Default Re: 100K hands in a month possible?

the problem is no one will offer a high prop bet, b/c those that would be accepting the bet don't have 50-100k to pay if they lose. It's a losing proposition in my mind.

i couldn't think of anything worse than playing 100k+ hands per month. I think the maximum I've ever played is 30k hands. Granted I'm not a pro, but poker becomes far less enjoyable playing loads of tables for large numbers of hours.

i sure could think of a lot of worse things to do for a month than playing 100k hands of poker. i think this is a LOT harder for high stakes players to imagine because so much more goes into the game. if you are just grinding out very low stakes, there isn't a whole lot of thinking that needs to go into playing optimally. you'd just be bored out of your mind. if you are trying to do this playing 10/20 and above, well, that's where it would get brutal.

I would insist on the money being fronted by both parties to a reputable middle-man. There's no way I'm just going to take someone at their word that I will be paid if I win...and I wouldn't expect them to just take me at my word either.

Had a brief stretch "between jobs" where I worked as a security guard for $7/hr or something silly.
5 or 6 days a week of 12.5 hour shifts that had me wanting to kill myself from boredom and general misery...and obviously this was a LOT less than $100k.

yeah seriously, work a real job for sh*t wage and online poker starts looking a lot better.

i mean, its still mindless and retarded for the volume unless you're [censored] redargoe, but its 6 figures compared to the crap wages of other jobs.

500k hands of 5/10 fixed limit, with a positive winrate before rakeback. If I had 100k to throw around I would bet against anyone in the world with those terms. But I don't of course so nm. Someone with money make this happen plz.

I'm a losing player at 5/10 limit 6-max except MAYBE when I'm playing 3 or fewer tables so I would not take this bet unless I was given significant odds.
I prefer to do this bet at NL I think but wouldn't mind if I was allowed to mix it up.

A couple players who I think could pull it off at 5/10 6-max would be chezlaw and marchinvest2. Not sure I would front the money for them or anything...but they would have a chance.
