It's a sekrit! But I think I will stick with cash until I reach a certain point of desperation. Also, *** sngs. I might play some 6max, but mostly not.

Soo.... you think I'll get action?

Why don't you guys give me action, c'mon c'mon.

I think you can do it.. but I'll take a gamble :-P if you are willing to take very small bets (as you know..I'm poor lol). What's the lowest action you are willing to give?

I'll probably try to get $500 in action.

Starting at $50 is a (relative) walk in the park if you can 24-table, put the hours in and choose your own games as you go. Much of the value for those betting against Nate was in a quick busto (although he could well have got better odds than even money) even if he fell behind late he had martingaling-type options.
Just imo

Ro no way in hell would i give you action on this. Your multitabling options are huge to this. That and shortstacking options id never take it.

If it was $5-$1000 would be more optional because of the possibility of going busto from variance. I think 5-50 is the hardest part of this challenge. 50+ while admittedly would be really hard i think is doable with enough volume. I dont think it has enough EV in it for me to bet on.

Even at evens i think i wouldnt take it

Hrmm, true. Maybe something like $25? Thing is Nate is an established player, whereas I'm not.

Meh screw it, I've got classes again next week anyway.
