Didn't wanna do a profit requirement as I am prone to the odd crazy downswing, think this is challenging enough tbh! I'll be honest I haven't worked out hands/hr, I've roughly worked out at about 10hrs/day 24-tabling*. Lmk if you want action, and how much...

This is a rough estimation and not to be taken as fact *

Yeah you have to escrow all these bets, you could get freerolled here.

Andy I think you're right. I'm going to have to get you to escrow the cash borntochase. No offence but I don't know you and wouldn't want to be freerolled. I know that sounds cheeky but I'm sure you understand!

I'll be losing close to 10% in Escrow-- upload fee of about 3%, huge variance in forex from my local currency to USD and in event I win, withdrawal of the principal back to my bank and another inward forex deduction. Might have tax liability on the refund as the withdrawal will NOT happen back to my credit card and will be required to get it into my bank account (refund being a different source).

I need to reconsider, shall do a little later in the evening.

Okay so i am out unless there is a profit component:

10.2k/1.3 = ~7 hours table time daily.

I was pmed that so if that is at all accurate it isnt that difficult to play 7hrs a day at 50nl. And this is for 35 days, you will have over 40days to do this.

over my 300k hand sample i gained on avg .20 vpp/hand, so .25 seems a bit too optimistic

HMJ / Jaja-

It's tricky, sort of catch-22 given the 1:1 odds and international money transfer difficulty. Escrow was never mentioned before, else would have made alterations accordingly.
I don't feel the need to defend my ethics/intentions or capability of making payments if I lose. You don't know me and is the only reason you'd doubt, but I care less.

Sorry about the mess!

fwiw I got 0.21 in 50nl zoom, and 0.24 at 50nl reg tables with alot of table starting before the hu rape rake increase, not sure if gazzy is going to be getting >.23 if he's 24 tabling and not starting tables.

numbers from sid's spy look pretty accurate

0.25 is too high for 50 zoom, no idea about ring.

Now, back to business. I'm not overly keen on taking a bet with profit required, but if someone wants to make me an offer, then we can discuss!

Edit - Nick, won't be table starting much but won't be sitting out if tables get short handed!

Yesterday and so far today. Pretty swingy! All of the rostucko has been today, still a bit more to go. Took some pretty sick beats but also laid out one or two. Full update and monthly progress to come later.
