On pace to be close to 100k by the end of the month. Damn.

+1 with $50k on the line he cant afford not to. The wildcard in this whole thing is how far WSOP sets him back.

i hope he gets 2nd to me in wsop so neither of us care about this even anymore and i win both.

Your old enough for wsop this year? TP house imo.

old enough. does any1 know when they start running sattys to wsop? i dont exactly want to buy in.

Is there a rail thread over at PTP? I took a quick look and couldn't find it. Perhaps you could place a link to his rail thread in your OP TP?

Put your glasses on, old man - I did that a long time ago ("Progress Thread" in OP). It's not much of a "rail thread," but he posts quick updates and/or updates the first post with his VPP numbers once or twice per week. When I happen to spot them, I copy and paste them here...

And I see he updated a few hours ago:

1/2 7017 vpps
1/5 15619 vpps
1/8 26318 VPPS
1/10 33559 vpps
1/11 36921 vpps
1/17 53941 vpps
1/19 60982 vpps

God damn it, getting old sucks.

at the conclusion of

1/2 7017 vpps
1/5 15619 vpps
1/8 26318 VPPS
1/10 33559 vpps
1/11 36921 vpps
1/17 53941 vpps
1/19 60982 vpps
1/25 78395 vpps
1/29 85800 vpps

And also:

He's still ahead of pace, but certainly not tons.

Brutal.

Also, I shipped JD's $. I didn't really like that $5k sitting in my account all year, honestly. I always needed to remember that it was there and wasn't to be touched.

Insane
 

I had forgotten about this. I can't imagine he had a very fulfilling year, but I’ve got to hand to him for determination. Hopefully he uses the money to recharge his batteries and do something – anything -- other than just jump up in stakes.

I count myself fortunate that I didn't have it together to take any action on this, because I would have bet big against him. Even reading the thread and following it all play out, it is still hard to believe he could do this.

Looks like he lost 100k last year playing cash games. How much did he win in this prop bet?

son of a bitch, saw this thread and really thought I had 10k coming my way that totally forgot about.

being results oriented, it seems really dumb to have bet against a guy making all his own rules and restrictions. I mean we're basically betting that he thinks he can play way more than he actually can. How should we know?

He lost around $90k playing $200 NL, won around $60-65k from this prop bet, and had another $130k (can't remember - might have been more) or so in bonuses along the way for making SNE.

Actually, the people betting against him made 90% of the rules, and I still think this was an incredibly tough bet for him. It came down to the wire, and he admitted to considering quitting at least a couple of times. Clearly it wasn't a sure thing for us, but I still think it was a good bet.

I thought he wouldn't play that many cash game hands given he could only play three days of the week at them. Then he plays 2 million hands, which I couldn't do even in my most insane driven points of career. Got to congratulate him in the end.
