===================================
congrats to gravy for his sick month and a brilliant idea for me to copy to stick myself in front of a computer for an entire month (unless i give up sooner)

please dont post in this thread to tell me what spacegravy did already. obviously everyone knows what gravy did. thats not a secret. additionally i'm taking 1.5:1 where he was getting 2:1.
check SS, noone has come anywhere close at this level.

RH do you use any poker software to get reads on players since when you're 12 tabling you obviously cant focus on each individual player? That is unless you are Bobby Fischer or Stu Ungar.
You don't need too many reads in the 16s to have a 10% roi or so... some people 30 table for > 13%. Basic ICM and knowing who the regs are is sufficient. That said, I think 10k in the 16s is very doable, though I really think you should be playing more than 12 tables if you are comfortable doing so. I think you'll do it if you're motivated, so good luck!
cheesemoney-
absolutely noone is beating the 27s for 13% while playing 12 or more tables for a significant sample. no one. its not even a little bit close.
gl with this, now i want to know who at the 114's+ has the balls to take bets on makin +50k in one month? After I play around 3k games or so at those levels I may consider it.

that would be awesome. not sure if you'd get any action though after your last GREAT SUCCESS!
that's always a chance when doing these type of bets.. but when he's going to have to play 5k-6k sngs or possibly more I don't think a couple people getting in some of them is really going to matter much.
I've got you doing this with about 60 hrs/week over 4 weeks (28 days) at 10% roi 12 tabling semi-continuously. Obv at slightly less than 60 hrs/week over 31 days, or with same hours but slightly lower roi. I haven't played many 27s, but I have to think that a 9 or 10% roi is sustainable for a really good player (and as per faq). Burn out is another matter. Is this reasonable?
