145 hours only? are you serious? ppl work 160 hours in 20 days. If you lose this, it is because of your laziness.

It's a little different to play poker at 40 hours a week lol. Burning himself out and being tired for the next day's session wouldn't make sense either.

This isn't anything like regular work. Obviously Zachvach has chosen to do this the way that he thinks will make the most profit (very obviously). Your constant naive "advice" to him throughout the thread is very tiresome.

Dude, I've tried to be nice, but seriously **** you. You have no idea how much I can play, no idea what's been going on, no idea what I've been doing away from the tables (hint: not all of poker is hands you put in at the tables). You ****ing begged me for a piece of my action saying it would be fun and then every thing I do you are criticizing me for it and telling me how I should do it your way and that if I don't I'll lose. I'm 4 days away and on pace, feeling good about how I've been playing, this is probably ~3 times more than I usually play each month yet I haven't been too burnt out. I have a ****load more money on this than you do and I can make my own decisions. If you didn't trust me to make the best decisions to maximize my chances of winning you shouldn't have bet on my side. So please shut the **** up and keep the comments that do nothing to help me to yourself. Also big lol at 1200 hands/hour being equivalent to most other jobs in terms of mental requirements. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

Phew, now that that's out of the way I feel a lot better and can actually put in a session .

isaic is a troll why do you bother even responding to his idiocy

anyone who actually grinds online knows that 145hrs in 24 days is sick, real jobs you can glide on your C game whenever you need to, poker you need your A game every minute or piss off

He's been playing either four tables of rush poker or sixteen normal tables.

lol comparing regular work to grinding.

regular work (excluding high stress jobs obv) isn't mentally taxing at all. people can go into their jobs, maybe only functioning at 50% and still ship a paycheck. if zach plays too much, or more then he's capable of handling, then his game slides and he's handing out money.

now obv u want him to win cuz u have money on it, but zach obviously knows what's best. like he said earlier if it comes down to the wire he'll play 20hr days. just chillax man, he knows what's best for his game/himself in general

For my part, I was sick of seeing it constantly throughout the thread (and I'm sure Zach felt/feels the same).

I'm not trolling... but I thought you were going to average more than 6 hours/day as well. I know how mentally draining poker is, but I figured that would be your best option to ship the bet. He didn't say it the right way, but I think he meant that most people would have gone the more volume route. Most people probably thought that actually.

i think the way hes been doing it worked out well.
the winrate hes sustained gives him a good chance to ship it and he always has the option available to pump out more volume in the final stretch. if he was winning less along the way i have no doubt he would have put more volume/more hours in but he didnt need to so that gave him more time to study away from the tables and be less drained for the following day(s).

If he wins the bet and makes you money who cares how many hours he put into a day?

I was expecting at least 7 hrs/day, not anything like 10 or 12 or more. There's a big difference between 6 and 8 x 31 days. He's obviously has a very good game plan, but I just don't think it was the most optimal. Even 6.5 hrs would be a lot better and not that much more straining mentally.

The thing that I like most about Rush is that you can dedicate an hour to poker whenever you like and get in an actual hour of play time in. At regular tables, you spend a bunch of time getting into your games and it's harder to get into a groove as quickly as you can in Rush.

Not hating, Zac, just pointing out what I thought you were going to do and what I thought was most optimal for you as the bet has gone on. You definitely have a very good plan and much better than most of the cash props in the past.

We're discussing optimal strategy, not hindsight theory.

lololol this flaming is ridiculous. He's on pace to ship it, wtf more do you people want from him? Jesus. He gets it done and it doesn't matter how. Keep truckin Zach.

Actually it's probably a good strategy. If he played 8+ hrs a day or whatever, I expect his play would be a lot less optimal. It's very hard to play well when you're burned out... in fact I thought that might be his downfall.

yeah i'm kinda loling at people questioning his strategy, especially when compared w/ how other people have fared in similar bets taking the pure volume strategy (chicagojoey in his 100nl july bet, etc)
