18.5k Hand PLO session, Day 1 SNE Prop

insanee, keep it up!

anyone still willing to bet against this at 2.5:1? pm.

this is seriously the dumbest prop bet ever. if you fail not only will lose you 15k but you will lose god knows how much money playing because you play horrible playing 15 hours a day 24 tabling plo. why not try to actually get better at omaha and just put in a good amount of hours to get to like 500k vpp instead of barely making money after getting rakeback and bonuses back.

seriously omaha is not like NL. you can 16-24 table nl and be like a 1-2ptbb winner. omaha you need to focus to win and if you look at the difference between being a -2ptbb rakeback grinder and being a 4ptbb winning game selector/grinder then youd probably think twice about this method of play.

i guess if you are pretty sure youll make it to SNE its an ok idea but man you are really putting lots of time and hours into something that you could get a much bigger return if you played good rather than mindless roboting your way through it. put your dedication to use man

I mentioned something about that in my original blog post for the prop bet Daut. The first 2 months after relocating I have been trying to do that exactly, play less tables/game select, focus more and overall the results haven't been what I wanted pretty much due to tilting off in certain spots with the slow paced action. I was like yea I can be a 3/4ptbb winner playing 6-8 tables and be fine with that but for some reason thats just not something I could adjust to and my bankroll was taking a hit. I was also being pretty lazy when it came to playing (lazy in like 6 hours/day). I'm not really sure what I am going to do after Canada, might stay back in USA for a bit and just kind of take it easy. If I can be successfull with this prop and get sne it will be about 135k in a 2.5 month time span with not much variance at all. I might lose 5-10k playing but that is the cost of doing buisness essentially. There is absolutely no way I would be able to make that sort of money variance free but playing higher stakes. I'm not doing anything else with my time so why not challenge myself and do something wild. Some people play poker to be challenged or get the heart pumping and this is what does it for me I guess.


I wouldn't make this bet if I didn't think there was a 99.9 percent chance I could make it to SNE as well,

well if you will make it then it is good for you to at least have the 5x multiplier for next year, but coming from someone who had a ftp deal and tried to maximize rakeback in low variance ways instead of maximize profits for a few years now, i wish i did the opposite during that time period.

and even 6-8 tables in plo is a lot. its very hard to think through all decisions when playing more than 4 i find. after a certain point adding more tables doesnt hurt you and you probably are better off playing 15 than 6, but you are much better off playing 4 than 6.

i do understand that it takes a lot of concentration to play less tables and does burn you out faster. i have found as well that my time playing increases as my # of tables increases as well, but my god my winrate skyrocketed when i started playing less tables, and with a higher winrate comes less variance at higher stakes and higher potential profits. i think if we try to learn from anyone on this site it should be longple who was successful as a masstabling rakeback grinder, but really turned it into big profits when not doing so.

even if you never make the switch and always stay a rb grinder, id suggest that after this challenge is over you probably spend at least a few hours a week playing a few tables rather than mass tabling to try and build some new muscle memory up and improve your overall game.

Sorry to shit in your cereal, but this is not possible unless you're juicing/using HGH. Ya, you can put on 10 lbs in a month no problem, but there's no way it's gonna be muscle, or even half muscle.

Man u should be more focused on ur cardio then gaining muscle. Your gonna need endurance to get thru this.

good time to play joeingram at 50plo...
