Big prop bet on 2+2 atm is someone trying to earn 600k Vpp's from yesterday to dec 31st playing 1/2 and 2/4nl 6max, in an attempt to earn SNE. He already has 400k obv.

He will be 24 tabling 6max, wtf! and the stipulation is he has to make a profit, x2 wtf!!!

Here's the link to the webcam verification Justin.tv - pokerpoopy's channel - Live Streaming Video

I would be extremely surprised if he wins this bet!

Holy shit. On a similar note, WCGxxRider, the same guy who attempted the $10k month at 25nl prop bet (and failed miserably) is in a similar situation only 24-tabling 200nl FR to reach sne with 612k to go (as of 10/16). He is also attempting to win $100k by the end of the year. The guy's insane. No prop bet this time though .

 

[eNTy]

Even if he doesn't make it, but makes a x2 profit, or even a profit peroid, that would be insane in my book .

Isn't 6max extremely hard to multi-table that big profitable ?

 

[switch0723]

ye i saw this and if he makes it to the end of the year 3 things will happen (not 1 of, all 3)

1. he wont make SNE
2. he won't make any profit
3. he will be feeling very sick from lack of eating properly, sleeping properly any king of socialising


If i were a 2+2 reg, id def be putting money against even though its 6:1 or something like that.


p.s. i ran at 1bb/100 which feel ridiculously awsome after the weekends horrow show. Also this has been the first time i havnt blown my bankroll by going on tilt when running bad ( minus a 400bl HU shot of course, where i played 2 hands vefore villain sat out phew)

Edit: i havnt kept up to date with the thread but doesnt he have to play for like 18 hours a day from now until the end of the year? Which is like more hands/day than wcg rider and for a much longer time frame

 

[Monoxide]

How is 24 tabling 6 max even possible? I struggle with 9 tables of FR... I guess 24 FR is possible obv, but hard....

but 6 max? wtf??? its like.... way faster for the most part, it would be like 36 tabling FR.

 

[Jagsti]

He needs 8200 vpps/day, playing 200 and 400nl 6max so maybe avg say like 0.55vpps/hand at best.

He has to be looking at something like 16k hands/day minimum imo. 24 tabling 6max, idk, maybe like 1800 hands/hr.

So it's pretty sick all round, and not only that he has to achieve a profit!

 

[icemonkey9]

On a CARDSCHAT related note, here's how it's been going for me ... basically since my breakeven start to the month I've been handling 50nl very well. Enjoy the graph + the stats over the stretch of the last 7,770 hands (which is where I started back at $0 and went UP UP and AWAY). Also, I am staying humble, hopefully this keeps up.

I think they said it was like 0.45vpps/hand which makes it so much harder. I'd guess it will be something like 2000 hands/hr for like 9 hrs or something like that. Not only is he 24 tabling 6 max, but he is doing it without an HUD lol (prob couldn't even look at an HUD in the time you have to make a play i guess).

I bet he coudl make SNE, but i just can't see him managing to pull out a profit playing like 10 hrs a da, every day, 24 tabling with no HUD 200nl 6max. The regulars will know about this soon enough and will just be able to destroy him unless he is like the sickest player alive because you just can't 24 table for that long of a period (will just destroy you mentally) and be able to keep up with a competent player who knows what sort of stress you are under. You'd have to be immune to tilt to stand a chance here given all the pressure you'd be put under.

Would be so incredibly sick if he did it tho and i really hope he does.

Oh yea, and apparantly his modem breaks and internet constantly dies so i'm thinking he is regreting this right about now...

Month so far has been a mixed bag...running pretty good at 8BB/100 and but have hardly played any hands at all. I'm can't play again until the last few days of Oct. coz i have so much school and i somehow need to find the time to get another 1000vpps just to get goldstar lol, so i may have to play nl100 FR or something...because that would take like 12+ hrs of HU play and there is just no way i can find that much time to play by the end of the month.

I don't know whether to be happy I'm back up again today or pissed that I had the first part.

WTF else would he have!

Villain is 24/4/2 FBBTS 50% and 3bet 4%

I realize when he 3 bets he likely has a better than average hand but damn!

[bw07507]

Last few days have been swing city, but I guess I can't complain with the results too much and I definitely tilted in that last 5 BI swing. Pretty pissed at myself since I've really been good lately.

 

[SeanyJ]

So I finally bit the bullet and bought a new computer since my old one was absolutely awful. I'm really glad I did it, since now I have 2, 22 inch monitors running and I love it. 24 tabling is so much easier when my computer isn't lagging every time I need to make a decision. I just played for 2.6 hours and got 3,579 hands in. I think I'll be playing much more often now. Oh it's 25NL if that wasn't obvious

 

[Paranormal]

holy shit seany lol you played as many hands as me in a day!!!!!!!!!!!


k guys serious question

when multitabling are you guys full ring or 6max? im begining to think that i will be losing value the more tables i play at 6max simply because the play will have to tighten up right? and most money made at 6max is from a loser style i think. can someone post about a 5k hands poker tracker and tell how many tables they play?


with showdon vs non if possible..

i really want to start multi but im trying to figure out if i should 6max or full or if this is even best for me..

 

[eNTy]

LOL over 2 grand in NSD winnings
Is this standard for 6 max ? (A high NSD winnings graph)

 

[Paranormal]

i have no idea enty. i just got poker tracker and i am just now taking this serious. im looking for insight on how to disect my graphs and stats from the people with more knowledge on this

 

[Jagsti]

Today's goal: 10k hands....... Only 7k to go

I can 6 table 6-max and still play ~25/22, so its definitely possible to keep your game and add tables playing 6max. Just add one at a time until you are totally comfortable, then add another. Don't try adding like 4 extra tables at once or something crazy like that. Its really not that hard after u put a a thousand hands or so in with each new table.

lol at the fact i aim for 800 hands a day 2 tabling HULHE, i feel so lame

 

[Munchrs]

Paranormal: Was that all 1 tabling?

I think as you increase tables your NSDW will go down as you wont be able to get as good a reads on players and make all the c bets and blusffs at the correct times as often.
