My buddy is a poker player and the other day we were talking and decided to make a bet. Its a race to get our BR to 1k. It isnt a huge bet but I bet him $200 that I would beat him there. Now there is no set time on this bet, its just whoever gets their first wins. Stats must be tracked as well for proof.

Here is the difference. My friend is a straight up NL MTT player. I am a LHE cash game player. I do play a tournament every now and then. His scores would be a lot bigger but a lot less frequent than mine but I win more consistently then him.

I made this bet because straight up my friend is an idiot and thinks he is good at poker becaue he has 2 decent scores but he really has nothing to show for it because he had to pay off his debt. He also has terrible BR management... I dont even know if he knows what it is. He also goes on terrible tilt and gets way to tricky a lot of the time. Ive seen him play a lot and I just dont really think hes good at all. He tries to justify some of his moves to me like raising with 39o and stuff but really he just sounds like an idiot. I think because I am a better player (maybe a bit of ego there but seriously I am) and because I actaully follow strict BR management that I am going to beat him there.

Right now I am about 1/3 of the way there with a BR of $325. I am playing $.25/.$50 LHE 6 max right now and crushing it. Soon Im going to move up and I think from there it should be pretty clear sailing. He will not win this bet plaiyng tourneys because 1. He doesnt play big buy in tourneys and when he wins he usually dumps a lot of it back to the community at cash games + he has no BR management and 2. He is a pretty inconsistent player and tilts way to hard. I got this!

Going to grind now. Ill update later
Good Luck today everyone
