Summer Proposition - Can I Win It?

[stigmata]

Contrary to what other people have said, this is prefectly do-able. I pretty much did the same thing in the same amount of time.

However, there is quite a big jump from 2/4 to 3/6. Adapting to 6-max games can also take a while. You will be learning to play these games, so I would advise against multi-tabling at the start. To be honest, I thinky you would be better off making sure you learnt the game *really well* over the summer (e.g. do lots of poker reading also), so that you will have a continuous income stream for the rest of college. To win your bet, you will really need to hit the ground running at both 3/6 and 5/10. This is a matter of both luck and skill.

Making $20k is possible, but I it is probably safer to set targest about learning rather than earning.

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.

I agree.
The winning isnt the hard thing for new players it's the losing.Learning to gamble well does not come easily..it's usually perfected only after making several horrid mistakes along the way....it takes a little bit of time for all but the best.Why such a hurry?You could be ruining a great oppurtunity to learn the game and have alot of fun by putting too much pressure on yourself.

Speaking of full games, does anyone have the url to that velocitization (spelling?) thread where someone is moving back to full games from 6-max?

Velocitization from 6max

I think you can make 20K in one month of playing $5-10 6MAX including rakeback.I studied the proposition last month.I think I may try this in May.
You would have to work your ass off every day.If you could manage to play 3K hands roughly 32 table-hours at 95 hph every day it is easily doable.You could 4-table for 10 hours a day which may yield you a multi-table ratio ~3.2 tables per hour or 6-table it for ~7.00 hrs. which may yield a multi-table ratio of ~4.50 w/ some game selection and breaks mixed in there..You could split this into 2 sessions a day or play just one..The rakeback alone will net you $210 a day.Assume a mediocre earn of 1.50bb/100 which is realistic for this because you will be pushing the envelope..you could net $450 a day for a total including rakeback of $660 a day..yes you would have to play every day of the month or run fairly good and keep your focus to make this goal..but it can be done I think..just a matter of discipline and whether you can stave off the burnout.For the Month Rakeback:$6300 Earn:$13,500 Total $19,800.

I may attempt a 10K per week-type quest this summer, something like 60K in 6 weeks. I would do it at 10/20 6-max and would include rakeback in the total earnings.

I think it's great for you to set goals, but I don't think it's a good idea to make a side bet on it. If you don't make it, you can readjust your goals and proceed onward to sucess with a revised plan and/or timeframe; but if you have a bet on it, it creates a failure situation where none needed to exist.
