Ha! This is just laughable. 50k hands in a month is completely impossible doing any less than 18 tables at NL200 FR. Good luck.
Can't wait to collect my $$ when this is over.

And lol @ all of you thinking he has any kind of chance HA!

he had three k do the math if he plays at a pace anywhere close that he did today he would kill 50k hands heck if he plays 3000 hands every time he sits down its only going to take him about 17 (16.66) sessions saying its impossible :confused::banghead::dontknow::hmmmm:

Okay, for anyone interested, I'm taking guesses for what combu's actual hand total will be for this. We'll see if any non-regs are following this thread.

$10 on PokerStars to the closest answer.

Minimum 50 posts to guess.

Must guess in this thread, then come back to the thread and post to claim your prize. (I'm to lazy to PM, and this is all to generate activity anyways)

Deadline to guess; Feb 14 ('cause it's midmonth and Valentine's day)


:deal:

combu ineligible to participate, obv.

gogogo!

Hey, it's easier than trying to win the $100 freerolls on Tilt!

38450 - Monoxide
50001 - pantin007
54090 - vanquish
50008 - The Shrog
51093 - sindri_93
42785 - arahel_jazz
51000 - vagas35
50136 - SeanyJ
58123 - Lemlywinks
57501 - naruto_mui

Looks like most people think you're gonna make it combu.

I was hoping this might generate some interest from the less regular members (and those without a bankroll), but oh well, it is what it is.


You're looking good so far.

lol at the amount of guesses over 50k, you all realise if he hits 50k hands, hes pretty much going to stop straight away, 50100 is probably the limit he will hit

We also realise that if he hits his goal with a week to spare there is always a chance that he plays more poker before the month ends.

believe me, that wont happen, firstly he won't finish with a week to spare, and secondly he's a bum so won't keep playing afterwards, unless he is stuck buyins

He might need x amount hands more to finish off a bonus or something. There are always things that at first don't seem obvious.

This is a ridiculousy cool idea. i was wondering if you feel that you are a better cash game player than a tourney player.

aaand i'm officially behind pace already (slightly). tried to play a bit but was still feeling the effects of the hangover, figured it was best to pick up the slack when i'm feeling better. also had a tough time getting into any games not full of regs so spent a decent chunk of the time 6-tabling. will make a proper update some time mid-week

This is a ridiculousy cool idea. i was wondering if you feel that you are a better cash game player than a tourney player.

thanks igrac :)

i'd like to think i'm pretty versatile. i've had some tourney success but i'd probably say i'm better at cash, at least in theory, since i think my postflop game is stronger than my preflop game, and i pride myself on hand-reading and playing deeper stacks. tournaments require a whole different skill set that i haven't developed as much. if i ever go pro at this crazy game i'd definitely do so as a cash player with some tourneys on the side
