Nah, I'm doing this for fun / self challenge so no need to bet. Never wanted a bet originally till you said "bet you can't" and my ego went "yes huh". I really, really do think I'll make it though, so yw on your $100

I'd like to take this opportunity to re-thank those who said gl, and those who have said gl since my last post. This is definitely a fun little challenge for me and as we all know (since I've literally stated in text) I'm not taking this 100% hardcore with volume and/or br management. Not to mention getting in volume at reg/turbo on Merge means 2 games an hour. Thanks all for being supportive, fun, and all around non-douchey.

Fwiw., Motown is a good reg (or at least was pre-BF), so he has the skill that's required to beat all these different buy-in levels that he'll play at during this challenge - and he should also be tilt-resistant enough.
However, if someone with ~$500 life-time winnings tries to do the same thing, he'll have a much higher chance of failure - not only because the average low-stakes grinder doesn't have the skill to beat $50+, there's also a decent change he'll handle variance badly when session swings get into the range of what used to be his full bankroll.
This makes this challenge somewhat special.
This is kind of what I was going for Jack, you nailed it. 2-3yrs ago this would have been a ~0% opportunity for me to try something like this. I can very, very confidently beat anything at or below ~$100... and basically if variance smacks me I'll be forced to put in more volume till it evens out. Luckily I've only had one day of bad variance ($-300, your example is again spot on, bc it didn't for 1 second impact my game) and haven't really had to make any adjustments except for adding in a lot of reg/turbo games to the meal-plan.
