personal challenge and zoo contest

due to a large stale run at the party 33's and my up coming bill for the fall semester at michigan state i wanted to do some kind of persoal quest that will hopefully get my self out of a minor slump and raise some much needed money. starting tuesday at noon im gonna try and play 24 hours of straight sng's. im sorry if i am wasting anyones time by posting this useless thread but i need some kind of motivation to distract me from the fact that im gonna go hard for 24 hours. if you guys would like i will take guesses on how many sng's(party 33's) i will be able to get in during a 24 hour session with 25 bucks sent on empire to the winner(i know its not alot but 25 bucks is 25 bucks). i mostly play 4 tables but i might go to 6 during the night hours when the games are the best. ill most likely take a couple breaks along the way to eat and rest my eyes. heres some random stats on my recent play AT THE 33'S.

last 500

ROI 17.3
ITM 41.9%

last 100

ROI 2.9%
ITM 36.8%

i will take guesses up to noon on tuesday. please guess my roi in the event of a tie. i dont post much im a lurker, but my success in poker would not have been possible without the help of 2+2. sorry again if i have wasted anyones time and thanks in advance for anyones support.

100 SnGs. You will inevitably fall asleep at some point.

If you are 4 tabling I will say 116 games and a 12% ROI

Dude, buy a $100 crt monitor off ebay and 8-table for god's sake. You will go insane trying to do this. Good luck anyways. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ive got 2 17 inch lcd's , my problem with 8 tableing is when it gets down to the bubble. it seems like things are moving way to fast and i cant make the correct moves when i need to.

GL. Hope you make $8/Tourney to help pay for college. College is expensive, trust me I know.

90 is my guess.

19% ROI

If you were to start 4 tournies and then start 4 more at the middle of level 3 this would help with your bubble woes... assuming you don't already do this.

first my guess... 85 (5%ROI)

now, my reaction.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

This is a terrible way to approach both of these goals. A 24-hour run of SNGs is bound to lead to some terrible play at points, and could spell disaster for your bankroll and confidence. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think it's a very -EV strategy.

Do it for fun, but not to get out of a slump or to make extra $$$.

i know what you mean, i know that it is very bad to set any kind of money amount as a goal. if things start to really go down hill ill stop my self from doing anything stupid. if i start getting burnt to the paint i cant play good poker it would be stupid to continue.
