A challenge to myself (and a propbet too)

Hobbes

Ok.

In 2011, I got much better at playing the 45 mans up to $7 and multitabling them. In order to get out of my BR nittiness, I've decided that for 2012 to provide myself an incentive.

I will achieve Platinum Star at least once in 2012 playing only 45/180 man turbos. This means that I'll needing to play at the $30 level (or I'd slit my wrists) at some point in the year.

Platinum Star needs 1363.63 in rake paid.
At the $30 level for 45 mans I need to play 581 games in a month.

As added incentive, I'm gonna propbet this.
My $10 to your $5. I'll take a max of $200 in bets. All bets will be self escrow.

Sharkscope shall be the final arbiter. I will provide a screenshot for the month I hit Platinum .
I must show an ROI of 15% for the month to count for the prop bet.

Any takers?

Cerb $5 Pd on PS
JohnnieH $10 - Paid
Wolffhound $10 - Paid at Royal
actyper $20 - Pd on PS
GTA $50 - Said to donate the $
moose $10 - Pd on PS
wes $20 - Paid
Vekked $75

The prop is that you can play 132 games in a month? Don't think you'll get many takers...a more standard prop would be that you can obtain a certain ROI over a certain volume of games in a certain amount of time.

GL.

Nope.

If I can reach the $30 level in 45/180s this year that's 132 games at the $30 level. I've never played that high online.

My main objective is to get Gold Star playing these. I'd slit my wrists trying to achieve this at the low levels :)

I can add an ROI definitely.
This is mainly for shits an giggles and to provide some incentive for me

What's your current BR/ROI and your rule for moving up a level?

I'm in for $5 and the bleary eyed awesomeness next December of you going for the gusto to try do this. There should be at least one 24 hour session, complete with time lapse photography slide show (20-30 second intervals) to really make it awesome :D

GTA Poker;292176 wroteWhat's your current BR/ROI and your rule for moving up a level?

Really wasn't going for any BR management rules since I could reload. But I generally like 50BI for each level that I play. So for $30 I'd need a BR of $1500. Right now I have about $700 online.

Not about to go broke trying to win $200 bet.

just a slight derail but the 180 man grinders had a comp to see who could pound the most beer in a 24 hour time period while grinding....

...might have to show the kids what jedi drunk means....

JohnnieH

I'm in for $10.

Good luck!

Gold is way too easy and he has 12 cracks at it. should be 12:1 at least IMO, probably 20:1. 'Course more odds he gives, the more likely he is to do it. Catch 22 props - Hobbes is no fool at taking easy money. He probably made a New Year's Resolution to see how many suckers he could take in 2012.

You should be asking how many VPP's he does per month.

I have NEVER been Silver (maybe once)
This is just doing 45/180 mans.
At $7 I'd have to run 900 in a month which again I've never done.

Yeah I forgot all the driving you do. Let's see - Feb is out, short month, plus Family day plus reading week. End of term, so Apr is out. Sept out, ditto. Oct out - Thanksgiving. Dec - out. What day is the end of the world BTW?

Never made Silver? Honestly Hobbes, why didn't you state the real goal of this prop is to stop being a nit.
