So i suck at propbetting. Not quite as bad as durrrr, but probably close. Basically anytime i have a big edge in a bet, its usually something against a friend and i don't want to take their money and end up not betting (fwiw im fine stacking friends at the poker table - THATS war, but in propbets it feels more like conning them out of money).

I've had a few bad poker related propbets, one a few months ago where i had to play 50k hands 6max in a month (ez money right? I ended up losing by miles, and only by persuading him that i was going to play for 24hrs straight last day was i able to buyout!). I also have lost a few other retarded ones (gave $200 to actionDJ at PCA trying to swim across the marina while he ran around it. Forget the fact im way out of shape AND was drunk, everyone said it was basically impossible for the swimmer.. oops).

So over xmas i had a propbet with a friend who played sngs and swtiched to cash. He was telling me about his pupil struggling at 100nl FR, and i made some comments about monkeys being able to beat it etc... He said in the current games blah blah blah i wouldn't be able to crush it without knowing how the games work, so i took a 20k hand challenge where i had to 24table 100nl fr and have a 5ptbb+, for $5k even money. Seemed free money for me, but while i was playing i mentioned the bet to ket, tom and a few other ppl and they all wanted action against me (wtf they must think i suck!), but i was half way thru and running at like 9ptbb so couldn't really take more action. I finished that bet easily, and while at PCA he offered me a new one.

THE NEW PROPBET

I have to play 100k hands of 50c/$1+ (while i can play higher, it doesn't make total sense) before the end of the month (bet started on the 13th) I also have to maintain a 3ptbb to stop me mass folding lots. It also has to be at FR, which is fine since i don't think i could 24 table 6max easily enough.

I also got odds, my $3k to his $5k. While most of you grinders probably see this bet as easy with regard to hand amount, bare in mind i basically FAILED to play 50k hands of 6max in a month, so this is a fuckload of hands for me. Ket also told me this was interesting enough to blog about (idk, better than not blogging i guess) so i figured i'd provide daily updates so you guys can watch me fail my stupid bet, or be like 20k hands short with one day to go etc...

Also i've not played any FR cash at all, so hopefully will work out where i should be stacking off etc.. Tbh im expecting the 3ptbb not to be an issue (its more to prevent me playing huge long sessions folding every hand to get in more hands) but the main problem will be getting used to 24 tabling, and actually playing enough hands.

Its hard to make a easy buck legally, its impossible to make a easy buck morally.
