personal challenge and zoo contest

[cball86]

due to a large stale run at the party 33's and my up coming bill for the fall semester at michigan state i wanted to do some kind of persoal quest that will hopefully get my self out of a minor slump and raise some much needed money. starting tuesday at noon im gonna try and play 24 hours of straight sng's. im sorry if i am wasting anyones time by posting this useless thread but i need some kind of motivation to distract me from the fact that im gonna go hard for 24 hours. if you guys would like i will take guesses on how many sng's(party 33's) i will be able to get in during a 24 hour session with 25 bucks sent on empire to the winner(i know its not alot but 25 bucks is 25 bucks). i mostly play 4 tables but i might go to 6 during the night hours when the games are the best. ill most likely take a couple breaks along the way to eat and rest my eyes. heres some random stats on my recent play AT THE 33'S.

last 500

ROI 17.3
ITM 41.9%

last 100

ROI 2.9%
ITM 36.8%

i will take guesses up to noon on tuesday. please guess my roi in the event of a tie. i dont post much im a lurker, but my success in poker would not have been possible without the help of 2+2. sorry again if i have wasted anyones time and thanks in advance for anyones support.

100 SnGs. You will inevitably fall asleep at some point.

[The Don]

If you are 4 tabling I will say 116 games and a 12% ROI

[Isura]

Dude, buy a $100 crt monitor off ebay and 8-table for god's sake. You will go insane trying to do this. Good luck anyways. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[nate_king1]

GL. Hope you make $8/Tourney to help pay for college. College is expensive, trust me I know.

[xLukex]

90 is my guess.

ive got 2 17 inch lcd's , my problem with 8 tableing is when it gets down to the bubble. it seems like things are moving way to fast and i cant make the correct moves when i need to.

[HonestIago15]

19% ROI

If you were to start 4 tournies and then start 4 more at the middle of level 3 this would help with your bubble woes... assuming you don't already do this.

[proell]

first my guess... 85 (5%ROI)

now, my reaction.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

This is a terrible way to approach both of these goals. A 24-hour run of SNGs is bound to lead to some terrible play at points, and could spell disaster for your bankroll and confidence. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think it's a very -EV strategy.

Do it for fun, but not to get out of a slump or to make extra $$$.

[cball86]

i know what you mean, i know that it is very bad to set any kind of money amount as a goal. if things start to really go down hill ill stop my self from doing anything stupid. if i start getting burnt to the paint i cant play good poker it would be stupid to continue.

[Maulik]

78 is my guess & 14.5% is my ROI guess.

gl

=\

84 Games
ROI of 15%

Good luck

[Superfluous Man]

I'll guess an even 90 with an ROI of 8%. Sounds like you're already kind of tilted, and you're a Spartan, so I'll adjust my numbers down accordingly. Maybe you can get Jeff Smoker to give you some of his "magic alertness powder" to help you with this quest.

P.S. Go Blue, 10/30/04 45-37 ship it.

Would anyone seriously do this NOT to make money (for "fun")? This would make me hate poker for like a month.

[astarck]

114 at 7.5% ROI

[Nicholasp27]

definitely +ev to guess at this...

101@11% for 366.63 profit - 25 to winner = 341.63 + 25% rb (75.75)=417.38

[MegaBet]

Hey what's your username? I may drop down to the 33s just so I can win $ off a tired player who will probably be tilting.

I kid /images/graemlins/grin.gif GOOD LUCK!

[acIdREIGN462]

I say 94 at 9% ROI

Good luck!



AcidReign

You guys arent giving this man enough credit, Ill post the highest guess of 122, with an ROI of....lets say....13%(ill be generous /images/graemlins/wink.gif).

**Rob schnieder voice**: YOU CAN DO IT!!!

[ChoicestHops]

I dont think a marathon run, especially 24 straight hours, is very smart, but good luck to you.

I'll put you at 104 SnG's. For your quest, may I suggest..

i think im gonna go to sleep around 8 tonight so that ill have at least some energy reserve. staying awake wont be my biggest problem as a teenager im used to staying up through the night. my real concearn is getting poker a.d.d. and letting bordem effect my decisions. but im not on tilt, and im not stupid i just want some kinda quest to entertain my friends and my self. i think ill throw an update in every 6 hours or so with the last one coming at noon wensday.

heres my own prediction.

150 sng's
15% roi
+ 27% rakeback on empire = .81 per sng


the name ill be playing on is theduke8605(empire) and c_ball86(party) if anyone wants to play or watch.

[networkman]

Good luck to ya!

147 (I really like that number) and 14.7 /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[cball86]

here we go, its gonna be a long day

[Maulik]

you make me want to play a lot tonight =\

[brimstone1]

If I can still reply, I think you're going to fall way short of your 100 goal and be done at 65-70.
ROI %10

[cain06]

83, 10% ROI.

[cball86]

this is embarrasing, i cant win a heads up match. im having some coin flip issues. 18 hours left to turn things around

[cball86]

well its all over, im just waking up its 3 in the afternoon. i didnt make it the entire 24 hours that i wanted, i felt that around 8 am that i wanst capable of playing good poker anymore. i finished with a total of 99 sng's and an roi of 7%. not what i was hoping for but not bad considering the start that i had. the winner is durron597 who happened to make the very first guess. drop me a pm with your empire screen name and ill send u the 25 bucks. thanks for everyones support. maybe by the next time i decide to do something like this it will be at the 200+15's.
