I have one week to turn $5 on PokerStars into $1000. No freerolls, just me on the account, no friends dumping to me, nothing sly or underhanded.

Currently at $5.22. Began at 8 PM EST.

hopefully you will lose

wow can i get in on the bet that you will lose?

and hopefully you will be banned

Good luck sir. SNGs permitted? I figure it can't be too hard once you get to ~150$.

Well, I'm down to $4.19, so it might not take long for you to get your wish.

--Nate

it was my dying wish..

Thanks.

Yup, SNGs are allowed. Big part of my plan. First I have to stop running so bad at $.02/$.04.

MARTINGALE

ive been discussing a potential prop bet with a few of my friends. it basically is centered around playing hu 5$ hu nlhe sng's. how many out of 100 is a fair line?

also, one of my friends believes he can win over 75/100 hu plo8 5$sng on stars.

anyhow, good luck nate!

I think I have all the action I'm comfortable with for now.

BTW, this hand was funny.

If you looking for more action, i'll take a small bet of my $250 to your $200 that you dont do it, seeing as tho you lost 1/6th your BR already.

Thanks, but I'm not comfortable taking more action on this right now.

--Nate

Thanks.

BTW, If your friend is good and adjusts I think he's a favorite to win >75 of them. For a while I was running at approximately that clip at higher stakes. Admittedly small sample, but I also knew less about HU PLO8 than I do now.

--Nate

care to share what kind of odds you have on the bet?

Even money.

--Nate

couldnt u have gotten more than even money? starting with only 5 bucks there is a pretty high shot of busto... if it was like 20 or something like that i can see even money.

I would go as far as saying and half decent SNGer should win over 70% at $5, if the few occasions I have played them are anything to go by the play is just laughable- and I suck

Update:

Down to $2.15.

Hail Mary: 2-tabling $1 NL.

--Nate

for some motivation. The first time i bought on a poker site I bought in 50 dollars. I got down to 78 cents and made it up all the way to 16,000 from that low point just playing real smart. It can happen, just will your mind and you might be able to do it.

Motivation successful. Back to $5.22.
