How are the teeth? I would not feel like playing 200 SnGs in a day after I got my 4 out. Bed and a good movie worked for me.

you should check in with the Yugoslav - no way you get to 1,000 but I think he did something like 500 in 5 days....funny thread too! (can't seem to find it though!)

Dude you ain't playing no 1000 SNGs immediately after you get your wisdom teeth pulled.

Gonna slack off the first day? Only 15 hours? You'll fall behind. Haha, I'm just kidding. Seriously, don't kill yourself doing this. I bet 99% of 2+2 posters would not be able to pull this off. Only one that comes to mind is raptor.

Doesn't sound so bad. I'd bet that I could do it at the 11s 8-tabling, although I'd rather 12.

I hope you don't but I predict you will go broke. Good luck though sir.

miami32 09-23-2005 07:42 PM

75 in the book
 
I've taken a couple breaks but I've gotten 75 in. I've also taken some terrible beats along the way but what can yah do. I'm not broke, and I'm still playing the 10+1. I won't be able to give actual stats till the end of the night when I input the data to poker tracker. I will keep everyone updated. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I couldnt even stand up for about 12 hours after I had mine out. I did manage to give some sweet high-fives to the nurses right after the surgery.

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
I will lay odds that you will not get this done unless you plan on 12 tabling, and even then, it will be very difficult.

Edit: I made a challenge at the end of July to get in 2000 by the end of august. I failed by about 100 (even though i 4 tabled early in the challenge.)

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
unless there was a bet that this couldn't be done and the bet was for something like $1000+, i dont think anyone would manage

it'd take some very very sick motivation (and hopefully at least three monitors) to pull this off

The Don 09-23-2005 09:06 PM

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
No way you are completing this. Make it something reasonable like 500.

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
it's gonna be tough but guy got his wisdom teeth removed earlier in the day and the Vicodin's probably kicking in hard now so maybe he can pull an allnighter and get ahead for tomorrow's run?? Everyone proposing bets ain't gonna get any takers IMO.

Vicodin=all nighter? hahaha, more like vicodin equals sleeping for 12 hours in the middle of the day....i got vics when i hurt my back and i thought id get more poker in, fell asleep during 4 multis and was out of all 4. vicodin is not a good thing for 17 hour days

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
Best of luck dude. If you're able to actually play all 1,000 you're sure made of different stuff. Not to be a doubter, but I highly doubt you'll be able to do it. Good luck all the same.

Wait do I even need to explain anything, or can I just point it out?

I don't want to X, so I decide to X. (X is obviously the same)

hey I hear ya but sometimes that alcohol/vicodin buzz can go on for days!!

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
on second thought, if he's been on Vicodin and just had his wisdom teeth removed playing 75 STTs is pretty unbelievable. When I had mine out I couldn't stand up for 4 hours afterwards....wow!

Yeah, you can't make a post like this and not provide updates.

USCSigma1097 09-24-2005 09:28 AM

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
He's not giving updates because he probably played about 100 SNGS and got his face beat in....BECAUSE HE PLAYED 100 SNGS THE DAY HE GOT HIS WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTED!?!?!?

If he really wants to go do something dumb, he should take out his gauze and eat peanuts all day, maybe he'll get dry sockets. That would just as painful as playing 100+ SNGS in a day with medicine head and would cost a lot less money.

That or maybe he can get one of his friends to kick him in the balls repeatedly. Either one of these would be a better idea than this dumb challenge and cost less money.

Or he's now in the hospital, with big eyes, constantly yelling "ALL-IN!! PUUSHH! YOU CAN'T BEAT MY QT. HAAAHAHAAA!".

Why are you all hating? Sure, his challenge is probably impossible, but at least let the guy have a shot before shooting him down.

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
I just had my wisdoms removed last week. I missed 3 days of class and work, and pretty much just watched TV all day and ate ice cream. The pain and irritation was too much to do anything else.


Also, what are you goals here besides just playing a bunch of games? ROI? ITM? and are you even a winning sng player? whats your sng resume like?

Well its highly dependant on the person. For all we know he could had a horrible time and be puking all afternoon.

Update #1
 
Last night I got in 182 SNG tournaments. I have yet to put them in poker tracker because all the summaries are sitting in my yahoo account but here is the gist of it. 182x$11=2002 investment. ROI=37% +$740.

As for my wisdom teeth. I got the bottom and top left side removed. It didn't hurt that bad. They didn't cut them out, they just pulled them out. Not to bad really. I'm on the high end tylenol, and saving the vicadin. I've been able to function pretty well.

I went to bed at 5 in the morning last night and have just woke up. I will start playing at 6 I guess and go till whenever I stop.

As for if I'm winnning SNG player, yes I am. I normally play ring games, but I needed a break. I normally 4 table between 10/20 and 15/30. I started playing SNG about three months ago and lurking in this part of the forum. I do really well in 10-30, pretty good in the 50, 100s ok, and I flat out get torn up in the 200s. I don't think I'm a winning player at the 200 level.

I think that pretty much sums up all the questions. Talk to you guys later

miami32 09-24-2005 03:49 PM

Re: miami32\'s 1,000 SNG challenge in 5 days
 
Oh and I'm playing 20+2 today. And make no doubt about it the ROI at the end of the day is def. suffering. Also, I have adopted a strategy that if I get short stacked early, I go into auto move in mode to either get lucky or bust out fast and move on to the next SNG.

1C5 09-24-2005 03:53 PM

Re: Update #1
 
182 in a day? Mostly 8 tabling right?

Insane, I am impressed. Nice ROI also. Keep it up!

miami32 09-24-2005 03:54 PM

another reply to what people have been saying
 
As for everyone who has been saying I can't do it, what if I can't. OMG, who cares? This is just something I have done to challenge myself. I think I have tried to emphasize that as this post has gone on, but what can yah do. I hope I can do it, I plan on doing it, so I guess we will see.

miami32 09-24-2005 03:56 PM

Re: Update #1
 
8 tabling mixed in with some 12 tabling. I don't do 12 tables to well though. I never got below 8 though.

TomHimself 09-24-2005 04:11 PM

Re: Update #1
 
so do you have a dual monitor?


OMG its impossible and you wont do it
