Hello everyone,

My name is Earl



I'm trying to get action for 2010

I want to bet that I can get top 40 for 2010 Cardplayer POY, while also achieving supernova elite status on Pokerstars, by playing cash games and MTTs, not sngs.

There will most likely only be 150-200 players that achieve supernova elite, a lot of which are not even profitable players, but are only profitable b/c of the fpps/milestones/packages.

To win the bet, I have to be profitable playing online, not including rakeback/fpps/milestones/packages etc.

A little background... i started playing live in 2008... i finished 22nd in 2008 on cardplayer... and in 2009 i finished 7th. I obviously ran extremely well both years.

With regards to supernova elite, I was able to achieve supernova elite in 2007, playing 1/2 NL, 12 tables for 45 hours a week, I got it on december 20th of that year.

In 2008, I only earned around 220k vpps, playing a ton of live after winning EPT San Remo in April of that year

This year (2009), I have earned 196k vpps, as I have been mostly focusing on playing live tourneys.

In 2008, I played 47 live tournaments, and this year I played 94 live tournaments (which I was fairly shocked when I just counted them, thought I played like 110-115).

I plan on just playing PLO cash and NL cash full ring to achieve this, and obviously MTTs which generate like no vpps, and playing the occasional step 5 or 6.

I want to get 2 to 1 odds on this, as I think it would be extremely difficult to accomplish both of these in the same year.

I want to escrow, unless I know you personally.

Whos interested?
FYP

I think +.01 would be profitable.

as i am a pokerstars pro, i guess you would just have to trust that i would not let anyone play on my account, as this would jeopardize my sponsorship, let alone it just being morally unethical

i will not be setting up webcams as i am travelling 8-9 months during the year and it would be a big pain in the ass

Since you're PS pro why don't you ask scotty to escrow ?

Also it's a very nice prop. I don't really know the value of being ranked at POY but it will be tough to do both that and SNE. I think I might take the bet for once.

What about a set amount of phone calls to ensure that it's you playing where you have to immediately reveal what table stakes and games you are playing.

I don't distrust you, I just want to be safe.

Also, does this need to be booked by today?

Ok jason I've always been a big fan of urs (since u binked san remo) hehe but seruisly, wtf are you doing here? You can easily have a fun year, stress free year playing all the big trns you want to and probably make a ton of money in the process since ur a beast. Why would you try to get sne in the process? I know its additional profit but u clearly have shown that u can make that in a trny... i dunno jus seems silly and unnescary to me.

idk why u'd waste ur time on this for only 50k in action... if you were going for like 500k in action, ok sure...50k just seems like a pointless year of stress for you.

When is the latest that you will accept bets and is there a minimum that must be reached for the total bet (i.e. is there a # that must be reached total for you to still do it and accept action). This is not only exciting but the odds are very fair.

I have been talking this prop over with some close friends of mine... and have basically decided against going through with it

Let alone the fact that I am not getting much of a response, most people interested seem to want to put 500 or 1k on it, but also the fact that I may want to call this quits very early in the year

If I have a big live score for like 1 mill or something, I may want to relax and take some time off and not have to go for SNE, or play as much live to try and get top 40.

I think I am still going to attempt to do this, but just to try and print money, and just not make any bets on it.

For those of you who wanted to book action, sorry for the tease.

Lets see you played 96 tourneys, won 5, Fted 4 more and made about 200k VPP (Thats without being sponsored). #40 on the list this year got 4 FTs and zero wins...
I don't think you should be getting odds on this unless your goin to run really worse than your results.

how can you possibly be doing this when your girlfriend is so pretty? I played with her some at Venetian in November...I'd be taking more time off personally!

best of luck

edit: looks like you decided some of the same.

Today we are going to consider the difference between things you would say to someone in real life and things you would say to them over an internet message board. Honestly man, what is wrong with you?!
