Scottyy can you give us account updates plus number of tables like you did on the last challenge? He's playing well over 30 now...

I don't know what kind of ROI he can expect in the .25 45's, but he'll have to play a sick amount of them before he gets to the next level of $1.10. He'll obviously by there by tomorrow though because he's sick.

I guess I don't quite get this, then. Doesn't seem much of a challenge if you get reloaded every time you hit $0.

If he goes busto again, does he get another stake? Will this wind up being "The $200 In $5 Increments to $100,000 Challenge"?

Meh - I have no issue with him starting over again... It's still a hell of a feat to go from $5 to $100k, regardless of how many times you load up $5. (Starting with $50 is a little different, obv).

I thought the original post, however, talked to having to rely on freerolls in case of busto, though, so I'm a little confused about the 'rules'.

But hey - this isn't a prop bet - it's a challenge. You want to start over, fill your boots...

(& GL Boku... Should be fun to watch...)

I think Scotty didn´t want the "selling playmoney" issue to spread so they decided to rather reload his stack....

Allowing him to reload is a little surprising, but it seems more fair than requiring him to win the money in the VIP freerolls. Anyone can reload another $5 if they go broke, but not anyone can play in a $75k supernova freeroll with a $12k first prize. It's much better he just resets than play one tournament a week until he has a $100+ score and is able to play the $1.10s again.

He lost the challenge... New challenge = New thread. Start a new thread. He lost the challenge.

Option 2: ban him for breaking TOS and selling play money chips. OBV he has done this in the past.

Option 3: Stop the ridiculous practice of selective enforcement of TOS on this issue. Allow people to buy and sell Play money chips without fear.



Whatever option you choose realize that reloads were not mentioned prior to the beginning so the challenge is a fail. The best he can do now is say he did it the second time.

Boku mentioned selling play money and scotty mentioned freerolls.

and keep in mind that though BOKU is not betting on this others are, so please try to take it more seriously.

UNSubscribe.. But I will subscribe to the SECOND $5 to $100K thread. In fact, I might just start it.

Mods, please lock this thread... the challenge is over.

I'm a solid winner, been playing for a living for almost 7 yrs.. i couldn't do this. I don't have the work ethic and commitment to put in that amount of hours. I'd say neither do 99.99% of people which is why it takes a hell of a lot more than just being a solid winner to pull off something like this.
Yes I'm aware this is july and he wont make SNE in 6 months. I'm just saying anyone who has made SNE without going bust has essentially done this challenge. The only difference is they probably start with a roll, but that should only take someone with boku's skills 2 months or so to build up.

The 'easy' way to do it would be to play 100nl - 600nl cash trying to maximize winrate, as opposed to fpp proing.

I also find it hard to believe that you have been playing professionally for 7 years and dont make 6 figures. What games do you play and at what level?

For a 200nl grinder averaging $100/hr(a reasonable rate for a good 200nl reg), it would only take 1000 hours, or 2.7 hours a day. And thats not including bonuses. Hardly a huge commitment.
