some people are better than others and deserve more and get more. so just be happy to witness the light and take solace that your the dark black damp dirt that makes them grow.

sick run thought to end the challenge!!

Epic.

I think you lit a fire under him. The thread was good motivation to prove the doubters wrong.


Beat me to it. ^

He needs to move down to where nobody respects his raises.

Lol pretty much this

That was indeed epic.
Very fun to watch.
And now? Whats up guys? Sadface

Hello,
I just came to thread to ask for permission to watch Doug's videos and use Upswing now that he did beat Micros?
Is that okay guys?

100% agree with this. Such a dramaqueen but still a very smart guy.

Does "douche" and "dramaqueen" mean "awesome" "entertaining" "educational" "comedic" and "intelligent"? Cause like, yeah, I agree with you...

Gotta give credit where credit's due, Doulg fisted the challenge with mashed potatoes and an uncomfortably large ring (Caligula reference)


Hoping for more streams though now that the BRC is over (streams in a NON Caligula sort of way) because they are p cool edutainment

How can you retire from something that you are making 7k a day at lol.

If i was Doug I'd be back in those 200 NL games again tonight.

Is it weird to want to move to Vegas to play the micro stakes on WSOP? Fly out there with a grinder pal, and check into some poop hotel and stay inside all week grinding on the laptop hahahahahhaha. Room service and weed delivery and you're set boi.

Or would it be better to get a spot in a neighboring state and just go in to a borderlands cafe with wifi and bust out 3-5K on the reg? The more "rural" approach as it were. Better get a jacket with a fur lined collar then.

Try Tahoe, if you can cover the rent with your grinding. Nicest place on the border I can think of.

Ugh and here I am debating moving from NYC to NJ to play

Logic does not compute. How can you win when you're raises aren't being respect for the mostly legitimate hands that they are.

Hi fullflush

betfold he says , that would take almost as long as the challenge should have. lol. i watched most of it he even mentioned that he didnt want people punting stacks to him. its not impossible once he got to 2/5 to run that hot. dougs a luckbox bruh get over it lol

Couple of clips from the BRC final stream that I already posted in few other threads but here is 1/10th of the winnings in 2 pots, which there were quite a few more of last stream where he ended up winning +7k or so. He ran very hot but it wasn't like people were just handing over stacks.

Didn't Jesus do this challenge back in the day and it took him over a year playing pretty much full time?

First off, huge congratulations Doug for completing the BRC!

Secondly, I’ve had some thoughts on the 10k loot from the BRC.

Clearly the force is with you Doug, now it’s time to shine as a Yoda of Poker.

Select an unknown, micro stakes player (however you choose to do that) who has aspirations in improving their game and going to the 2019 WSOP ME. Give the selected player the works, upswing training access and your wisdom from one on one coaching for preparations to the 2019 ME, while the applicant agrees to commit x amount of hours per week in training exclusively at upswing, working with you and others from upswing as well as any and all other training objectives you assign.

Another benefit of this idea,is that it could potentially turn the 10k challenge to 100K or even 1mil from the ME payouts. And the selected player could forward an agreed cash in the ME to the next selected player for 2020s ME.

I think this would be a great way to build on your accomplished 10k challenge while demonstrating to the world that, not only are you a Jedi of poker, but a Yoda in poker teachings. And for the best part for last, this idea doesn’t require you to play at all, just teach! Keep the BRC alive by passing the torch of knowledge!

Ferguson started his challenge with $0 playing freerolls iirc.

Pretty awesome he did it but kinda bittersweet it's over. I think that's the last we'll see of him for quite a while

Great idea.

I wish, his egos too big to be away at all, maybe he'll be working on Strat and game trees on how to crush the WOMENS WSOP tourney, his last attempt didn't go so well.

first of all I think Doug needs time off
Yeah he didn't play but this unfinished thing that was telling him he HAS TO would make it hard to relax and actually miss poker

I bet he'll be back after that at some point
