yea but he is trying to win more buyins so that kind of offsets the player pool being worse.

It's important to bear in mind that he has won enough to cover the amount of the bet by this point. So he isn't going to lose money. As such, one could argue that once it becomes unwinnable in his opinion it is in his interest to just do whatever he feels will give him the chance to win the most money before the end of the period.

Ummm, if he was going to give up on the bet he can just go back to whatever stakes he normally plays such as NL400 6-max or some other limit. There would be no need to continue playing at NL200 full-ring just to make a better profit on those specific games if he is 100% sure he isn't going to win the bet.

Also, there is pretty much no chance I think that he cranks out the hours after this in a last-ditch effort to make up for it.
WGC had some good ideas on how to pull off some sort of bet like this.
One thing he neglected to mention but I'm sure he realizes is that the weekends are HUGELY important. More hours on Fri through Sun is pretty critical.
And he's been kind of blowing off the last 2 weekends.

Every time I think it's pretty much over [at least 2 or 3 times now] I get proven wrong.
He's on 12 tables right now.
He's not throwing in the towel yet folks.

with bonus you probably made more than I have this whole year

obviously the prop bet changes that, but it should be pretty comforting to know you could have a 300k+ year if you could get better at maintaining the volume.

If you didn't have any off days there would be a good chance you could have done it but I guess the fatigue set in.

the mental fatigue is what people bet against. of course it's possible to win 200 buyins in 31 days, there's no secret doom switch against it

I know I shouldn't tell ppl this but actually there is a secret FPP store once you get past 500k VPPs. I used some of my FPPs to enable the doomswitch on his account. I know I got the email from stars telling me not to say anything about the FPP store but I figure f it...I might as well tell everyone about it since the word is gonna get out sooner or later.
