There are alot of cell phones you can hack to activate tethering and have free wireless anywhere with them. I speed tested my wifes sprint palm pre and I got 2mbps down and about .5up. It works pretty good if I ever needed to play for a backup. I know you can also do this with the iphone and googles android phone as well as probably alot of others.

Re: ***HU SNG REGS THREAD***

As you guys seem so confident I can't do it, I'll only bet a grand, split it up anyways you want.

I'm happy to do without an escrow with the reg guys on here, but if you all want me to escrow of course I'll do it.

I'll start afresh tomorrow with game 1.

A few extra rules:

Chops don't count.

Only $115 turbos count.

I have until the end of October to complete the 1000 games otherwise I lose.

Agreed?

Some random thoughts:

1. The regs are a bunch of whiny bastards. No, I don't know who you are and I don't use sharkscope so I won't avoid sitting against you. However, ask me civilly and politely not to play you and I will respect that.

2. Having said that, many of the regs at 115 are super solid and really should step up at least to 220 and probably higher. They must be life nits to play so low when they are clearly talented enough to play way higher.

3. The big difference in the play is the fish. The bad players at 500+ are not all that bad, but the bad players at 115 are truly woeful. With good game selection I reckon a good player could easily expect a ROI of 20%, which obv is about the same as a 5% ROI at 500 with far less variance. Food for thought here.

4. Not nearly so many railbirds so play is relatively peaceful and much speedier.
You gotta include rakeback. 0% ROI at $570 is at least $8/game more like $12/game if you go for SNE.

20% ROI at $115 is something like $23/game, so like a 2.5% ROI at $570.

But yea, I had a similar experience to you that the play at $115 is pretty atrocious compared to higher. I'd disagree though that the regs are super solid. Some might be. Maybe just none would sit with me .

I think it's $500 to win 250 fwiw, camel is willing to risk 1000. I know Ekko wants in as well, so we can either all do $666 to win 333 or $500 to win $250 and there needs to be one more person

Re: ***HU SNG REGS THREAD***

Oh, yea, I'll put up like 8-10k at 2:1 that you can't run >20% ROI over 2000 games at $115 only. I need a time component though like everyone else. It's pretty much just because I think 20% is doable/easy if you game select and one-table, but that's just stupid. I think the spirit of the bet is to see if you can make as much multitabling $115 as you would playing higher and so I would want you to be constantly 3-4 tabling. So there'd need to be a time component or at least a "Scout's Honor" clause.

I'm The Camel on Stars too.

I'm happy for no escrow with Primo and nathan, but I don't really know ekko or jennabax, so are you two ok with an escrow?
