M3 is a good choice, but I would go for the 06' Z06. Using chevy's new "454" 7.0 Liter LS7 (its really a 455 but they wanted the nostalgia of the 454). Anyway 500 hp and an all aluminum frame plus the floor board made out of balsawood and carbon fiber composites. You know what this should be in a car forum, but cars are my second passion, after poker...or maybe the other way around. I guess it depends on my luckbox for the day. If its in overdrive ill take poker, if its stuck in first ill take cars... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What limit are you guys playing at?

Raptor, you said the 215s are too tough, are you going to be playing at the 109s?

[/ QUOTE ]

they are NOT too tough with the new level now. they seem much softer than i remember. since the level change, i have taken 2 trips to vegas so havent played much, but did about 500 with good success. holla

i'm lazy, how many would you have to play to get there without rakeback by the end of the month?

i have found that the games have changed in a really strange way since the change. it seems like at all buyin levels, people are busting out in like the same number of hands as they used to, until about the bubble. meaning you're getting 5 and 4 handed about a full level earlier, sometimes 2! than you used to. very odd stuff. additionally this means that there's more "poker" to be played once in the money, meaning a player who knows what he's doing instead of just push folding has chances to have extra advantages deeper in the tournaments.

this should be cake. really. assuming a 5% roi with no rakeback, i have to play 1860.46 sngs, or 93.02 per day. like i said. cake. if i finish 20k earlier, ill take the rest of the month off and play the 11r on stars all day every day. then go drive in my new car. holla

i just never put in the numbers like you do.

Well give me 7-10 days to get up to the 109s and maybe I'll join you. Funny cause this sounds crazy, but 20k is 8% ROI at the 109s, 90 sngs a day for 20 days and I think I could do that.

At the $215s shouldn't you be able to do this actually playing less than you normally do? At 10% it'd only take around what 800 sngs?? That's only 40 a day.

10% 8 tabling 215s isnt quite as easy as everyone that has never done it seems to think.. i never expect to do better than that, and i always set my goals accordingly. holla
