Prop bets grinding
 
Me and Sjay need motivation to grind, and I need motivation to not play above my online roll, so we figured out a plan we're just writing down here so we have it all in writing.

We both start with $10k

We swap 20% of each others action and pay profit at end of month

$500 penalty payed to other person for playing over agreed on stakes, that can change weekly depending on BR, right now 2/4 nl and plo

At end of month:
$500 payed to winner of $ won within said stakes
$500 to whoever played most hands in month in said stakes

thinks that sums up our path to millions

sjay2k 11-25-09 04:14 PM

Going to be a busy month at the office... :)

Spidey44 11-25-09 04:47 PM

Good luck boys... Grind away.

MAYHEM45 11-25-09 04:59 PM

I'd like to get in on this if possible.

JDMcNugent7 11-26-09 11:38 AM

Sounds good, so we'll change it...

10% of your profits go to each other person
$500 from the 2 categories go from the winner to the loser (hands, $ won)

Split up the $500 penalty to be $250 to each person if you play above 2/4 nl or plo

We'll start once both you guys confirm this, and go to the same date on next month.

MAYHEM45 11-26-09 12:35 PM

Works for me, it started at midnite EST this morning tho JD, even tho I havent played any hands yet. Get grinding.

Spidey44 11-27-09 11:53 AM

So does that mean JD owes you $500 already???

953 $10/$20 NLH (2-max) $3,327.00 Nov 26th - 10:40am CST Nov 26th - 12:59pm CST

JDMcNugent7 11-27-09 11:56 AM

no, since mayhem got in we were waiting to confirm start date, i talked to them both about it already.

JDMcNugent7 11-28-09 05:41 PM

At the start of this my ptr had me at $211,571 won, and 430,719 hands

just for easy reference

Talking Poker 11-28-09 09:47 PM

Great prop bet, btw. Should be win-win-win.

Any way I can start in on this beginning December 1st?

MAYHEM45 12-01-09 02:16 AM

JDMcNugent7 12-01-09 03:43 AM

MAYHEM45 12-04-09 08:48 PM

:(.

MAYHEM45 12-05-09 05:23 PM

+6k in 7500 hands. heataments.

sjay2k 12-09-09 08:22 PM

Put in quite a lot of hands on the old turtle account

Currently mayhem and i are up pretty good amounts each

I'm expecting a big comeback from jd to scoop us all though

JDMcNugent7 12-09-09 09:10 PM

I'm down 10k at 2/4 lol, mainly all from HU tabling one guy at 2/4 plo, ONE table, and I dropped 6k lol. He was horrible, and a big loser lifetime, but crushed me. I ran absolutely horrible and def played like a moron towards the end, and since then I've put in like 500 hands lol. After finals I may try to make a huge comeback.

u guys are both doing good tho, poker just isn't like the good ol days of fish everywhere where you could win like 5k in a day at 2/4

sjay2k 12-10-09 07:22 AM

Nearly half way point now, +10,428 from lots of 2/4 omaha'ing

hey at least u get some moneys from us?

lol crashandburnaments.

JDMcNugent7 12-26-09 06:02 AM

This was a terrible month for me to decide to do this, with finals, christmas, and being back home with friends that I only see during christmas had me with like no motivation to play, plus I was sucking anyway. It was fun, and I'd be willing to do it again soon

Talking Poker 12-26-09 11:38 AM

Running good + running bad = Running exactly at expectation.

Neat.



(And yes, I realize looking at all in EV is just one small measure of how one is running, blah blah blah - I just think you have a neat graph).

MAYHEM45 12-26-09 01:11 PM

Yeah I only included that to show how much of a heater I was on to start that had me thinking Omaha was all lollypops and candycanes. Back to reality I guess.

sjay2k 12-27-09 06:18 AM

Finished up a lil over 8k for the month

Incidentally I am on a 7.5k heater at 2/4 in the 30 hrs since we finished

TP pls to be expecting big MGR revenues this month

Talking Poker 12-27-09 07:31 PM

Gladly, sir!

And congrats on the post-bet heater....... nice.

Talking Poker 01-07-10 02:12 PM

Holy crap, dude. All time records broken easily.

I won't share your numbers, but feel free if you want to. That's really impressive. How many hands did you play, and at what stakes?

sjay2k 01-08-10 12:27 AM

I think I played 60k hands at 2/4 plo = ~10k mgr / 2650 rb

Finished roughly +23k from playing for the month of dec (~16k on a crazy 3 day heater at 2/4 around christmas).

Unfortunately I stupidly withdrew almost all my FTP account to moneybookers. I've exceeded my 60 day transaction limit with MB and now i have a big chunk of cash stuck there, that i can't move and not earning interest on. Fail etc.
