I\'m a pro and the 60k in 60 days challenge
 
I'm now officially a professional poker player, independently financially supporting myself through poker, hurray! To celebrate, lower RoR and because I feel like it, I am doing the 60k in 60 days challenge. Also, right before I became pro, I went on a few massive tilt benders for 5 figure losses, so I think this will help with discipline growth. For those of you wondering why I am "pro" now, I was rejected for readmittion by my university for problems out of my control. I spend my days smoking, playing video games, playing poker and [censored] college girls. It's not as great as it sounds.

I will be 4-6 tabling 10/20 6max on party. I've never put in lots of hours over an extended period of time, so this will be a new experience for me. It will be a bit of a paycut from 2-3 tabling 30/60, but it's a lot easier to do. I guess I will either post updates in here or start a journal. There is a problem. I only have 3k in party and it's tough for me to deposit more money so let's hope I don't go on a downswing at first!

$3k is definitely low to start, but hopefully things go well early and you are able to stick it out. Keep the updates coming. GL.

Kurosh, this challenge is far beneath your abilities. I can't help but recommend a "60k in 60 minutes" challenge. I think you have the strength, determination, and most of all game selection to make this happen

You're confusing kurosh with baronzeus.

Easy misunderstanding, but bz plays high and runs awesome, whereas kurosh takes the same shots and frequently doesn't run awesome.

This what highlighted the other day when Neverwin sat down at some table and bz declined to play him in a SH situation. Kurosh didn't comment, but I assume that's because he tripped on something in a mad scramble to log on and spray chips.

10 days is the over/under on how long until he either:

A) Goes busto.
B) Gets $5,000 and decides that's enough for $100/200.
C) Goes busto after jumping up in limits.
D) Fails miserably by running bad.

man you should work for pinnacle sports. Your analysis is spot on. That being said Kurosh is by far my favorite poster, seen him buyin for 5BB play 1 hand and leave. ROFL do you go on tilt at 5BB a pop and keep rebuying kurosh?

LOL he says he smokes, plays video games, and bang dumb college girls. How can he not be our god? Anyways I know the type and can't see him putting the hours for thousands of hands over an extended time. Nor do I think he can simply play as low as 10/20 without getting bored and moving up.

Kurosh if you go on a 50 bet downer you won't even be able to buyin at 4 10/20 tables.

Personally, I wouldn't mind just observing you at the tables in an attempt to learn something.

Ok, I played about 1500 hands of 10/20. I was up about 1k early, then at the end of the session I was down $70. I got pissed off and there were two fish sitting at 30/60 HU and I thought "why am I doing this?" and proceeded to play with them. F this. I realized 5 minutes into it there was no way I could do this for more than a few days.

I didn't misplay any hands against you imo. I called you down on that 4 flush board (correctly) because you seemed weak and I thought you were going to bet any river.
