This propbet is that I, phasE89, can play 40,000 games of 6-max hyperturbo SnG's on PokerStars, starting 15th June 2012 at 0:00 Central European Time (CET) and ending 14th July 2012 at 23:59 CET. Odds are 2,5:1 in my favour and I'm looking to put up $20k in total to win $50k. I will be playing only $30 and higher buyins. I have to be profitable to win this bet, not including rakeback. I am allowed to play maximum of 25,000 games on $30 stakes (the rest will be on $100 stakes or whatever Stars add)
It will probably be even more difficult then my previous 24,000 Fifty50 SnG’s propbet, because I can not play lower stakes, I have just 30, not 31 days and it will probably take about 400+ hours to win this challenge, not 380. Plus, the edge in these is significantly lower, many regs are claiming than the games are already deadier then dead. I want to prove myself that I can make really insane propbets and be profitable in any game I want.
I will rent a nice villa with my girlfriend (also poker player) for the month, hopefully it will help to win my challenge.
Judge will be only one and his name is ... (I am looking for a judge right now)
Escrow's names are: ... (I am looking for as many reputable escrow as possible. If you want to help me, please PM me or write down to the comments)
Preamble: All disputes will be arbitrated by the judge selected for this prop bet. His goal will be to determine appropriate judgments based on the spirit of bet, over the minutiae of the language. I have every intention of following these rules as faithfully as possible and will abide by the official decision of the judge.
1. This propbet is that I, phasE89, can play 40,000 games of 6-max hyperturbo SnG's on PokerStars, starting 15.06.2012 at 0:00 Central European Time (CET) and ending 14.07.2012 at 23:59 CET. Every tournament finished after 14.07.2012 23:59 CET will not count into the propbet.
2. Odds are 2,5:1 in my favour.
3. Only $30 stakes and higher will count into the propbet. I can play maximum of 25,000 games on $30 stakes.
4. The bet will be void if my account is banned because of poker legislation in the Czech Republic.
5. The bet will be void if poker legislation in the Czech Republic means I am only able to play with players from the Czech Republic (similar to the situation with pokerstars.fr)
6. The bet will be void if PokerStars removes 6-max hyperturbo SnG's.
7. The bet will be void if PokerStars reduces the maximum number of sit and go tables that can be played at once to 23 or lower.
8. The bet will be void if there is a death to my close relatives.
9. Bettors cannot sit at my tables unless they are 6-max hyperturbo regulars. To avoid any confusion with this rule I will clearly state before the bet which bettors are not allowed to sit at my tables. Any bettor that breaks this rule will automatically lose their bet.
10. Bettors must provide their PokerStars screen name to myself and to the judge. Bettors screen names will not be public.
11. I will keep a live webcam stream open when playing in order to verify it is myself that is playing with the caveat that I will not be disqualified for accidental or technical problems with the webcam. If at any point my webcam or the host site stops working, any SnG's played will still count. Bettors will be given my phone number and can call me if this happens.
12. If I cannot play because PokerStars is down, the downtime will be added onto the end of the bet. I must post in this thread if I cannot play because PokerStars is down. I will then get the time between my post and when I start playing again added to the end of the bet. This is at the judges discretion.
13. Scheduled server restarts will not count into rule #12 only if total number of hours of scheduled restarts is 12 or lower. Any downtime over 12 hours will be added onto the end of the bet.
14. I must make a profit. If at the same moment I made a profit and I have played at least 40,000 games, I won this bet (e.g. if I play 40,000 games with a $10 profit and then play some more games and have -$50 loss, I still won)

I also played just over 2K games so far in 6-max hypers and I have not much time to prepare. I will play UKIPT Dublin, starting on 17th May and right after that I am going for 11 days to NYC.
Here is my graph from 6-max hypers and the total stats with 48% rakeback (I am SNE just from 2012):

you mean when PS is back as confirmed by Judges or 2+2 community??
In terms of volume, its 24-tabling ~ 9 hours/day. Obviously difficult but very much doable.
Profit is the key here obviously as ROI tends to fall quite a bit as you increase the number of tables you are playing. Very difficult to make profit pre-rakeback with this volume in hypers for sure. How many tables will you be playing?
