This. Also to the judges. And gg Turtlelicious - not meant to be this time but hopefully you got some good experience that will benefit you moving forward. Kudos to you for having the stones to attempt something like this.

Op I must say that I admire your courage to take that decision and give and end to this.

The whole thing was clearly messing with your psychology and to avoid more serious things you found the strengh to end it.

Manies and bankrolz can be re-builted, broken egos can't.

GG gl next time bro

this




or this





minus the democrat thing obv, too lazy to edit it out

if you or anyone else wants to attempt this again, get as good odds as you can. You should be able to get like 8:1. If you have a huge wait list of bettors as H2T did, you're doing it wrong.

i just found out this was over, gonna start shipping original bets back, then get into winnings.

ok i think all my calcs are right

sent 3000 to 3j55 and rik and 5000 to kitty. tomorrow ill send the rest of their bets and the first round of winnings.

or that will hammer me and ill have to wait till next week, but ^^^^^ is the plan

I really have to agree here...

He didn't go from a decent spot to an inescapeable spot in a few days... 13k~ -> 10k is still a recovery zone.

Obv if he dropped down to 5-6k, ya might as well call it quits.

I mean, there are days where he could hit the heater and get 3-4k in 10k hands... right?

Ted Forrest:

"I played Hamid Dastmalchi one time for about 100 hours straight at the Mirage. At the end of it, they had to take him out of the Mirage in an ambulance. I joked that it was all my bad beats I put on him that put him into the hospital, but I think it was the 50 packs of cigarettes he smoked."

It quite understandable that many posters are going to say he had nothing to gain by stopping early.

In reality, the bet was already over, as any chance he had of winning it at that point was very, very, slim. The small EV he had from carrying on the bet was far out-weighed by the disadvantages of doing so. I'm pretty sure all of the mega-volume, winning players would agree with this. Dreams of having multiple $3-4k winning sessions, without break-even/losing days, can be left to everyone else.

He didn't "quit." He made a valiant effort, but then reached a point where he no longer stood a realistic chance of winning the bet, and so he made a sensible decision to stop.

At least grind it out until the end and win some money doing so. The whole month was planned out to play poker anyways.

I didn't realise that now the bet's over, he's not allowed to play for another three weeks.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STIPULATION!!

Uhhhhh he actually totally did quit. It makes no sense to consider it anything but quitting, he was like a day or two behind pace. Panic attacks and other health things could be reasons but even with those it is still quitting.

The small EV gained from not saying "I quit" makes way more sense than quitting with sooooo much time left. He quit giving himself absolutely 0 chance as opposed to giving himself a small tiny but obviously super long shot. There is absolutely no value in actually quitting the prop early as he could have "quit" and continued to play without declaring that he was actually quitting.

Again I'll say I"m not saying he didn't have reasons to quit, I'm saying I think its silly to cheer someone who gave up with some much time to go being only a day or two behind. That to me is the opposite of a valiant effort

it's not really clearcut if quitting early is better than sticking it out until the end. it's all about weighing the happiness EV that he loses while he's still in the bet versus his slight EV in the bet. unfortunately, it's hard to quantify happiness EV.

I think the point is that he could have mentally removed himself from the bet without actually calling it quits. Who knows what kind of heater he may go on over the next 2 weeks. He could have played whatever schedule he wanted with no pressure to put in a high volume, because he had removed those expectations from his mind. The bet was for 31 days, and the worst that could happen was that he lost at the end of it.

Edit: my wording is poor. I speak english good. I don't see why you wouldn't continue unless the mere act of being in the bet makes you do things you're uncomfortable doing.
