Thanks mate! Stay tuned

That only happens to other people, not to me

I will. I owe it to the thread, and to you guys! You know it's crazy but this making this thread and seeing you guys digging it has totally put a smile on my face

More pics will follow.

Stars SN is NeverWasBeen, 25 cents is 25 cents more than I have atm, thankyou

Sucks to hear you're running bad mate. There's plenty of sorry stories in here, everyone is getting slowly deeper into the red, with the exception of the guy in Bed 1 who won that $48.

No muff in here. Every morning I awaken with a hard on so brutal it could burst and I have a friggin nurse standing over me sticking ECG dots on my chest with her warm hands... True torture haha

Hahaha. I'd string pill him till he puked and forcefeed him one of our plastic lunches

Cheers Deuce, stay tuned!

Haha, gears in my head are cranking and lightbulbs are burning.....

1:46am, probs gonna try and sleep now, but will update first thing in morning, keep your posts coming!

In before Ashton Kutcher comes in on day 42 and lets OP know he was punked and gets no $.

post pics of hot nurses itt and will ship a few dollars on party poker!

we'd have to make this thread 6 stars, somehow

Great stuff OP, I did this myself for a week in my 2nd year at uni, got £800 for it plus free meals etc. Only did it the once though, primarily because I thereafter discovered cigarettes and recreational chemicals and in 99% of these clinical trials, they require non-druggies and non-smokers

but yeah it's easy money - also, even mine was in London, the vast majority of subjects in my trial were aussies, kiwis and south Africans. Any reason you can think of for this??

only 42 days

will ship money first thing in morning
good luck !

5*, pics of nurseboob and will ship my entire 4fig star roll to you.

OP you are my hero for today, great read. Shipped $10 to you on Tilt for making my day thanks.

Thread is nice! Although I am concerned some scum of the earth might recognize the hospital or the OP and report him to them... or a nurse discover this thread on his laptop... and he somehow be out his 8k for his hard work. (Or, you could say, easy work, if this is your type of thing, I don't think I would do this)

You should be happy to live in a diverse society where people from all around the world congregate. I hope you're not just making some crude national implications

Wow, freaking awesome! This is like a well for degens

What stakes do you plan to play after you get the paycheck OP?
What's your biggest regret out of this, or do you think such an experience can be good for you....also do you regret starting on pokers
And the last....any chance of your spine recovering ?

Edit : Ok this is last, I forgot : did you try to flirt with the nurses, maybe there's a chance one lonely nurse will give in...you never know amirite

5* from me too btw

wow gl with this OP. Don't go crazy near the end. Is there any way you can still get out if you do? Also do they give you any fun drugs?

Couldn't sleep with all the snoring, couldn't resist the temptation to refresh this thread on my phone...

Am now in another room that has air conditioner blazing, noisy but much better than having to endure what sounds like people dying. Can't believe all these awesome posts and people actually sending me $$!!! I'm going to try and respond to all people that take the time to wish me well.



Yeah I thought I might have been rejected from this study because of drinking and the occasional drag on a smoke/joint but luckily I made it through. And getting adequate meals provided free is definately not to be sneezed at, and for all the bagging I give it I don't mind the food at all

TYVM!

Hahaha... nurseboob... gold. I'd say that is impossible, but hell, what fun would that be?

I kinda worry about this too but I'm gonna go with the hope that no-one would feel the need to ruin this. This thread and you guys are making my day here. They wouldn't go through my laptop. Biggest danger would be if like, 25 days in I get all safari hunter and try to take snapshots of the nurses bending over or something

Awesome questions.

I have mixed feelings about what to do when I get my money. Part of me wants to have that 5k bankroll that I've dreamed of so I can play the stakes that I would take seriously (because I've degened around at 50c/$1 and $1/$2, it's hard for me to play correctly within my BR when facing a 3bet of 19 cents. My fault for starting out with no BRM)... on the other hand I feel like it would be idiotic considering what I allowed to happen to my savings. I'm going to think about this one.

I don't really regret anything. I am where I am and there are good things. This doesn't mean that I don't recognize the stupidity of my actions or that I haven't learnt from my mistakes. There are many positives about being here andhaving this opportunity. 42 days with no alcohol is a 10 year first for me, and I love it, even if I'm only like two weeks sober. I'm riding 10km's on the exercise bike EVERY DAY THAT I CAN WHILE IN HERE at an average speed of 40kmph in around 15-16 minutes depending on the level of resistance, because I really believe that one of the biggest factors for my mental wellbeing is being fit, so I am determined to achieve that. It's hard though because I'm not allowed to do this, so I have to wait until the day staff go home and I can take advantage of the ignorance of the night staff.

I don't regret poker. I am frustrated that I have made such a mess of it, but I'm accepting how inevitable it all really was, considering that I expected to play calm and rationally when there was nothing calm or rational about my life. I love PLO and I think it's a great game, extremely frustrating at times but I love it.

My physiotherapist believes that my spine will heal, as long as I stick to my schedule (I have a whole list of stretches and things I have to do daily). After the bike while I'm cooling down I do these before showering. Unfortunately I rely on a lil luck to be able to do any of this at all, as intensive days forbid it pretty much.


Hahaha, yeah I'm a little guilty at ******ed attempts at flirting with them. Most of them are so reserved but there is one that has shown me brief glimpses of her true personality, too bad she's happily married eh? There's still time though, there's still time...

GOD when you apply for these studies they ask "Do you drink?" "Do you smoke?" "Do you take drugs?" They should ask "DO YOU SNORE?!?"

Thanks man. I'll be alright, if I didn't go crazy losing everything I won't go crazy in here, not while you guys are keeping my spirits up

Had to be a fit and healthy male between the ages of 18-45. Non smoker, drink less than 10 units of booze a week, be drug free etc. And (and this was the one that got most people) Had to have an everage pulse rate of 65 or over. Anythign other got you rejected. It was tough because 65 is higher than most, and was set as such because of the tendency of the drug to lower pulses. Luckily some of us knew that this could be achieved in a variety of ways, like tensing your legs and sucking short bursts of breath to raise your heartrate hehe. 8k baby, we don't muck around :P

Haha, the best part is I'm almost insane in the membrane enough to do it

Eight grand.

Hahaha yeah I've thought about that. Oddly enough I think that these lads possess the mentality that being on 2+2 would be like OMG I'M OBSESSED WITH TEH POKERZ AND AM A LOOZER. Which is ridiculous considering the fact that several of them are playing ALL F*CKING DAY. When this thread broke I wanted to tell them but I kinda felt a lil wierd and wanted to keep it to myself, like my own lil project, at least for now. I'm struggling as it is to keep up with all the posts and answer all the questions, it's be too hard with them hassling me, throwing things at me, kicking the footy and knocking over the test tubes by my bed (true story :P)

It's legal. Somehow. Guess it's just an invisible part of the whole medicine thing. They pay, and it's tax free. There's big money in this, that much I do know.

What were the main requirements you had to meet in the screening process to be accepted in the experiment? are you a smoker? have asthma? any other ilness'?

Please OP do a 8K to 100K 42 day plo challenge when you receive your maneys!

sorry if it has been asked allready - how much $ do you get for the 42 days ?

lol i was just thinking before that your in with a bunch of other poker degens on laptops who are bored. You reckon one of them will see your thread? Surely if they browse 2+2 they'll see this 5 star thread in BBV read the title and go "holy **** no way! thats just like me!!!"

He has to pay them

GL OP

Sorry for nitting the thread up but I can't imagine how this kind of thing is legal in AUS and UK.

Holy ****, it's King Niche

So what are the possible side effects and risks of the drugs you are taking.

I for one would never risk my health for a mere 7k. You are there for 42 days right?

Why didnt you just get a job?

OP, please use the multi-quote option

That's what we're finding out. Yes, 42 days.

My back injury prevents: Manual labor, sitting.
My physiotherapist recommends: Laying down.

Was not difficult to see that this was perfect for me.

Haha yes, have been meaning to learn how to do this. I'm not a very experienced 2+2er

On that not will try again to sleep. 3:17, will be woken up in around 4 hours for blood pressure and vitals. See you soon!

omg i am emotionally impressed.

i wish u the best! gl @ life
