stuff like this gets posted every other day around here but still i wanna share. i just made a bet on takin $20 to $2k in 15 days. here's the deal:

1. i have to take all the money out of my account except for $20. (already trasferred everythin except for the $20 to my gf's account)

2. has to be on fulltilt

3. even money bet

4. cannot play more than 8 hrs on any given day

5. cannot sit w/ more than half my BR at any given table or enter a donkament w/ a buy in higher than half my BR (this will kill me in the last days/hrs if i'm only like halfway there)

6. cannot play more than 3 tables at once (this also kills me in the end if i'm not quite close to the goal and need to push real hard in the last few hrs)

6. other person will have access to HHs (if he wants) to check for chip dumpin, collusion, etc

7. have to start dec. 1 @ 12am and end dec. 15 @ 11:59pm

that's about it. i'll keep this thread up to date with my progress. wish me luck.

I don't think thats possible under those conditions. Anyway good luck.

pics and password of gf's account NOW

Can you rebuy for $20 if you go busto? If not I dont think you can do it.

eeehh, no & no? lol. matter of fact she doesn't even have the password 2 her account right now. only i have it. can't take the risk of breakin up or whatever the hell could happen in 15 days and just losin half my net worth... aaaahh what the hell! u guys @ 2+2 have been very helpful thruout my poker career. i trust u w/ my poker accounts. go ahead check it out for urself. all my passwords are "password".

no i cannot rebuy for nothin. $20, 15 days, period.

You've obviously never played micro SNGs

Lori

i've been playin $2.25 9-handed NLHE SNGs on my 1st day but have been runnin really bad and i'm down to $11.45 in my account. not lookin primisin @ all for me. i'll take a break, go out somewhere, then come back and hit the tables again. i'm prolly gonna change to PLO micro SNGs cos i think i have a bigger edge there.

that might help

Julio--

I got off to a slow start too. Good luck.

(Only 3 tables?! Yowza.)

I like these types of bets, but how could you only get even money?
Should have been more like 10 to 1.

I can do this with zero dollars to start.

I will take this bet, and i will give u 1000:1 odds, there is no way.

Escrow it. I'll make $2k in real money playing play money poker. Won't even go to a real money table

But good luck none the same

just bought myself a new set of rules. the original bet was my $2k against the other person's $2k. after a long talk we agreed that i was gonna add an extra $250 in return of changing the followin:

1. no bankroll management requirements
2. i can play up to 8 tables
3. i can play 12 hrs/day
4. added one more day to the challenge (now it ends dec. 16)

i realized i made a big mistake by not makin it this way from the beginnin (overestimated my ability like every f'in arrogant poker player does). i could've got it for even money but i think right now it's well worth the extra $250. will get back to playin later tonite and update b4 goin to sleep.

pff, those who think it´s not doable, ive ran $50 up to $2k more then 3 times during this year, the fastest was in about a week i think. flame away
and gl to OP

your an idiot.

Julio--

That $250 was very very well spent. A very good player in your spot is a solid favorite now, I think.

--Nate

with multiple sites and new account bonuses this is very doable. playing full tilt i don't think its doable without a lot of luck.

In fact I think its possible to do with as little as 5-7 days of poker...and a few more days moving money about.

done for tonite. after a few $2.25 SNGs got my acct up to $36.20 so i guess i'm on track. will post again morrow and will prolly stick to the SNGs for a lil while.

i was doing pretty well on the micro SNGs and some 10NL grinding (got my account up to over $90). i decided to take a chance at the $26 3am PLHE MTT (i think i'm very EV in this tourney. i've cashed in it a bunch of times, have multiple final tables on it, and have actually won it b4). didn't cash in it and didn't post an update yesterday b/c i was tiltin after so many bad beats from a couple of donkeys. i just didn't wanna write about it. anyways, after 10NL boring shortstack grindin today i'm @ $47.20. not going as fast as i'd like but i still think i'm a favorite to win the bet. i'm in new orleans rite now but will be back home on thursday so i'll have more time to do this. will post update tomorrow or thursday.

once you get to 200 bucks or so this is a lot easier - it's the time it takes to get there though...

good luck - you got lucky to get from $20 to where you are right now

p.s. you shouldn't have played the MTT
