I'm doing this mainly as a volume prop bet. I didn't want to say "10k STTs in one month plus profit" because if I play 10k games at the 16s and I am down money then well, I am doing something wrong. The $5k in profit is just a little extra sweat for myself and some added incentive for whoever bets against me.

Seems like a pretty ingenious way of keeping regs out of your games for a mon.

id imagine any serious full time regs would just refrain from betting against him? doesnt seem worthwhile to have to screw up your schedule just to participate in a prop bet unless your betting a tonne.

i might bet, thought i think every1 is underestimating how many games you will actually be playin per hour. I feel like 50 games an hour is very doable if reloading constantly and stretching your current limits alittle. 3% roi is also eassy at the 16s. i think maybe a more fair line is 2.5:1

I don't think people realise how hard this to play 10k and not go insane. Also from initial post it seems like it'd be considerably more volume than he has played before in a month. Megafossil has written he can play like 40 tables at a time. Playing continuously over playing in sets I think is harder too espec if you don't already.

Really good players at the 16s have tried this and not suceeded glitlr iirc.

The rule though about people not being able to bet against you and sit not tweak to unless your a reg at stakes and don't reg over me anyway unless your bad.

I'm also playing the 16's and to be honest.. who the hell wants to bet against you.

He's probably the best reg in the 16's. Profit part of this bet is not a problem. He would just have to grind a little more than usual.

switching from sets to continuous will take a good deal of adjusting too because I assume you aren't used to having a bunch of short handed tables open while 20 tabling. not betting but GL

So this is a little over 13 hours playing time per day if he plays in sets of 25 games.
This means its probably 9-10~ hours per day playing poker in continuous mode for 30 days he is betting about.

But seriously i dont want you playing more than you already do

no money in having you at my tables, hehe.

If this happens im probably in for $900 to win $300.

I'm probably interested in betting at least 1500 to win 500, but you have to adjust your rules to let regs still be able to play with you. There is no way I'm going to be able to completely avoid you if you are going to play continously for 12+ hours per day, since I'd also like to do my normal grinding while this bet goes on.
