Week-long prop bet
 

I have one week to turn $5 on PokerStars into $1000. No freerolls, just me on the account, no friends dumping to me, nothing sly or underhanded.

Currently at $5.22. Began at 8 PM EST.

Good luck sir. SNGs permitted? I figure it can't be too hard once you get to ~150$.

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

Well, I'm down to $4.19, so it might not take long for you to get your wish.

Yup, SNGs are allowed. Big part of my plan. First I have to stop running so bad at $.02/$.04.

If you looking for more action, i'll take a small bet of my $250 to your $200 that you dont do it, seeing as tho you lost 1/6th your BR already.

Thanks.

BTW, If your friend is good and adjusts I think he's a favorite to win >75 of them. For a while I was running at approximately that clip at higher stakes. Admittedly small sample, but I also knew less about HU PLO8 than I do now.

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

care to share what kind of odds you have on the bet?

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

couldnt u have gotten more than even money? starting with only 5 bucks there is a pretty high shot of busto... if it was like 20 or something like that i can see even money.

I would go as far as saying and half decent SNGer should win over 70% at $5, if the few occasions I have played them are anything to go by the play is just laughable- and I suck

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

Update:

Down to $2.15.

Hail Mary: 2-tabling $1 NL.

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

for some motivation. The first time i bought on a poker site I bought in 50 dollars. I got down to 78 cents and made it up all the way to 16,000 from that low point just playing real smart. It can happen, just will your mind and you might be able to do it.

$5.05. Almost exactly $.01/hr so far.

Pretty sure I overestimated my psychological tolerance for multitabling microstakes.

So I actually feel bad about this. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. If you want to take my side, you can get plenty of action here -- I'm at $5.15 as of the beginning of this post. If you want the other side... sure, I'll make an exception and give you a little action.

--Nate

Re: Week-long prop bet
 

No NL is involved Nate?

$300 means plenty to me. I thought I was a pretty big favorite. Now I'm not so sure.

Anyway, somewhere along the line I got some gamble in me.
