Are you missing a 0 in there somewhere? This is horrible for 100000 hands, unless you are playing .05/.10, then good job [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Give the dude a break. I'm amazed he's able to play break-even poker... He's playing like 500 hands an hour for like 6 hours a day on top of a job. I would be hemmoraging cash. Hah.

-Todd

And though I think there's something sick and wrong with this much poker... I commend you for your work ethic. Good luck, Doyle!

Thanks, Todd. Believe me, I am more disappointed than anyone about my miniscule win rate. With that being said I think some people are totally discounting the value of the WSOP trip I am going to win. Value of trip: $ 13,000, True points: $ 700.00 (approximately) plus whatever I hopefully end up winning once this challenge is completed. A winning 1 BB/100 hands $3/$6 player (including rakeback) would have to play 237,883 hands to equal this value.

And I also agree that there is something sick... very, very sick about playing this much poker in this amount of time and I would not recommend it for anyone else. And you are also right about my work ethic, it is "the workaholic" in me that allows me to do this. And I am working this hard at it because I view the value I will be receiving for this at the end of this challenge worth it.

Thanks again.

No disrespect sir, but I challenge you to play over 91,000 hands in 29 days (3 days of this challenge I only played 24 hands) while also working a full time job and let's see where your win rate ends up.

If I played 90,000 hands in 30 days and only won $500 I'd shoot myself in the head....

Hey Sponger,

Maybe you ought to give it a try, either way something positive might happen.

Good on you, both for your insane challenge and also for your honesty in posting your win rate. Most people would lie about it.

thanks a lot; just what I needed this morning. Something to read that made me spray my coffee out my nose. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

BTW, I would love to have your win rate. I'm still stuck; these damn fools know how to make J8o crack my AA on the river. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Nothing personal guys, but I really don't think that anyone who isn't playing 3,000 hands a day every day should be cutting on O'Doyles win rate.

Thanks, Shauna.

My thoughts exactly. Run a marathon in my shoes.

Well, I can do a mile in about 3:40, so a marathon should only take me about an hour and a half. Especially since I'll "get used to it" while I'm out there. Right?

Excellent, Tapin!

If I maybe so bold as to interpret your statement as how it relates to online poker win rates. If I have won at a win rate of say 2 BB/100 hands over the last 120,000 hands I have played, if I play 120,000 hands over the next 40 days, I will win the same amount of money.

Hmmm. But wait a minute, in the first 120k hands, I played that over a six month period, picking exactly the times I wanted to play, who I wanted to play against, and I never played if I was tired, upset or feeling bad.

If I play this 120k hands over the next 40 days, playing whenever I am able to, playing at any available table just so I can get the hands in, and continue to play even when I am tired, upset or feeling bad, ah heck, I still should be able to win at 2 BB/100 hands, after all, I am that good.

If you look back on some of his earlier updates, I did play 2500 or 2800 in a day. Anyone who thinks he's playing bad needs to STFU and do better for a month at the same hands/day.
