Hahaha. Honestly, if anyone how to delete a bunch of messages at once without clicking all the individual boxes at once I'm all ears. I looks for a "select all on page" thing but I couldn't find one. Used tog et a lot of PMs from when I rented out rooms in our poker house in Vegas and from packages I sold. Lol'd pretty ahrd that you saw it that way.

All the screenshots of graphs I have posted have been current as of the time they were posted ITT. Also, my scope is unblocked if anyone wants to stay current or drill down and take a look at things by stake or year over year.

I mean that just is "2013 all games." Feel free to explore my scope if it interests you. Basically last year I was running at ev in most of my stakes (100h, 200t, 500t, 1000t) a tiny bit under in 200h and 2000t and way over in 300t. Then this year I ran basically either a little under ev or miles under at every stake all at the same time. I also fired MTTs for a while trying to "bink my way out of a downswing." My game and my mindset needed work, and I didn't start rebounding in anything until I dropped all the way down to $30 hypers.

I think alot of this has to do with your BR... after seeing those graphs I'm kinda thinking you dont have a substantial BR.. correct me if Im wrong
My bankroll has been healthier. I also really do not want to have to be staked again in my career. All bets are to be escrowed so it really shouldn't be a concern to anyone wanting to wager, the worse my bankroll is doing the more they should like their side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There has been some concern voiced that if I were to find myself close toward the end of the bet, that I could just move up and play higher because the amount I stand to make from SNE bonus and this bet would compensate for my risk. This is something Uzi and I talked about and I said I'm not trying to blow out my roll, I'm trying to do this by being responsible and applying myself daily for a long period of time.
The spirit of the bet was really about "can I play this many tables, this many hours a day, this many decisions, everyday" not "can I get myself in a position where it's profitable for me to make a mad dash to elite regardless of the consequences."
It wasn't hard to reach an understanding on this with a personal friend, but I understand that people who don't know me may be more skeptical.
For that reason, I'm offering that if anyone else would like to bet against me, as long as the amount I stand to win from additional bets combined is significant (say > $7k) I will agree to get elite playing only stakes $100 USD and lower.
Technically, I mean that >95% of my volume will be at $100 and under. I don't want to exclude myself from playing the occasional higher game if I see a really soft line up, I want to be able to play the occasional $215 MTT, and I wouldn't want to lose the bet on a technicality b/c I mis-registered or won a sattie seat and forgot to unreg or something dumb like that. I'm saying 95% of my volume will be $100 and lower so it's not a issue, but I expect the real number to be closer to 98%. This 95% criteria would apply from the moment the bet was booked until the end of the year or until I reach elite, whichever comes first.
This is only added to the bet if more people bet against me. However, the whole point of the bet was about pushing my limits for how many hours I can work, how many tables I can play, how well I can play, day after day. It's about pushing myself, not hoping for positive variance or trying to "run hot." I'm really working to develop proper habits. Obviously adding this helps Uzi's side, but getting more action helps mine, so it seems fair. Unless I actually build my roll and feel comfortable enough in my game to move up, I don't plan to. You may see me do the bet at 100s and lower anyway. We'll see how it goes.
