Just thought of a second question:

Is it all 6-max or will you be playing some FR?
There is no rule against it, however he is playing 100bb stacks. As far as full ring is concerned, same thing, he is not playing full ring, but there is no rule against it.

This is too sketchy, for all we know he could be playing 6 max and posting results after having played 100BB stacks, and by the time all the bets are in, he could become a short stacker at the full ring tables. We also have no idea of his working bankroll, if that's the case, even Warren Buffet could hit SNE without a clue of how to play poker.

I'm sorry, until things are cleared up, I doubt you'll get much more action.

You're obviously not interested in betting to begin with. So please stop wasting everyone's time with these types of posts. The bettor has no intention of doing what you suggested, and even if he did, it still would be an amazing feet to hit SNE.

For the past 2 weeks, every single day has been a battle. I wake up fighting, i go to sleep under the pressure of the next day. Its always a fight, its a constant battle against this challenge. There are only three numbers in my life. What day of the challenge is it, What is my total, and what is pace. And every day all i do is fight.

Every day im tired.

Every day im hungry.


But it doesnt matter, i mean lifes a funny thing. 3 months ago, I dropped out of school. It was fairly impromptu, and after driving across the country, my roll was 3k.

lol yes, three thousand.

And i was going to grind nl 25 for $500 a day every day. Made like 500 the first day and decided to take a shot at nl 100. Well, long story short i am probably like +60k or something since then, in the brief time since going pro.

I spent a bunch, have some in savings, still have a roll, and escrowed off 20k.

Sort of lol i suppose, what a weird world. As i sit here at my computer mindlessly grinding out a $18 hourly trying to make it to 10k, the world goes by.

And I sat there,

I hadnt shaved for a few days

Down to my last few clean clothes

Hadnt showered in a day or two,

I just watched the sun set over the mountains. I have no idea what my future is, no clue what even tomorrow brings. But i will never stop fighting.

Because win or lose,

I am a grinder today,

and a legend forever.
I once copy/pasted this piece from a legend's blog to my hard drive. I repost it here for OP, as it's one of the most inspiring things I ever read wrt poker.

The fact that the bettor is unwilling to make a rule against short stacking tells me that he considers it a definite possibility down the road. This possibility has not only turned off Hbomb, but also me and some friends who were contemplating betting against. If he was to do it, it would transform this bet into a pure volume bet, which in my opinion goes contrary to the nature of the bet. All skill would be taken out of the equation. There wont be a chance of him being unwilling to deal with the swings. There wont be a chance of him losing his BR. There would only be the chance of him not being willing to put in 8 hours a day. LOL at calling that an amazing feat. Any moron can do that.

i don't know if he runs bad or plays bad or maybe combination of both, but if it continues to go in manner like this he will go busto 50 times during this challenge. he has dropped almost 7K in last 5 days. maybe his doing that on purpose to get more action, i don't know.

anyway i wish him best of luck to mentally survive these 5 months and succeed.

Not sure if it's been asked, haven't read the whole thread.

But...

Starting bankroll? Current bankroll? What will you do if you bust it?

Good luck with this!

**Update**


We are adding a rule that there is no short stacking allowed. Ballcup will be buying in for the max at all his tables.

As for bankroll and working bankroll, there is a rule that he has to profit in this bet see Addendum 1A.This rule should have cleared up any concern of him playing like "Warren Buffett and losing 17 million but making SNE."

Can we have a bankroll update maybe once a week? Even if its only to those making the bet? I am still on the fence about the wager

I am confused in the value of disclosing his bankroll size. Please explain to me the value, and how that will help you make a decision to wager or not? Also, he can post updates (and will) on how much he is up, and or down, and an estimation of his total bonus amount on a weekly/daily type of schedule.

Well the deal is if he goes broke its over right? So he shouldn't be able to re doposit correct?
