I'll bet the over, anyone want action?
Alternatively, I'll put my net worth on the under if we can escrow.

I think a lot of that (all?) can be done in apps, maybe with the exception of staking/buying pieces... Although a work around would be to create a new game that said something like 1/2 NL Staking or something, so actually you could.

I've played some, but very little. I don't know about the whole farce thing, it wasn't a farce in a lot of ways.

150/150 would be less profitable, though... I made a substantial amount off of the prop bets and promo fund, and I think there were other benefits to the 300 hours anyway.

But the actual drive, determination, stamina and perseverance it takes to do 300 hours in a single month doesn't become any easier just because you follow it up with 0 hours the next month. So in that way what he achieved in January is equally impressive regardless of what he does or doesn't achieve in February.
Thanks, ITT. I agree. Plus I've spent more time in February thinking about and studying poker than in my average month, and way more time thinking about life strategy than usual, so it wasn't totally unproductive.

Thanks... And congrats on 150 in three weeks, that's not easy in and of itself!
The errands definitely piled up on me, I basically didn't do any in January
. My apartment was a mess on 1/31.
