to beat a certain stake but never for the same wr and in the same fashion as a long time world class player.

Doug, is there a reason you're not answering this question. I'm sure you saw it as 3+ people asked.

He answered it on twitter. He won't reload, it would just be challenge over.

Hey guys,

I am willing to bet that Doug will be able to complete this challenge (turn 100$ into 10,000$) and am willing to wager on it. I would like 3-1 (my 100 to your 300). If interested please PM me.

Thanks.

its just a challenge, not a prop bet or anything so he really doesn't need to answer any questions. Just let him post here in peace and hopefully it will turn into a good read.

He answers every other question so I was curious. I'm sure me asking a question is going to make him not try to get attention on his brand. Should think before you post.

And are you so arrogant to think that any question you ask will have any effect at all on how much attention he gets? If he was really trying to market himself he would make a prop bet and try to generate as much interest as possible. I mean after all it's not like something like this hasn't been done before, remember Boku87? So quit trying to come across like he is trying to avoid a certain question and just enjoy the show.

I somehow missed this post, but the other person is correct. If I lose the $100, it is BR challenge over.

Doug, I assume your taking some serious action on this to make it worthwhile. What odds are you taking for finishing in a month? Two months?

Edit: you answered in twitch chat nvm Thanks!

As someone who started after Black Friday and never got to enjoy the poker boom I'm excited to be around for a potential classic in the making

Upswingpoker is a 6max nhl coaching site yet Doug is trying to run it up playing Hu. Go figure.

The stream is still live. Current bankroll is approximately $98 but upswinging. "We're on our way back home," Doug said on-stream a few moments ago.
