Default 1000$ bet that I cant grind out....

My friend wants to bet me that I could not grind out 3000$ by the end of the week playing micro stakes. The bet is 1000$. I start with 300$. I've done things like this before. Do you think I should take his bet? btw, I am primarily a good cash game player on stars and play a lot. just not under this screenname.

thx

There are so many variables here.

What does "grinding out the micros," mean?

Does this mean you have to keep it to $50 and under?

If so, 60 buy-ins in a week is pretty rough.

If you play 10k hands a day, you need to run higher than 5 PTBB/100, which isn't too hard... but 10k hands per day at any stake is rough.

Still a huge ask. I would not take the bet in your position, but GL if you go ahead with it and let us know how you get on.

So you are a 10/20 player dropping down to 100nl to win a 1k bet. Nice work.
