That's very hard to do. Id say less than 1% of 2/5 players do it. If there was some sort of prop bet where the player put in a ton of extra hours to hit $40000 in 6 months, then maybe 2-3% of players could do it.

There's next to zero chance 6betme can do it, especially when hes playing a good number of hours under his 1/3 stake.

I get that you may be playing online to mix it up to avoid burn out. I’d say that you’d be better off taking a break from poker completely during your downtime if you want to get better. Or alternatively use the time you want to play iggy to instead study and hit the lab. I have the same resources as you and absolutely disagree that upswing / detox doesn’t help you get better. They’re both amazing resources and if applied correctly can be huge to your WR at 2/5. It’s certainly helping me beat the games.

Lastly, I’d even argue that you playing online is detrimental to your 2/5 goals. Your aggression and fancy play syndrome stems from your online play.

Pls make good decisions fam, I highly suggest you play exclusively live for the near future.
I could not agree with this more. 6betme will never succeed unless he takes this to heart and stops plying online completely. Its not just a waste of time and energy in his current situation, its killing his live game.

6b, have another look at your finances and really think about how much money you actually need to play/live over the next X months. At the moment you've likely got far more than you actually need and are just accruing interest alarmingly quickly on money that isn't really benefitting you at all. This is ofc presuming DL would be happy for you to pay back a lump sum early.

In soft games it is not at all hard to do.

I actually suggested he take a smaller loan - like 10k so he doesn’t have to pay as much interest. I’d be okay to take a lump sum payment back, although it looks like 6b wants that extra cushion. I’m not going to say no to free money (:

Probably a 50/50 chance I can do it. But I know that if I'm successful, you'll definitely try to argue that I ran above EV.

I'm not planning to continue the 1/3 stake for the entire 6 months. I'm just doing it for the near future, especially whilst I'm in makeup.

Most people at 2/5 are sh*t. Plain and simple.

Explain your reasoning for thinking that carrying on the 1/3 stake is a good idea.

Based on your (incorrect) estimated winnings in each game it makes no sense. But then again nothing you do makes sense so at least it's consistent.

If something has a 50/50 chance (and it's nowhere near 50/50) you literally by definition run above EV by doing it.

I dont neccesarily disagree, but you got to love the absurd ego oozing off from a busto 24 year old who had to take on a desperate high interest big risk loan in order to continue to play poker. Absolutely amazing.

That's right - people have run the numbers already (read the posts from the last few days). You need a major heater to pull this off.

You have 20k, you already know you're a winner at 2/5 according to your own estimates. Why waste time at 1/3 when you can make a bigger hourly at 2/5? Doesn't make sense. DLuo doesn't care what games you play, as long as you keep up with the monthly repayments.

this is classic degen thinking.

subconsciously he knows to some extent, that all of this can go very, very wrong for him. That's why he keeps repeating, that it 100% will not go wrong and lends so much, so he can at least sleep well the first weeks regardless of how hard he punts.

It's 50/50 in 6betme's mind that he will reach 40k profit in 6 months because he will either do it or he won't obviously.

OP, to make 40k in 6 months at 2-5 you'll need discipline and volume. Sounds like you're ready.

Razor accuracy.

Can you ****s shut up and let OP fail if that’s what he’s striving for?

It’s obvious he wont listen and quite frankly I think his reasoning and goals are very reasonable.

Most of you just don’t realize how soft 2/5 live is.

A lot of us play 2/5 and higher stakes live. We know exactly what we are talking about. Even though we've never seen 6betme play, after reading this thread, we have an intimate understanding of the way he plays, the way he thinks, his lack of discipline, his delusional visions of grandeur...ect.

His goals are great in theory but he just doesnt have the tools needed to accomplish those goals which makes his goals unreasonable, and frankly, impossible.

He has 0% chance to make $40,000 at 2/5 the next 6 months. There is no heater big enough to pull that off. Personally, I don't think he can beat 2/5 live games at all. There's no way hes beating it for that amount even if he played 150 hours of 2/5 every month, which he will never do.

This is just one of the many completely absurd things Ive read in this thread.

I'm actually glad to have you in the thread MikeStarr... the more you say things like this, the more it makes me determined to prove you wrong.

And even if I shoot for the moon and fail, I'll still fall upon the stars.

definitely should have taken the 10k loan w/ option to extend to 10k more if you hit a downswing, that is a no brainer

I refuse to believe this.

No one in this world can be this arrogant and stupid at the same time.

How the fk does anyone win 40k at 2/5 in 6 months without going on a heater (running above EV). What is this... you're just trolling your self now dude.

Also your chances are close to 50/5000.


What do your parents think of all this? I'm surprised they haven't ****ing staged an intervention yet (not that would help).
