I saw him playing last night on his webcam and he looked completely drained at the time I saw him. It was at like 3:30 AM.

Big hurdle hit this morning. He decided to try 40 tabling and dropped $100 in the session so now back down around $800 as of earlier this morning. He is going to try to finish this by just nine tabling and concentrating more.

I think it is looking pretty much like a locked in win at this point, but it is still possible. If he can play 100 games a day and average 30% ROI from here out it can be done.

I don't know if anyone else was following the WCG|Rider $10k Prop bet, but he bowed out a couple days ago when it looked like he wouldn't make it and took a $20k loss on the bets.

lol.....I don't know what the idea number is....but I'm sure 40 tabling is way above the optimal number of tables to be playing....especially for someone that has never amount before.

Also 9 is way below too.....pretty sure something around 18-24 (depends on frequency and length of session) tabling is the ideal volume.

My guess is that he is playing about 12-15 hours per day right now.

He is about to crack $1100 in profit through 9 days, but he should have $1500 at the point to be on pace.

I am not sure where the optimal number is as well. If it were me playing I would play up to the number that my ROI dropped to ~15% and at those levels over a significant sample I would hope that would be at least 18. I think I might even try to 24 table 3.40 9 man turbos

According to the thread:

End of Day 10 according to SS, 20 days left, 1/3 of the way done:

1245 games played

$1434 total profit

22% Avg ROI

$1.15 Avg Profit

Pace through 10 days would be a total profit of $1666.67

At this point he is $233 behind pace, ~ 14%

Remarkable achievement, but I don't think he's going to make it. You have to figure the next 20 days will be harder than the past 10, as he just gets sick to death of this.

Agreed. I still think it's impressive that he's even trying this and actually giving it a run.

I actually sent him some TP loot the other day. Hopefully the hat won't be too lucky for him!

He is only about 1 day behind pace at this point, and he has been crushing the 27 mans lately.
