Summer Proposition - Can I Win It?

[helpmeout]

26k hands at low limits 4 tabling.

You are a beginner only 3.25bb/100, thats nothing special at those limits with that few a hands.

You'd be better off in aiming to become a better player not set yourself a goal to make a certain amount of money.

Making bets with friends is pretty dumb, its a good way to lose them.

40k in 3 months playing 5/10, is going to be down right impossible for a typical player, let alone a good player. I am assuming roughly 80-100 hours.

Playing full time, you still have to be good, but you will have to have the tenacity to withstand tilt and burn out.

I can't quite tell if you were being sarcastic, but I stand by statement.

[TStoneMBD]

he was being sarcastic. notice the dream remark.

[Subfallen]

Don't take the bet unless you're getting 9-1 odds or better, I wouldn't give you more than a 10% chance of succeeding. Not only do you lack historical precedent of winning at 5/10, but there is absolutely no reason to believe that you won't run bad for your first 20k hands. Unless you have world-class mental toughness, this would be killer.

If however you do end up taking the bet, I think 4-tabling 60 hours a week with a 30% rakeback deal would let you make the bet at break-even play.

wow, I think I need to quit posting on these forums. Im so [censored] dumb sometimes it isnt even funny. I swear I read 20/hr, not 20K. *sigh*

no, you cant do it.

This post interests me...I've just made the switch from 2/4 to 5/10 a few weeks ago....I was a huge lag right away..I'm not sure what my BB/hour is, but I made 4k really fast....Then I lost like, 2k just as fast, so obviously I need to tighten up...

I'm getting the hang of it now, and I was thinking I could make around 20k over the summer...but I guess you guys think that it isn't that probable??

[tolbiny]

Its doable, just difficult, time consuming and you probably wouldn't want to play any more afterwards, overall not worth it.

the dream remark may have meant "i want to ultimately reach that"...just wanted to shatter his dream just in case. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
