Youtube video of setup/bet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOoFGttg3Q4

I am currently at 340k VPPs and have to get SNE by the end of the year playing Pot Limit Omaha. 50% of my play needs to come at PLO100 and below which means I will end up playing 12-16 hours a day 24 tabling and anywhere from 400-600k hands/month aka no life for the rest of 2011.


I got 3-1 odds on this, my $15,000 to his $45,000. Also if successful I stand to make about $90,000 from the Pokerstars VIP Milestones/Bonuses and hitting SNE.



Some people are going to ask me why in the **** I would want to do this. Well I like a good endurance/volume challenge and this sure is a helluva one. Also the guaranteed money from SNE and the prop bet is way more then I would make game selecting/playing less tables the next few months so it makes sense to give this a shot.


Only stipulation is if I get kicked out of Canada for whatever reason then the bet is off. If i lose more then $90,000 playing at the tables I have to quit poker and move back home and get a real job. No webcam as we live together so he will be able to see its me playing


Will be posting more updates on my blog with vids and other random stuff



Should be fun times
how it is possible to be an sne in october @340K vpp??? ah relocated, ok gl

Just finished up my 12 hours/7k vpp for the day, was stuck about 500 and decided to full stack last session, prob was a good call.

The upswing early in the graph is when I full stacked to end my first session as well, to much thinking involved in doing that though

Thanks for posting about online dating chicagojoey, I know a good amount about it, but it's always interesting to read new stuff / different perspectives.

My Online Dating History: PART 1
I once did an online dating challenge where I tried to go on 30 dates in 30 days and posted it on 2+2 forums with pics/vids and trip reports of what happened.
What was even your strategy for this challenge?

Were you spam messaging? Sending 100 messages a day?
Then did you double or even triple book dates for the same day (In case of a girl flaking on you)?

Very interesting stuff.

Hey, I had a random thought, you have so much energy in videos when describing your prop bets. You should take that energy, camera presence, and market products to make mad $$$.

CJ,

i saw your vid a few days ago and im pretty sure you were using a PS3 controller to 24-table? im thinking of making the switch from a wireless mouse to a controller but from from everything ive read it seems like most who MMT dont find the controller to be nearly as good as a mouse. whats the main reaosn youre using a controller?

What happens if you fail to make SNE? You're going to be down on the prop bet, and down from poker. The way it looks, you're ****ed if you don't do it. On the bright side, if you make it you should have a bit of change left from the $45k after accounting for your losses at the tables.

jfc, you are a machine, 15k+ hands a day is completely ridiculous. I love how amped up you were in the vid, cracked up pretty hard at the part where you talk about what you're going to buy with the $ if you win (DRUGS! HOOKERS!)

Hey, I had a random thought, you have so much energy in videos when describing your prop bets. You should take that energy, camera presence, and market products to make mad $$$.

Typically when I get back into online dating i'll browse a bunch of profiles and look for something that jumps out in their interests/profile that I could turn into a quick message so I'll message about 10 girls and usually get like an 80% roi. Also I usually get a few messages from random girls of all shapes and sizes .

For that challenge I did that and had an extremely high roi on my first messages sent so it was pretty easy and I set the dates up well enough that flaking is pretty rare. I think ive been out with maybe 20-30 girls and never had anything like that happen. I gave up the challenge after about 10-11 days because I was missing poker (was still addicted then) and started to really like one of the girls.

If you know anyway to set that last part up let me know lol because I don't

also, i kind of doubt the legitimacy of your bet with ballcup/starluck or whatever. i highy doubt he would bet against you in a bet like this knowing your history and how much you have to lose if you dont make it. seems like the bet might not be real but rather more of a action-starter sort of the way a homeless guy throws a dollar into his own jar just to get the action going.

i know youre a stand up dude and have an honest rep around here and i like you but thats my read f the situation. could be wrong obv. maybe he has a much smaller piece of action or maybe he really really just doesnt think you can do it lol whatever.

Its a logitech controller with same layout as a ps3 controller. I've used it a bit during playing but it seems like I lose a bunch of focus while using it and it makes table changing if a new good one opens harder. I enjoy using it in like 20 minute spurts but still getting used to it. If I had a controller during my NL full ring volume prop bets then it would have made it like way easier because you don't really need as much focus when reading 2 cards/board textures and can kinda lay back and just grind out the hands

From 300k-1mill its about 95k also in rakeback so if I do fail, I will get pretty damn close and make a majority of that either way.

I said that in my first video for my 50k hands in a day prop bet and it helped get me to the win so I had to stick with what worked for me in the past lol, hooker stole watch though so prob should stay away from the hookers this time around

I have no additional action on the side, bunch of other people have booked action though for/against me with separate parties


ballcup makes enough money 2 tabling high stakes on random euro sites and wants to see me get my ass in gear enough to make the bet. hes a good friend
