Well done Combu! I expect you to blow past my number in the next session.

I bow to your imminent success and your massive ROI. :adore:

Almost there; good stuff.

Gonna let us rail you when you crash through the barrier?

i'll probably post when i get within a few hundred hands or so and again once i reach 50k. people are welcome to rail, although it may be kind of anti-climactic since i'll be on multiple tables and there's no way of knowing which exact hand breaks the milestone :)

have hit a few roadblocks tonight and last night but am staying afloat (at 44.5k hands right now fwiw). would be nice to end this thing on a positive note, but i realize the poker gods don't really care about that sort of thing. i've yet to have a really awesome single day, so saturday would be a cool time for that!

peace and love

Hey combu, now that you are approaching your last 24 hours, are there any added snippets of information you would like to share with us?
I know you will likely round off the whole thing with an informative post about your experiences but I was wondering if you might want to share some stuff with us now, leading up the the grand finale. Cheers.

tbh, right now most of what i feel like sharing would have to be censored :p

i'm just going to try to worry about getting there at this point. i'll be making a post as this concludes to try to round things out without being too long-winded. what sort of snippets of information did you have in mind? feel free to ask things, i am an open book!

I hear you man, getting this thing done is obv top of your list right now. Snippets of info, I don't know really, I was thinking maybe along the lines of what's been going through your head for the last 4 weeks. Kind of "The mindset of a prop bet situation" in your own words.

Like you say though, time enough for that when the deal is done. I just wanted to add though, I think what you have done/doing is way out there and deserves a huge amount of respect and applause as I'm sure many others will agree. Keep it real.

i appreciate it CB :) (from one CB to another)

i'll try to give as much insight as i can for the finale. i've kept the updates kind of short on the words up until now because i didn't want it to become something dull that nobody would bother reading, and thought the graphs and hands would be more appealing. but it's been a wild month so i'll give it a big finish and just hope it's something people will want to read
