Probably a general lack of intelligence

i think its possible but I am too bad for that but i guess i could maybe do something like 100 to 5000 or so.
for a better player its possible but super hard because of the capped max buy in

CLIFFNOTES: Given sheer volume of tournaments played, 7k tournaments averaging $8/tourney, it's pretty much impossible to cheat. A cheating ring of just 5 players would spend $50k to $100k in tournament entry fees trying to dump chips to Boku over such a large volume, not cost effective.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, I did not read through the whole thread.
I'm always amazed at how when someone does something amazing there are those who think they must have cheated.

If you think this through, this would be an almost impossible challenge to cheat given the rules he had to follow. Think of all the tournaments he played during this timeframe, he played something like 7,000 tournaments probably averaging around $8 per tournament.

So think about that. If his "friends" bought into 7,000 tournaments merely to chip dump to him, assuming he had 5 friends that would do this that would be 5 x $8 x 7,000 tournaments =$280,000

so you can see just from a purely mathematical standpoint that wouldn't be very cost effective.

Even if we lowered the amount of tournaments his friends tried to chip dump to him and lowered it from 7,000 tournaments to just 300 tournaments you still end up with his friends spending

5 x $8 x 300 = $10,800

and assuming that chip dumping only resulted in him being successful 25% of the time (remember tournaments are randomly assigned seating and his "friends" can bust out before they are seated with him not to mention they can still dump chips to him and he can still lose) then this would mean that they would need to increase their chip dumping volume by a factor of 4 meaning that they would have to go from 300 games to 1200 games worth of chip dumping meaning they'd need to spend $40k+ to "help him"

And that quick math is incredibly forgiving...

So in a nutshell, given the scope of the challenge and the sheer volume of games involved, cheating would be impossible to the point of being so inefficient that the amount of cheating required to realize a win would exceed the amount of money owed. You'd end up spending $50k+ cheating and trying to dump chips based on the sheer volume. Not to mention that Pokerstars has anti collusion software that tracks players and there is no way serious players would risk a lifeban over a prop bet....

So yeah, add everything up, and it's pretty much impossible Boku cheated.

His 51 table vid is legit...

I used to 40-45 table pre table ninja as well. (9 man turbos ) and it was of course easier on 45mans etc, I was able to 50 table it there.. With a max of 52-55 .. Sometimes 55 felt way too hard though, and sometimes it was normal...52 was the sweet spot forsure.

I believe during this challenge I saw him 65 tabling and he claimed to not be using table ninja etc...( at a time when everyone was using it).

I saw him making the common 2.2-2.5 x raises like on 200/400 .. Raise to 872... Always consistent .
He did all this while on cam, ( you could only see him, not the screens) and eating cookies like a hamster. Seems impossible to do that stuff one handed and 65 tabling. I have always respected his work ethic, but I call bs on no table ninja during this challenge ... If your still around Boku, tell me the truth , pm me I won't say a word :-)))))

I have skimmed that some people hate on his skills etc nowadays ... But these prop bets were fun as hell back then to sweat...and Boku made lots of money putting his money on the line with these challenges. Can't hate on someone who gave us so much entertainment and opened everyone's mind on what was possible. I'm sure he inspired lots of players to grind harder and stop being lazy.

Is this real tea?

Listen, you should have called flop if V had a high cbet % combined with decent vpip/pfr stats (the looser the better)

On the turn there are so many draws, plus the fact that he has an ace a lot of the time = losing play if we call/raise

I see villain folding here <9%
